1-1.5k work on bally the best, seriously $30-$100 for a board? lol you can get a 100x restistors for like $1.50 shipped to your door lol. The scr smaller transistors are pretty weak its best to put as little stress on the 30 YRO semiconductors as possible.

I agree $30 seems like a lot. But how many people
a) can solder successfully (no damage)
b) can solder to oxidized metal and make it stick
c) want to spend a couple hours soldering to 60 some sockets
d) want to 'damage' their otherwise original hardware (yeah that's an issue for some)
You realize not every socket needs resistors only about 15 per game.
The whole set of connectors having network resistors is a waste of time its all ways the same 12-15 pins and transistors on the light driver boards.

Ive documented the problem on 14 machines and its all ways the same ones when i get caught up on work Im going to figure out a board based solution.
Aux light driver boards never have the problem, and the altec boards only have a jumper added along with an additional power feed connector.

If socket shells are corroded the resistors can also be jumped from the wire terminal to the ground braid, but if a socket is in that shape it should prolly be replaced anyway.
