Anyone able to recommend a molex connector kit that includes a variety of sizes (mainly female but if it also has corresponding male fine) and the connectors that crimp onto the wire to suit the various sizes? Looking to replace some of the connectors in my Williams Indiana Jones and thought a kit with range of sizes would be the way to go. Been looking on ebay, marco and some local part places here in Australia but thought I'd check and see if anyone could recommend a good kit with range of sizes. Thanks.

Thanks.Great Plains Electronics can throw something together if Ed is active.
His day job sometimes distracts him from the web site.
I would recommend you get the crimper, and 100 or so of the trifurcon
.156 wipers, and then an assortment of male and female connectors that
match your game's needs. 11 pin connectors tend to be the ones that burn
out on lamp circuits for example...

Unfortunately it appears that US Post is not accepting shipments to AU
or NZ - not sure what gives there. Canada Post does accept shipments,
but surface takes upwards of three months......
I do sell Molex pins, etc. but not as cheap as Ed at GPE does.

USPS is not sending anything to Australia. The stated reason is Australian import restrictions due to covid 19. I just went 'round and 'round this
not too long ago with somebody.
You can ship to Australia via UPS, FedEx, or DHL. The price, however, is
just shy of absolutely ridiculous. The parts I sent fit in a small box
(1.5" x 4" x 8"). DHL was least expensive, at about $450 (not a typo).

There has to be a place in Australia that sells basic electronics parts.

Unless you have tons of money waist on shipping and you really want to wait a long time for international shipping buy the parts in Australia. I realize it’s a pain to identify the connectors but you will be happier if you do. Sit down with your manual and identify which connectors you think you are going to need to replace and make a list. The connectors are about $1 AUD a piece for the housings and the pins are way cheaper. Make sure you also get replacement headers for the GI on the circuit board. The connectors, header, and pins your going to need are most likely from the Molex KK 396 series you can get them from Mouser or Digikey in Australia.Thanks for the advice Daniel. Appreciate it. Being very lazy I know and was wondering whether some kind of kit with a range of sizes were available - kinda like a rubber kit I had in mind. But agree, best to identify what I may need and then go from there.

Here in the US I buy more often from Mouser then Digikey. Oh when your ordering the pins buy more then you need. It’s always good to have some on hand and they are dirt cheap especially in comparison to the shipping. If you don’t have a good set of crimpers you should definitely get one. Just in case you have problems looking up the part numbers here is the Molex site.

I hope this helps
