On my Williams Gorgar, the player 1 and the ball/credits display are sometimes finicky. Sometimes they look perfect...other times they flicker and the ball display gets really bright with an odd looking zero displayed...then it goes back to normal, perhaps with the ball digit not showing...then, tap the backbox and the display corrects itself. Reminds me of my old console TV - bang the top and the picture straightens out.
I know I can plunk down $200 and get new green LEDs as a replacement (really thinking about that option) and nice to know it would run off of low voltage. But, any thoughts on why the gas plasma does the strange dance?
