I was told they would withstand greater heat. considering Williams pinball adopted black plugs for their GI power starting with Twilight Zone (not the header side) and that alleviated those burning out there's probably a psychology behind it lol. Brad said he doesn't use those so I don't know if it's the lighting or if they were actually used on the sound board. I find the friction locks on those to be softer and they're way easier to manage taking the plugs in and out. beyond that I condone replacement of all the high current power plugs/headers on these games. the original IDC stuff is fine for the control and video wiring. I wish I still enjoyed working on these games, but maybe one day it will come back.
Great Job Brad, looks awesome, you do such great work.
Thanks!
On the molex header pins, what are the black ramp fittings used for and why do they have the black ramp fittings?
