So I'm swapping a Baby Pac-Man playfield from a later machine into an earlier cabinet. For those that don't know - later playfields used a lamp PCB for all of the center lamps instead of individually wired sockets.

Turns out they both use a different molex connector to join the playfield to the cabinet. I need an adapter for my "newer" playfield to connect to the older cabinet wiring. Has anyone ever done this?

From the Pinwiki at section 5.2 it mentions how a Pigtail Playfield Adapter is needed..

"5.2 Pigtail Playfield Adapter
When swapping playfields--especially a lamp socket playfield and lamp board playfield--The playfield connector might not match up with the connector in the cabinet. A pigtail adapter will allow the different playfields to be used without having to modify the original cabling or connectors.
Materials Needed:
(1) Connector Plug, 15-Pin, 0.084"
(1) Connector Receptacle, 24-Pin, 0.062"
(12) Crimp Contact, Socket, 0.062"
(12) Crimp Contact, Socket, 0.084"
(TODO: Wiring instructions)"

Anyone done this?
 
you'll likely just need to find a copy of the pinout for both connectors and match them up. shouldn't be too difficult.

Unfortunately the newer playfield has 12 pins on its connector and the older cabinet has 14 pins on its connector.
