I have a Coin Taker premium LED non ghosting kit for my Shaq Attaq. (I know... it doubled it's value haha) I've noticed some of the LED's ghost. Is this because of where they're located on the playfield or could they be not non ghosting?

Gottliebs are known for ghosting ... i had a smb and wipeout and useds the best leds and still some ghosting. I also have a wpc 95 pin with rottendog board that ghost some also so im looking to buy a,original board. Its annoying to say the least

Non ghosting leds takes care of led ghosting period. Your issue is more likely a lamp matrix problem such as a diode on backwards/shorted or a transistor board issue on the row or column of the matrix.

My issue or op? Gottlieb system 3s tend to ghost in my experience with them. A original board took care of my issue on my wpc 95 pin

Anyone's issue. Ghosting is caused by the way the lamp matrix is pulsed. Non ghosting bulbs solves this every time completely. There are other times where lights might be lit when they are not suppose to be. This isn't led ghosting but a symptom of a lamp matrix problem which could be board related or have other causes.

Not super sure how bright the led is while ghosting compared to when it's 100% on but when it should be off.... they are about 30%.

Gottlieb System 3 did feature lamps a bit differently. I am not surprised "non ghosting" LED bulbs ghost.

Non ghosting bulbs are no problem in gottlieb games. This is not the cause either.
