I got all the connectors from Bob Roberts. They are listed here as .100 housings and .156 housings: http://therealbobroberts.net/conectas.html I also got polarizing keys, and these headers: ".100 Straight non-Molex header 36 position", which look like this: http://therealbobroberts.net/snap100.jpg and the same deal for .156 sized headers: http://therealbobroberts.net/header24.jpg I didn't end up replacing all the header pins though....only the .100 ones on the MPU board. >Did you ever replace the C23 filter capacitor on the >solenoid board, I read that it is suppose to last only 10 >years and most likely needs to be replaced. Nope. I replaced all the electrolytic caps on the Vidiot board. I may replace the filter cap on the solenoid board at some point. I'll check it with my capacitor meter and let you know if it's bad. For a replacement, this one from Bob Roberts would probably be close enough: http://therealbobroberts.net/12k25v.html Thanks Darren! I got all the connectors from Bob Roberts.

Did you ever replace the C23 filter capacitor on the vidiot board, I read that it is suppose to last only 10 years and most likely needs to be replaced. I need to get one, please let me know where you get yours if you buy one. Nice job, wherer did you buy the connectors from?
