Hey Gex its me

how is the list generated? based on listings during 2023?

one issue I had was after completing the work there was tracking issues trying to get the light gun calibrated it would skip all over the screen. Of course i blamed my workmanship and re-did the Molex connectors at the light pen to cord. issue still existed so i soldered the cables together without molex connection. tracking still existed and found instruction for adjusting the potentiometer. After messing with the set screw I got the skipping resolved. it made mention of using an oscilloscope to specific settings and then dial to between 20-24 pulses but that is beyond my skillset and not sure who would have that equipment and know how locally. at the end of the day the Macs is restored and working!

new cord installed. will include photos of some of the repair. although i doubt this thread will ever help anyone else I like to think it will

Im going to roll the dice on some Molex Female .062 Pin connectors. I don't think it will be as easy to remove the pins as I hoped and I want to avoid solder/shrink tube. EDIT: the .062" are too big, it looks like I need a .0475" (1.2mm). Approx from digital caliper. I can not find the smaller pins, also it looks too difficult to remove the pins off the wire after crimped. So I think my best bet may be mentioned above by stripped 1/2" of wire past the pin and solder onto the new cord.

Thanks for all the help guys, i guess they are custom only way would be from someone who makes knockoff controllers or to steal from an authentic controller. I am going to try to remove and reuse from an existing controller. I appreciate all the different input. I am trying to make this repair as authentic as possible so re-using all first party components should be the best.

Thanks! It helped to talk through it. This is the plan. I will remove the housing and pins from a sacrificial controller. Makes more sense then trying to source the pins and ill be taking apart the controller plug anyways.

I might have to remove and swap over.

Well i have another macs so i can open it to get the pin out since its different than other light guns (macs rifles wont work with other lightgun games) so where green goes etc I can just use my existing as a wiring diagram. maybe I will have to try to uncrimp and recrimp the pins off the snes controller I will sacrifice. Was hoping to just buy new pins

Basically where to get pins to be able to make this connection from a cord.
