@Lemony Vengeance worddddd. maybe add in that extra 5v on pin D? (One reference I found on the non-jamma-ness of the egret 2 https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28853)

I've made a few wiring looms for cabs that haven't had them and I can never get them looking as nice as whatever wiring comes as stock, so personally, I wouldn't replace it.
Wash it. Take it out, let it sit in some warm water and Simple Green, hose it down and leave it out to dry.

I would be using a standard blue 56 pin edge connector and all required pins would be populated. the Hirose edge connectors we all know and love are no longer manufactured, and Sanwa knows this. They're selling them for $8 a pop + shipping on Rakuten :/
anyone have ones they like?

They had a tray of brand new CR7E 56DA connectors at JAEPO that sold quickly.
You'll have to pay a bit more, and consider minimum quantity and lead time, but it is an active part and you can still place an order: https://www.digikey.com/product-det...td/CR7E-56DA-3.96E/CR7E-56DA-3.96E-ND/8561489
Digikey wants $14 each with no price break for bulk orders.

I'm quite surprised they said flyback couldn't be repaired. How hard is it to rewind a flyback transformer? I've done all sorts of rewinding before on electrical motors, transformers and all kinds of coils. There was only 2 factors to be considered: gauge and number of windings.
Also in general I have the feeling that most repairers only work at tech level. One recent example is those OutRun repairers that can't fix a board with a dead PCM chip.
Monitor repairers don't repair the flybacks. I've never heard of someone actually opening one up to rewind it.
Mouser has them also and provides a price break, but these guys have a low-ish MOQ and the lowest price of the bunch. No telling if they'll honor that price though if you go for a quote.

Ok I'm just trying to understand.
So the difficulty is opening them? I guess plastic is either glued or hot assembled.

I'm assuming you don't have much experience with them? they're basically a plastic housing with multiple transformer windings, sometime a large cap inside and then they're filled with epoxy or some other kind of potting material. They're very much not serviceable.
here's a picture of one:
you can see the bottom of this flyback housing is filled with white epoxy

agreed 100%. They're NOT user serviceable.
btw.. "transformer wingdings" made me laugh. It's too late/early for me right now.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but that's why it says "Manufacturer Lead Time: 16 weeks", and you absolutely can place an order. It just takes sixteen weeks.Quantity Availablenot happening, can't buy something that isn't in stock

By all means, use another easily found connector, but I'm pointing out that they are still manufactured and you can purchase them.

That's absolutely that, I've never tried to open one. I'm genuinely eager to understand what makes them unfixeable.
Thanks for the detailed explanation.
I know security0001 (owner of arcadepartsandrepair.com) has Wells Gardner K7000 flybacks produced as well as a number of other flybacks. Let me post make a post over on KLOV and ask the old-timers there.
Ok so I bought an LED lamp for the e2 marquee. If it runs well with the 100v I’ll let you all know what brand etc.
Anyone have a grease suggestion for the rotation mech? Otherwise I’ll just buy some general purpose stuff and report back how that worked.

if it uses roller/ball bearings then some automotive "Bearing grease" would likely be ideal.
if you want to get all professional about it you can clean out all the old grease with some "brake clean" and then "re-pack" it with the fresh grease using a grease packing tool ( a small plastic tray thing that looks like an orange juicer, used to force the fresh grease into all the crevices of the bearing). All of this should be readily available at your local auto parts store and it's what I do to clean up old bearings when I work on my cars.
I should note that I also work for a bearing manufacturer at my day job so I know way more about bearings than a normal person should
if it's not using roller bearings then... I'd have to know more about the design to make a suggestion
