G.I flickering on “Capcom” BBB

Noticed the G.I flickering on BBB.. it’s not LEDs , it’s the incandescent bulbs.

Now I have recently changed the game from 110v - 230v via jumper cable. Used the manual and a confirmation picture from another BBB owner to confirm the pins were correct.

Could this be the issue.. did I miss anything in the backbox for the boards?
 
Did you ever solve this? Have the exact same issue on my Pinball Magic. It appeared progressively over the last month so it shouldn't be anything with 110-230 change.

Looks like a power supply smoothing issue.
As Pinball Magic is older than Dave's BBB I would suggest changing out caps that supply the lighting.
Capcom board sets also do have an issue with some of the large caps physically breaking one leg (or both) off the board after they have been shifted around a lot.
