irobot, all my Atlantis score displays just started flickering to!
After researching Pinside threads, Ray's Tech Tips, diagnostics, cleaning, checking for cold solder connections etc. and finding nothing obviously wrong, I'm thinking the displays are just old originals, likely degassing and needing replacement.
The only thing I noticed was a bit of blackening (oxidation) on the left side first digit and a bit on the right side last digit. According to Ray that is a sign of degassing and so to just bite the bullet and order new Led displays. This makes sense to me, as even if that is not the problem, I will likely need to replace the displays at some point anyways (my Atlantis is a keeper). He mentions not to buy and install old used ones as the problem will likely display itself again!
Hope that helps.
