I'm pouring over the EATPM manual and getting reading to start plugging things into things, but I figured I'd reach out to existing EATPM owners for a potential facetime/skype to do a comparison and save me some headache.

That or upload a video with "where's 'at go? Where' this go?" and I or someone else can go through the list for you.

Since I'm going from 0, that might be a long video! About half of the connectors were marked and others were obvious, so I'm definitely about 70-80% there.

Figure I'd try the long shot and if nobody's willing to take me through their boards I'll do it the tedious way.
 
@thejefu The quickest way is to count the pins on the connector, and note where the key is, and then scan through the doc looking for a connector with that configuration. After that, check wire colours. You'll find it quickly enough.
 
In your shoes I would get some decent quality pictures of a known working machine.

If anyone on here has an EATPM, some high res photos of the boards and connectors in the backbox could save this guy a load of time

Found the reference in the last few pages of manual, making progress!

One thing I have noticed is J1 through 3 is missing on the IC. Rest looks to be complete and in the right place.

Make sure those voltages are correct before you power on.

You got a picture of the apron at all?
 
All done

IC: J1 and J3 missing
MPU: J6, J7, J8, J10, J16 missing
(All lamp/switch connectors)

Audio ribbon missing.

Gave it a boot, lit up, turned it off, doesn't want to turn on again. Guessing I'm getting these missing parts and some fuses!

I take it back, the main socket in my garage died.

@Dex-Jay you wouldn't happen to shed any light on this missing connectors? They're all lamp/switch connectors so I figure it's a single cable set I'm missing?
