I'm finally getting around to fixing a few things on my pinball machine (it's the only one I own, so not as familiar as I am with arcades). One of the issues was the general illumination in the backbox, which has been out for a while (the playfield is fine). I tested all the fuses and they're all good. I followed the wires to connector at J120 and realized that they're heavily burnt. I move the wires a bit, and the general illumination came on in the backbox. However they ended up tuning off a few minutes later, as I knew it wouldn't be a permanent solution, but was happy to know what the issue was.

Okay, so a few questions...

I read someone online that a cheap fix would be to switch the wires from one of the burnt up pins to a non-burnt one, since they are not all in use, but still all part of the same connector. Would this work in this situation?

I know for the long run I would be better off just replacing the connector. I skimmed through the manual quickly, but didn't find the part number. What is the exact name of that connector? Is it this? https://www.twistywristarcade.com/156-kk-series/800-connector-housing-11-pos-156-.html

And would these be the pins to get for it? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Qty-of-4-Mo...676747?hash=item1c5dda5fcb:g:J8AAAOSwd4tUGE33

By the way the machine is a Bally Party Zone.

Thanks in advance!
