On my Shadow J120 is nice and crispy so one backbox string is out. No problem, I can replace header and repin a new connector.

Question is: Should this also be done to J121 playfield header and IDC connector or should it be left as-is? This connector doesn't get hot, shows no sign of discoloration and all it's GI strings are working well in home use.

Don't fix what isn't broken, or do it along with the other GI work? What would you do?

Thx

Might as well while you have the driver board out. It's another $1 in parts and 20 minutes of time to replace it. Look at J115 as well on the left side of the board. Do it all now and never monkey with them again.

Depends if you have upgraded to leds the draw is way lower now and I'd leave them alone, but if still using incandescent bulbs and your confident in your soldering ability do them both.

Yep, might as well do both headers. Went fast. Thx

Now I can see Alec Baldwin real good.
