For me it's relaxing almost zenish. just do them 1 wire at a time no big deal. Hell I picked up a bally SS viking that the wiring was completely destroyed and since I finished with it you could never tell I repaired it, very satisfying. Yes it does work also.

Oh yeah, we all have projects in the closet, lord knows my closet is full lol. My latest project is building my JAMMA test bench. Picked up 1 of thoes sony pvm monitors offered here on klov. Found an older harness from my xenophobe de conversion. Picked up 2 volt/amp meters so that I will have continuous monitoring of the 12v and 5v lines. Building a few harness adapters so I can run some pinball mpu's on the bench also. Lots of crimping going on here. Maybe if the planets align and there is some way to get it in my neck of the woods I can help ya out.
I now own zork40's baby pacman and I have to tell you he did an incredible job on this.
maybe you can reach out to him don't know if hes around klov, but he knows his baby pacman. jeff f, I believe also knows his baby pacman machines.
I got 2 granny and the gators I need to clean up myself.
as drew said, there's really nothing to this task, just takes time and patience.
I've never repinned a baby pac but i've repinned a jamma harness and plenty of other connectors ect.. just gotta jump in feet first.

Over 4 years later and over the past 3 weekends I have redone these 2 connectors. Having 5 kids I am surprised I even did this much!
Redoing this connector was interesting, You can't shove two wires into the new connectors I used, so I had so solder them together then add a little pigtail wire that goes into the connector:
And I was able to salvage the key plugs from the old IDC and use in the new connector!
