   Hi Ron,   
      
   If you have the correct machine then the plugs should be correct.   
      
   However if you have the wrong pinbank assembly then it is possible that   
   it will have 11 pin sockets instead of 12 - the schematics should show   
   the plugs and sockets and the number of pins for both sockets and plugs   
   - assuming you have the schematics/manual that is.
