Are you referring to the sockets that joins the mpu to the driver board or did they use a gottlieb style edge connector on some boards?

It's the Gott style edge connectors. On the display driver board. And I think the pins/crimps are maybe different from the regular molex style I have here?

If gottlieb double sided style they are well gone,not made in years, and last time i saw pins for sale they were over dollar each,cheaper to buy a jamma edge connector

Not double edged. I'll post pics later.
Had quick look earlier and looked like Marcos sold a suitable connector. Need to double check.

Basically 2 or 3 of the wires... the pins/crimps seen to have come loose in the connector so the connection is a bit flaky.

have you got pics of the connectors? I recently sourced some very old obscure connectors, willing to see if I can find these for you.
The crimp pins look like standard .156 to me. GPE has the same pins in the connector housing section.

Ah ok. When I looked at mine I thought they were different - will have closer look today. I have those, so if the actual connector is ok I might be able to just repin.

Perhaps your spares are .156 trifurcon which aren't right for edge application. As you say once you wiggle them out it'll be clear what needs doing ?

Thanks for the link ! Ordered a bag of pins
If it’s the same side connectors that are on firepowers displays like Chris said they are unobtanium I ended up fitting new displays

Fingers crossed for a happy ending.

Ah ...well spotted. Jeezus how many diff connectors and pins are there .
Oh well ..... GPE it is then. Anyone need 100 crimp pins for Gottlieb edge connectors ? ?
Dang, The whole plugs, sockets and pins thing can be a pain in the ass.
I cant find those AMP pins anywhere in the UK. Is there not a 0.156 molex plug that can use the pins you bought that can also replace the AMP plugs ?

I'm sick of looking now , just gonna order from GPE.
Or I could go Mad Max and just solder them straight to the board ? ....I won't , tempting though
