I have someone looking for LED displays for their 8 ball. They currently have only 1 failing (player 1). My question is can you replace only 1? Or do all 4 - 7digit and 1 - 6 digit displays need to be replaced together? Never owned an early solid state Bally. Does it have a control board that needs replaced like early Williams?

When replacing just plug and play?

Where can I find the best deal whether I only need 1 display or all 4/5? Links would be awesome! Thanks!

Quoted from bluespin:

Bally and Stern (77-84) are just plug and play. You can buy a single led replacement display from a Pinball Life, but it’ll be cheaper to repair it. You can buy all the needed components at Great Plains Electronics.

To be clear. Can replace 1 display with LED and keep the rest Plasma?

My mistake. It is 8 Ball so they are 6 digit displays. Going to look at it tomorrow morning. Easy way to tell difference between outgassing on these displays and missing/ erratic segments? She said eventually the whole display goes blank.

So after all that it turns out it was a loose connection...lol. Thanks everyone for chiming in. Easiest house call I've ever made. Didn't even have to open my toolbox!
