Name that connector: the thread

@Mrhide - You might give a shout to this guy.

His email link is on the page i posted.

He has a page documenting his work on a Quasar here.

If he doesn't reply, put a metric and standard ruler on the pins to find the appropriate pitch....probably metric as they're european....but not definite.

Once you have the pitch, you should be able to find SOMETHING from molex that will make due.....

not a lot of documentation on Zaccaria stuff, to be fair.

Haha
I actually got it working and playing with DuPont cables

I am laughing cause I did end up emailing him about a video inverter that this game requires… page 17 of hantarex mt900 has a schema of it.

Zaccaria made amazing pinballs
 
I'm glad you were able to get it working!! :D

They definitely made interesting ones....despite the fact that I've spent 10 years at Texas Pinball Festival, I have not gotten to play anywhere near as many as I'd have liked.
 
Looking for a datasheet for this Burndy 160 pin edge connector found on an Aleck64 mobo

I couldn't find any other markings. Looking to use specs (specifically pitch info, etc.) from the datasheet to make a new N64 cart adapter. The pins are too tiny to use a caliper for.

You should be able to get a fairly accurate spacing by counting, say, 20 or 30 pins, and measuring that distance. Divide by the total length to get the distance between pins. The more you count before measuring, the more accurate it'll be.

That looks a lot like a PCI* connector. I found several that look like it in photos, but I haven't found specifics yet. Maybe that'll help kick start your hunt.

I'm confused by the markings on the PCB though. I count 160 pins, which it references, but why does it say 82 on the other end? If you count the spacing, it'd be 82 per side - 164 total. So that 82 should be on the other side. Did they count the gap as one pin (which makes 82 accurate) or was it uncounted (which makes 160 accurate)???

This Samtec unit seems pretty close: https://www.samtec.com/products/htec8

You can configure it to be 80 per side and it splits by 32/48 as the Aleck one does. The diagram seems to indicate a larger spacing for the key, so you'd want to check your measurements.
