Hi Neil,
That is what is known as an "Insulation Displacement Connection" or
IDC. Done properly they are very reliable. It's not clear what area of
your Elite you are having problems with.
The .156 Molex connections on an Elite that are on ribbon cable are the
bussing for the meter cards. The other .156 Molex connections are the
audio i/o to each strip, which use 2 conductor shielded microphone type
cable. The only place in an Elite that has the type of Molex connections
that Greg is working on is the motherboard in the master section. This
has always been a problem area in this console.
The other, smaller, IDC connectors in the console are .100 AMP or
Panduit connectors.
Please let us know what you are having trouble with and we can try and
be more help.
best,
Ike

Thanks Greg. What type of connector did you go with, in particular,
how does it interface with the ribbon cable?
The main problem with our 1986 Elite is the ribbon cable is pushed
into the 'teeth' of the molex connector and that is it, job
done. Which has never seemed to be a particularly stable connection.
Not familiar with the Series II, perhaps it's a different set-up.

You're plenty man enough. I just finished, and it took maybe 16
hours? Just get a good desoldering weapon, be careful, and go at
it.

Heroic and inspiring. I use these words because our Elite needs
the same treatment, and I am not man enough to do it.
Good job!
