Amp rating for earth braid strap for Alien Poker (Williams early SS)

[VeeMonroe]

Anyone know what amp rating I need for an Alien Poker (Williams early SS) grounding strap? The one on there at the moment is shot.

Seems to be available at 10A, 15A and 30A on Pinball Mania. There's nothing on the machine, in the Williams Solid State Flipper Maintenance Manual or in the Alien Poker manual.

Is there any left that you can measure the width of, they are listed on the link you posted, but I think possibly different sizes are used in different locations, I. E. Backbox GI and main earth are different widths.

It’s literally a difference of 1mm. It would be hard to measure accurately - hence, asking incase anyone knew!

the earth braiding in all those old pins is way over the top. they just carried in from
the EM days. just buy the stuff you like the look of. honestly. that’s what it comes down to.

That's true, but if you want to make contact by putting a screw through it, the narrower stuff's a PITA. This is the stuff in my Star Trek
