I have a Rocky & Bullwinkle that was recently fixed up by SKYWELKER for me, and it's working perfectly, but when I changed out the incandescents for LED's they are all flickering like mad. Skywelker said he hadn't seen anything like that happen before with a Data East and recommend I try the forums for a solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

somewhere i read that some led's don't work well in one direction, pull a bulb, rotate it 180 deg and reinstall so that you switch the terminals. Dont know if it will fix your issue, just a thought.

I used anti-ghosting anti-flicker frosted premiums from cointaker. Might want to give those a try.

Are you referring to attract mode only?

Don;t know much aboot DE, But I know with B/W sometimes if you switch 1 bulb ina string out with an incandecent it will fix this issue.

It flickers in all modes. I'll give all of these suggestions a try.

Thanks!

I put LEDs in the one I had, didn't flicker at all, they were a combo of different makes too (what I had on hand), none were the anti-flicker kind either. I have never had a flicker issue on DE games.
