Quoted from StratDoc:

Great post.
I have a space riders - fully works - but the credit and ball count lights take a long time to come on and often don't come on a the same time. Usually have to play several games or leave the game on for a while before they work. Have never been able to track down the cause.

Mine does that too.

Is there anything special about the micro switches under the playfield for rollovers and spot targets, etc...? I can't find replacements by the part numbers. Will any standard switch with the right blade length work?

Quoted from trueno92:

No crazy science here. Just leds from comet and aliexpress. Some work better than others and in some bulbs you are forced to use incandescent. Cant go with full led but you can get close.

What is the issues with having LEDs on the Ataris? Do they just not work? I have a Bally Eight Ball that came with LED's, but they kept blinking. I learned that the LEDs don't draw enough current through the driver transistors to stayed locked on. I got an adaptor board to solve that problem. I read that another solution is to attach a resistor to the bulb socket. Do Ataris have the same problem or is it something else?
