Quoted from metal-mods:

Siegecraft adapters (only $35- why waste all that time soldering resistors to LEDs?) And comet LEDs. The end.

If your lamp board is riddled with bad SCRs siege raft won’t do you any good. That’s why I just do the full board replacement from weebly or alltek

Quoted from FatPanda:

replacing board components isn't bad if you have the proper tools (desoldering gun IS A MUST). Especially if it's just bad SCRs. Some boards are too far gone (ones that have bad battery damage) where a replacement board would seem more fitting. Like I said, I'm the ultimate cheapy

I’ve done the resistors, piggy backs and the full board replacement. Since I’m not having to buy these left and right (once a year maybe), I just replace the board and be done with it. Just under $100 for piece of mind. Well worth it.

By the way, I have a stack of semi working to working lamp boards from various early stern and Bally games for sale if anyone wants them. Haha
