I recently purchased a SMB pinball with several burned out bulbs. I purchased all LEDs to replace the older bulbs. Now that they are installed, there are certain areas that do not work. If you see in the pic, down the middle row the 1,2,3, and 10 million are lit up but 5 million is not, even though they are all connected to a strip in a row under the playfield (it's just under P for SUPER). There are many other random spots (15 or so) that do not light up. What can this be? This is my first pin and this seems to already be a really addicting hobby! Any help would be most appreciated!

Noooooo..... SM is *horrible* with LEDs. Way too strobey! Stick with regular incandescents. Use colored #44s or #47s if you want to add some pizzazz.

Some games are just like that. You could try putting some caps across the LEDs to take out some of the strobing but I agree. Incandescents will be the easiest.
