Quoted from ronaldvg:
You are only applying the glue to the metal parts on top. What you want is just bind them together so the diode does not viibrate anymore what causes metal fatigue in the legs of the diode because they are too thin. No risk doing the glue, more risk doing the Stern way. I tried and I stopped because you cannot do the tiewraps without bending the legs. Hot glue is much faster, more easy and also more safe for the components.

Could you provide us with a pic of what you've done?

My kits come tomorrow.

This thread has been dominated by talk of the spacer. What about the capacitor fix? Easy to install?

I bought a hot glue gun today. Looked like the best approach.

Got the kits. Putting the zip ties on would have been a disaster. I'm sure I would have ruined it in the process.

Hot glue worked perfectly. I highly reccomend.

Capacitor was plug and play, as described.

I'll do the other board tomorrow night.

Quoted from docquest:
Not sure why some feel the need to do it differently?

All of the tabs were slanted on mine. No way was I going to try and zip tie those things. The risk of breaking something was to great.

Hot glue put zero stress on the components, and that diode is question is bending nowhere now.

Finished 2nd Node board tonight on GB. Hot glue and added the capacitor. No issues. Game is running great!

Quoted from ita47:
So you guys that have hot glued the diodes did you remove the node board to apply the glue or did you just leave it in place on the playfield while applying the hot glue? I'm a little nervous about installing the spacer and zip ties.

Removed the board.

Quoted from Archon9000:
What a pain in the a** installing the spacer and zip ties. I've caused more damage to the legs of the diodes by fiddling with the zip tie through it and making it wiggle. Feels completely loose now and ready to pop off the board.

Use hot glue, and mentioned throughout this thread.

Zero stress on the diode.

Quoted from Archon9000:
I wish that I had read this thread before doing the work

You might still want to do it....to save the diode from breaking. You mentioned it was worse now.
