See how it looks when you get the incandescents back in and get a sense of the energy and ball speeds. Rebuilt all the caps and bridges on my sttng and it transformed the game.

I can't stand LEDs in old games unless they are pulse controlled. Like LTG said, replace the GI pins. Be patient with the board work. If you decide to replace the caps, be super patient with the removal. A good desoldering tool is key (e.g. Hakko ideal). This one isn't bad. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B88FRME/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00
