Joined the club today. Couldn't find one locally so I had her shipped in. Little damage in shipping but otherwise she's looking good. Only had time to put one quick this morning but looking forward to dialing the machine in later tonight. Hoping I can find a red shooter rod replacement but #20-9253-4 seems out of stock everywhere.
Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:I picked one up from pinball life, looks like they have them in stock

Do you have any pics of what the translucent one looks like on your game?
Do I have a bad display? The top row started doing 666 this on me. Before I order a PinScore replacement, I was wondering if there was something else I should check? Wish they made that display in White LEDs but doesn’t look like it. Not sure I’ll love the RED.
I have some some other weird issues too:
1. The GHT bank isn’t resetting after drop
2. the three switches in the ball lock area behind the draw bridge aren’t registering. Goes into ball search mode to kick it out of there.
3. The A of WAR doesn’t ever register.
I was assuming lose wires initially but it sure seems like a lot went wrong quickly. Any thoughts?

Quoted from Blackbeard:I’m assuming you reseated the ribbon cable correct?
No, I haven't checked anything yet. The display just started doing this during a game. Turned the game off and back on and its been like this ever since. Is the ribbon a common problem? Thanks for the pointer, I'll check when I get home tonight.
Quoted from Blackbeard:Yes, they're generally problematic.
What I would do: turn game on so you can view the display. Open backbox, and wiggle the display's ribbon cable at both ends. See if you can get the problem to correct itself. Be careful when you're messing in the backbox with power on though.
It just may need to be reseated (pulled off/put on) a few times.
This is the first place to start.
thank you very much @Blackbeard. That corrected the issue with the top row display. While I was in the there I made my RANSOM lights not green. The game came to me that way and its much nicer with white in there now. I also reseated the connectors for my drop target bank and ball lock switchboard and that solved both those issues too.
New Issue -
Looking closely at the display now, it seems like the top row is noticeably dimmer than the bottom row. Any thoughts on that? Are those high voltage lines like DMD use? Why would top be different than bottom though if its a power input issue?
