Sanity check- is the TM500 interface spacing .150" or .156"?
Something to be careful about with the JAMMA extenders; they sometimes tie A & B sides together at the high number end, where the interconnect pins are. I had ICs popping their tops in an FC-501 becau

I don't know what connectors are on your plugin, but milliohm meters typically take a 4 wire probe set. Two wires from each probe tip to individual plugs to the meter. Often a piece of coax, like RG17

577 CT Collector Voltage Knob needed.
I didn't see Chuck's post, but you can get plastic in liquid form from Smooth-On.com. Wear an shop apron or old shirt when mixin, don't ask how I know! SmoothCast 300 should do the job fine. 1:1 mixin

How can we set up a Parts Wanted list on Groups.io
Every group on groups.io has a database to use. Perhaps we can make use of that. Vince.
