Quoted from Pablito350:That's easy.... every BLUE one! (and the red ones behind the Williams logo)
Python's artwork on this backglass really gets washed out with bright LED's no matter the color on this one. We put in 1smd warm white frosted bulbs in our's, and we really like it.
Congrats on the game.

Yeah, I am very much not a fan of any of the colored LEDs in the backglass and agree with you that it just washes everything out. I've got a couple of other things I need to address first though. The upper left bank of drop targets aren't working at all, and the upper-left segment of every digit in the 3rd player score display doesn't light up so I've at least got to get the drop targets working before I tackle any cosmetic stuff.
Defuckulated my backglass lighting tonight...replaced most of the colored lighting with Sunlight White Comet bulbs.

Here's an after with the cannons lit up. It was basically the only color I left in the backbox aside from the color changing ones behind the castle eyes (which looks pretty cool, actually):

You've got some cleaning ahead of ya. Observation: be careful with that right upper playfield and the area where the two screws attach the shooter wireform. When I pulled mine, that piece was broken off and I had to epoxy it back together. Luckily it broke off clean and it was able to be repaired cleanly. These plastics are 30 years old and can be pretty brittle.

There are gates? Can you take a picture of the area you are referring to? The only thing I have in front of my trolls are the drop targets.

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Mine is plexi as well. I believe it is factory, as it hits that post where the bagatelle game is. My plexi has a blemish there, so I imagine they figured glass would break and went with plexi.
Mine was glass but there was also a plastic cover over the bagatelle.
Quoted from stumptown:I had similar behavior with locks randomly not being detected, or balls being released at times they shouldn't have been.
Did you ever fix it? Mine does that occasionally, but not enough for me to go digging around for a solution.

There you go, that's all of Section 3, which is all of the schematics. If there's anything else you need scanned, or pics of anything specific let me know and I'll get to it when I can.

I've ordered a couple of sets of ROMs from him. Fast turn around and fairly inexpensive, TBH.
