I think you might mean :

15 pin
16 pin
19 pin
28 pin

I just bit the bullet and ordered a million of them -  %.% - well, thousands anyway, my China office is organising them and the pins in the next day or so.

If you don't have any joy finding them I should have them in about two weeks.

The only part that might be an issue are the polarising pins....we'll see.

GPE Andy. Ed has just about everything and a top bloke to boot.

Www.greatplainselectronics.com

If Mike gets them locally will be worth a look as no doubt sourced from same factory

+1 for GPE - great service, and very reasonable shipping.  For the 4 connectors, shipping will probably be around $5-$10 - Ed's a great guy to deal with. Link to GPE 0.1"" connectors http://www.greatplainselectronics.com/Category-68.asp.

You can also try Big Daddy, and I have purchased from them as well with great service.  http://www.bigdaddy-enterprises.com/.

Either place has the total for the 4 connectors at about $5.  Marco is more expensive than either, and shipping from Marco is what it is."

the 25 pin is for the power supply / solenoid driver board (J3). and I have sourced the 15 pin.
thanks mike. <.>

Thanks to Marty.J & Steve2010
they are what i am after  ^^^

I generally buy my stuff in bulk from Ed around every 6 months.  Spend around $250 on all the common parts.

The way you're going Andy that sort of order would last you about a week I reckon.

I haven't been doing many early bally boards latley so I have no use to carry many. But thanks for the advice

For .100 connectors and pins I use GPE. Service is great and the price is more than fair.

yep. I have placed an order with GPE.
Most of the other components I need for the current repair will be here on Monday and the rest around Thursday.
So I will have plenty of parts to keep me going until the housings turn up
