Would something like Molex female terminals pressed right onto the ends of each board pin work?

I just tried out a Molex female terminal, and the answer is yes. The size is right and it fits pretty securely.
The Molex terminal doesn't go down the full length of the pin, but I compared it to the factory video lead, which plugs onto the board the same way, and that connector only covers about half the pin, too. The video connector is simply a female terminal about the same size with a bit of shrink wrap around it. The question is whether you would want to trust all three dozen leads to that sort of junction. Philco used that type for the video lead, so it's not completely loony. On the other hand, this board is dodgy under the best of circumstances. You'd need to extend a number of the leads a bit, to accomodate this kind of connector. That would be less work than installing two-piece connectors all around, though. If you did use push-on connectors all around, there would be some risk of accidentally dislodging one when replacing a tube, etc. Phil Nelson
