I'm working on a METEOR and I will replace connector on transformer J1 J3 (broken wires... pins damaged...) . What I found suspect is most pins used for G.I (bus and ground), most of them look burned (connector)... do you have some advice before I power it again tomorrow?

Remplace les pins au complet - cote male ET femelle (tu peut reutiliser le morceau de plastique). C'est le mauvais contact entre les pins qui cause le "burn".

Si les pins utilisées sont des Trifurcon pour les 0.156, oui cela va rester fiable très longtemps! Mais si ce sont des pins normales, et lumières toutes vieilles #44, et le header pas changé, le problème va revenir.
Cela vaut la peine de bien faire ce travail, ce sera résolu à vie. Attention: Il ne faut pas renverser les fils/connections dans chaque connecteur!

I recommend the use of Dow Corning #4 Electrical grease on ALL high current connectors used in pinball (and other applications). This stuff reduces contact resistance (and friction) and will result in a noticeably cooler connector AFTER you have repaired/replaced the burnt or overheated pins. I also recommend a proper crimper, or solder the pins after crimping as most amateurs do not get a good compression on the wires with the average crimping tool.

Hey John, from an ex-Vancouverite - welcome to MAACA!
You might have known my Uncle, Jim Weatherhead of Weatherhead distributors in the mid to late 70's - 80's. He's AWOL to the family now, but I know the coin-op community was a "small world".
