    Default Sanyo Comet-II: Molex still makes original power supply connectors

    Hi everyone,

    I thought I might pass on current Molex part numbers to hookup to the original Molex header that powers the lights on Sanyo Comet-II's. It's amazing that Molex still makes the same parts for over 40 years, but they do!

    The following pic shows the header that needs a mating connector:

    This pic shows the mating connector installed and wired to a 9V battery (which happens to tuck nicely just above the connector.) Obviously, you could also wire the connector to
    any power source of your choosing, but I've found a 9V battery works really well and lasts a long time since the lights flash only for a second when you've hit the jackpot.

    You'll notice that the header has 3 pins, so you'll want a 3 pin connector. However, only the top 2 pins are actually used.
    The current Molex part numbers are as follows:
    (Note that a connector is made up of a Housing and Male Pins. You'll need (1) Housing and (2) pins to assemble ONE connector)

    3-Pin Housing: Molex p/n 09501031 ($.50 ea)
    Phosphor Bronze Pins: Molex p/n 0039000021 ($.17 ea)

    If your header is damaged and needs replacing, it is Molex p/n 0009652038 ($.33 ea)

    I bought these at Digikey.com at the prices shown above. Digikey is very reliable and has no minimum, but shipping will run you $6.99.
    I'm sure that any of the other electronics distributors that carry Molex products will also carry these.
