JAMMA: school me pls.

If you are talking about the connector on the board it is soldered into place. Remove the solder for the pins and it will just fall off. The connector on the wires will need an extraction tool to remove each wire. I don't know which size to suggest because I don't have a good size reference for the connector. Dimensions of the connector will help greatly.

Thanks OZ, yeah I'm good to go on the desoldering part, it's just what I'm going to be replacing the parts with once I get them off.

I will get some dimensions and pics in a little bit.
 
This is the equivalent of the one soldered to the board. It is .5" x .5", and you can see the way the slots are keyed just like a Molex connector would be. The one on the opposite connector (the part on the wire harness) has the male tips that match up to these keyed slots.

The game was made in 1993 so the connectors would be from around that era.

Are there any markings on the connector? The markings could be "Amp", "HSI", or anything else. These markings will help me narrow down the search.

Based off the the size I am guessing it is a .063 connector but everything I have is keyed differently than that one.

I've seen no markings at all but will check again.

This just came through from someone at BYOAC:

That connector is the AAMA standard dollar bill validator connector. It's an AMP "Commercial Mate-n-Lock" series.

I'm looking around to verify it now.

Your pic does match this Mate n Lock. It is odd that they would have two different connectors with the same name though...

Victory!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now the only thing is, the one currently on the adapter board is a little stubbier than this one (I have another one that matches the one in the diagram) I have that has the same keying on it. I guess I"ll have to see what diff flavors this blasted thing comes in. I see the corresponding part is listed there too. Now how is the best way to go about ordering the part? Do I go thru Mouser or Jameco? Or do I order direct from these guys?

Update: looks like going thru Mouser is the way to go. My only concern is that the one mounted to the adapter board is shorter in length than the one shown here. That connector is OK I think, it's the mating connector that's chewed up. It probably wouldn't hurt to get new pins though for the one that is in the adapter board like you had recommended.

Just ran down and checked, the connector they show is approx 1" in length, and the one on the adapter board is .5" in length. I guess I could just cut it with a dremel if I had to?
 
I usually order through Mouser.

The part on the board is actually a different housing. The deeper housings are designed to be used like any Molex connector, with pins and wires on both side mating together. The socket on the board is prebuilt with the pins already in place and just needs to be soldered on the board. I am searching for this part now...

You are the man OZ.. Thank you so much for your help. It will be so sweet if this is the issue!
