Pins and tools for re-pinning System 1 connectors

You need the Molex extraction tool 11-03-0003 or 11-03-0016, a hand crimper such as Molex WHT-1921 (11-01-0015) or 63811-1000, about 200 Molex 08-52-0072 single-sided pins for 18-20 gauge wire and a few 08-52-0113 Trifurcon pins for the two power supply plugs. Buy loose tin-plated phosphor-bronze pins, not chained or gold ones. The housings can be reused.
