Just picked up an original Space Invaders and wanted to replace the Marquee lights with LEDs.

Anyone ever do this and have a recommendation for source of LEDs that would work ?

Thanks in advance !

I've had amber pinball LED bulbs in mine for the past
5 years with no issues. The white were too bright and
showed "spots" from a distance.

I've replaced a couple of fluorescent light fixtures in my uprights (Tempest and Asteroids and will probably do some more eventually) with LED strips which are available at lots of outfits these days.

I ran wires from the strips to the +10.3 V and Ground tabs on the Audio/Reg boards and it worked fine (even if it's not that pretty but it's all internal so only I'll know about it :) ) .

They worked very well, particularly for the Tempest marquee which just looks great with the brighter light that these strips deliver.

Just FYI...
