Argh..

Any easy solution (do the pins on these connectors pop back out with the right massage?)

I bought a back-up MS9-29 and the keying for the degauss connector (I think) is reversed

If you want to remove the pins from the degauss connector then insert a small paperclip in the little square holes on the connection end, not the wire insertion end and whilst pushing the paperclip in give it a little circular motion wiggle to flatten the blade catch pin. They are similar to Molex .156 kk connectors with regards to releasing from their connector housings.

Am I right that these pictures show 2 variations on the MS9-29 chassis (or possibly previous owner mod)?

I've noticed the degauss seems to not work, so guessing that the wrong pins are connected in my case when the connector flips

one came from JCL with a sega new astro city, the other was an ebay purchase

I do see some shaking on the screen, though color issues don't seem to clear up.. I'm guessing my ebay chassis also wants a re-cap, but suspecting that at least that one connector is set up wrong

there are 4 versions of ms9-29, the version are T, A ,SU and N - taito, auto, sega universal and namco
there are slight differences on components and board layout, pretty sure the degauss switch wiring was same for all chassis and only the layout of the tracks was different on a couple of models - therefore the wiring of the connector always remained the same, in other words put the wiring back to how it was

Thank you!

This is 100% correct btw, in case anyone ever searches a similar subject and wonders like I did..
