Long obsolete and they are impossible to find. The only solution is to change to a molex housing. The molex housings are now obsolete but you can still find them for now. Molex does however still sell the pins, I have a couple 5k spools of them.
I dont think I was clear, Amp pins and/or housings are not available.
As of this past week, Molex now says the contacts for these have now gone obsolete. Was only a matter of time -- why continue to make contacts when they no longer make the plugs.

Which housings and which pins/plugs? The .093, .100, .156?
Oh, now.....Tyco will still fire up the machines and run you a batch of Amp pins.
All you have to do is meet their minimum.....What was it....15K.....25K piece?

I wish! I buy 15K or more at a time and am still considered a 'small fish'. I'm willing to bet they won't make more unless you are in the millions range.

You need to ask them what their minimum run is, and what the setup fee would really be.
Don't be afraid to negotiate with them, and you can also call up (the 'other guys') to see if they'd be interested in stocking some of these, or maybe one of the arcade repair parts places....
What you are paying for there is the "set up fee."
