Having barely eclipsed wet-behind-the-ears stage, I'm on my 5th pin - Elektra. Right away I go to work to clean it up and get new SMD/LEDs in it.

The backglass is looking fantastic (though not all lights are working even with new bulbs)! However, on the PF - blue targets arent all lighting, and the bonus lights flash/flicker brightly. Not even all of the bonus #s are lighting, but those that do, flash. Not as simple as replacing the bulb? Do those need to be non-ghosting bulbs?

Also, the mini-PF (below main PF), those GI lights dont stay on (as they do in Koji's video in this thread) - hoping it is as simple as a fuse.

All probably easy fixes, but is definitely frustrating after 4 hours and something as simple as lights arent working!

Quoted from Apinjunkie:

I'm loving this game, I got her up and running again and I'm just starting the process of adding some LEDs and dressing it up cosmetically. Just a few pics, I added a Comet LED strip under shooter Lane which really lights up the graphic. I replaced the stainless steel under it [quoted image]with a piece of lexan to protect the printed Plastics. The previous owner had the danger radiation sign as a Topper but I couldn't resist mounting it to the coin door and backlighting with LEDs. The wiring is all through the coin return and can be reversed no permanent damage to the coin door. And I have also fully LED the lower Playfield, May tweak a few things but I like the way it's coming together. I have the transparent targets to swap out and enough LEDs to swap out the rest of the Playfield,now I just need to find a little more time to do it.
