Optional:You can remove the unused wires if you want. You need a very small, flat object to slide behind the Jamma pins. Just push down while pulling the wire from the bottom. I use an adjustment tool for monitors, but even a very small screwdriver will work.
Strip the end of each wire in the power bundle. Crimp a forked terminal on the end of each one.
Pretty easy. Just be sure to get em' all.
You will need the .110 quick connects for the speaker wires. Strip the end of each wire, and then crimp them on the + and - wires. Next, cut a length of 18 gauge wire about 12" long. Strip both ends, and crimp a quick connect on one end, then twist the other end together with the ground wire in the speaker bundle and crimp both wires in a quick connect. It should look like this picture.
Do the same thing with the test and service switch bundle, but make the extra wire only about 6" long.
Strip each end of both the P1 and P2 wire bundles. Crimp a .187 quick connect on each wire EXCEPT the two ground wires. Keep them bare for the moment.
Cut 17 pieces of 18 gauge black wire about 5" long. Strip both ends of each wire.
Take the ground wire from the P1 bundle and one of the 5" wires you just cut and crimp them together with a .187 quick connector. Then do the same thing with the other end of the 5" wire and another 5" wire until you have crimped a total of 9x .187 connectors. Now put a last .187 connector on the end of the last wire. You should have a daisy chain of 9x 5" wires and 10 connectors.
Do the same for the P2 bundle, but you will have 8x 5" wires and 9 connectors.
I don't have a way to show you the Coin door connections for the same reasons as the video. There are too many different coin door setups out there. I have wired this one for a Happ over/under coin door with a molex connector. You have a Coin1, Coin2, +12V and Ground to work with . You may even just splice the wiring in to the exising wiring if you want.
That's it. Zip tie everything within an inch of it's life, and you are ready to go. Next we start to put this puppy together!
