Those from Sea Wolf, zz80 zzzap, and Tornado baseball style. Does anyone carry the pc mount solder in connector for these games. Or , if nla, is there a remedy in replacing them with something different?

Thank you in Advance.
 
I am not not sure about those boards but the MCRII boards and just about any other Bally/Midway from around that era I've come across used AMP Mate N Lock (.084) you can get them from Bob Roberts.
 
Just desolder it all, extract pins from housing, pop new ones in and resolder. I haven't done it, but I can't imagine it's too difficult, not sure if you'd need a specific extraction tool. For .084, you can use the ink tube part of a ball point pen in a pinch.
 
They're around if you really dig...I forget the name of them (wish I had a few myself). I know Mark S (dare I mention his name) had them but that was some time ago.

I was going to see if the regular Molex plus would line up if you remove the connector from the power supply but I dont think they will...the pin spacing looks pretty tight.
 
Aren't those just male Molex pins of some available size?

They may be those style, but it appears it is just like those on a DOT power supply. I got those from Bob Roberts. He does not have the smaller pcb mount ones.

Thanks I do have the extraction tool. I will look into unsoldering it. I just wonder if the tail of the pin will fit the hole as it is a crimp style. The white embossed oem for tron has the solder in style and is different.
 
Bob Roberts carries them. He lists them as Space Invaders power connector.

I had emailed him and he says no .

His appears to be the HARNESS end, not the PCB end:
