It is good as i have leant so much from your wisdom.  So now we have to work out what to connect to J2 :)
So you are telling me this should link up to the power supply??

How do we do this?

Check 3J1 connector on power supply. 
Pin 5 should be black and yellow wire, pin 13 should be grey and yellow wire.

Ok let's reset as i am getting things muddled.

The wires from the opto under the playfield go to a joiner and then two wires go to J16 (i currently had this plugged into J2)
So if i plug it into J16 this means J2 is now blank so i need to get two wires into J2
Glad you discovered this.  This was actually my sneaky intention when I asked you to send me the partial harness. #@#

Ok i followed the two wires from power supply. They go down the the area required. It looks like the wires have been crimped but the connector is missing.
They then go down to the12v plugs i originally posted.
So i guess I need the right plug

Hard to see clearly, but if there are a pair of small nicks in each wire, then they are from a missing insulation displacement connector.

Are you saying if this connector where present then the position is correct to plug into J2 on the Interconnect board?

So how do we connect them to connector? If i cut them there will be an extra end or can they connect to the connector joined like that?

This might get you out of trouble here.

IDC Connector

You can just press the wire down (in a slightly shifted position)into the cutters on the new connector.

Ok i will go and see nino to get the connector.

Pretty sure we're on track here, but just to clarify, where do these wires loop back to? 
Are there two of each wire coming from power supply J1?

Cool.

If you want to PM me your address details, I'll send the audio cable 1st thing on Monday.

Edit
You need to be careful when pressing the wires into the new insulation displacement connector that you don't accidently spread the cutting blades.  The blades are in a "V" shape so as you press down the blade cuts into the insulation, but if you press to hard or deep, you risk spreading the blades. 

You can get a special tool for the job, but they're a little pricey.  I usually use a very small flathead screwdriver blade held slightly diagonal on top of the wire to press it down. 

Maybe grab a couple of those connectors in case you make a mistake with one.
