my Paragon has been working fine for months. but has a worsening intermittent problem. the feature lights to the playfield keep going out. all of em.
i narrowed it down to what appears to be a loose wire or connection near the rectifier board. i took a closer look:
and then on the reverse side this mess:
the loose connection is not obvious and it’s not one of these directly soldered wires. why would someone solder direct? it makes me suspect the connector plug and sockets have failed in the past and maybe the problem i’m having is caused by that same problem.
so given this board is in the state that it is, do i add to the mess and solder another wire direct. OR. do i repair the connectors somehow ? any suggestions on what i’d need to repair this properly? it has 3 connectors 8,10 and 20 way
