What connectors to buy from Great Plains,,,for a noob...

[ROLLERBALL]

Looking to get a crimper and plugs ect from Great plains...
Looks like they have everything I would need...
Ok so i need some 0.156" connectors correct....and a crimper...

Anyone have like there product codes ect to fix up say older Bally and williams machines??
I just have no idea what parts to buy...

Just make sure you buy the good crimper.  GPE's are the good type, Mark and Greg (RTBB) has then too...

I've always used the .156" trifurcon for WPC games.  Not sure about Bally....Nino will know!

Don't forget to buy some peg spacers too!

Mines for Great Plains, its the one Ken recommended. Product code 1028 CT Crimp Tool Stamped and Formed Open Barrel Contacts. Sargent Quality Tools.

I wish GPE would do some kits up, it does my head in every time I go to order something from there (too many choices and I too am a newb with electronic components).  But they sure do have a great range at great prices and the postage doesn't hurt like some other OS retailers.

Crimper - 1028-CT - Don't buy the cheap rubbish in the auto shops.

This will do .100 and .156 - I use it all the time for Bally work.

Crimp contact - 08-52-0113 for thin wires - Buy these for thinner gauge wires

Crimp contact - 08-52-0125 for thick wires - Buy these for power supply etc - I usually just use these.

Housing - CS156-20-LR - and cut to size

Connectors - 26-48-1241 - and cut to size or;

Connectors - 26-48-1245 - With friction lock

Keyplugs - 15-04-0219 - grab a few of these if you plan on replacing the connectors.


Usually - I replace the Crimp contacts AND Connectors - you can reuse the Housing if theay are not damaged.

Hope that helps.
