hey all im working on my baby pacman have a few lights stuck on and a few other stuck dim.. i assume this is an issue with the light driver board AS-2518-107. i’ve identified the wires going to the problematic lamps brown/green gray/red orange/black blue/yellow.. well theyre all on the right side of the board my question is how do i check which transistor controls it Q1-30?
question 2 ive got these 2N3906 transistors i inherited will these be suitable replacements?
Thanks in advance!

No, you need SCR's. It's common practice to use 2N5064 (higher voltage tolerance), rather than the 2N5060 that was originally installed. They're a bit less likely to short out.

See this page for a lamp chart and other notes on the issue:

thanks!! and will the 2n5062 work? looks like thats the only one offered at arcadeparts where they sell the pots for this game.

Yes, but I'd really suggest the 2n5064. Pretty much every component supplier has them. Mouser, jameco, digikey, greatplainselectronics, etc.
