Hello,

I'm looking for a little advice from any other owners of this game who might know the best approach to replacing bulbs on the playfield that back onto coloured plastic. I want to replace all of them with LED lamps to avoid ever doing it again, but the problem I'm facing is how best to actually get the current lamp and socket out where I can work on them without breaking anything. Fat hands and a congested area make it too difficult to work with in place, but I'm worried I will break the solder or snap a wire if I attempt to unscrew them.

Any advice is much appreciated!

It would be the lights under plastic, for instance those right in front of the marching targets. There is so much around that location and the lights are so tightly spaced I can't see how I could get them all changed.

Absolutely, my machine is in pretty rough shape (the wedgehead glass paint has almost all peeled off for instance) and I'm doing my best to restore and improve as much as I can.

Thanks for the advice everyone! This will help a lot... I had hoped there was a way to get at this stuff to replace it without moving the relays, but knowing that I should give the plastic covers a scrub is a fair reason to go the entire way.

I don't suppose I could ask a favour? I was wondering if you would be willing to provide a nice photo of the backglass painting. I'm going to need to do something about mine and having a good reference is the first step to figuring out how to fix it. Most photos on GIS have terrible glare or were taken from weird angles for some reason.
