Good afternoon Pinside. I just acquired a new to me Austin Powers and I’m planning to do some LEDS in the playfield but I’d also like to replace the tube in the backlight. I started to research and it looks like there might be ballast compatible tubes but I’m not sure if those would work with my set up. Believe there is an electric ballast on upper right in this picture correct? Does someone make a good LED tube that would work with this? If not, is there a good guide on how I’d need to bypass it with this wiring schematic to be able to use a ballast bypass LED?

Thanks in advance for helping a true newb out.
