I have had a 74 Williams strato-Flite for 25 years. I decided to replace some lightbulbs and the rubber rings since they have disintegrated. After replacing the lights for the bonus numbers, I noticed that they only come on up to 2000 and then it seems there is a short somewhere that keeps the rest from coming on.

I have the original schematics and paperwork for the machine, but I have no electrical background and can't even begin to read the thing.

Has anyone had any similar problems with their machines? Is it an easy fix, easy to pinpoint or should I try and contact someone locally that can work on it.

This is really the only problem there is and although it doesn't doesn't hinder playing the game, it would just be nice to be able to see the bonus points as you rack them up.

    @Free Bally!, Pirates are often depicted with eye patches in popular culture, but the reasons for this vary. Here are a few possible explanations:

    1. **Injury**: The most straightforward reason a pirate might wear an eye patch is that they lost an eye due to injury. Pirate battles, sword fights, and the general hazards of seafaring life could easily lead to eye injuries, necessitating an eye patch.

    2. **Myth and Stereotype**: The image of a pirate with an eye patch has become a stereotype perpetuated by movies, books, and other forms of media. It's part of the romanticized pirate image that includes peg legs, hooks for hands, and parrots on shoulders.

    3. **Preserving Night Vision**: A more interesting and practical theory suggests that pirates wore eye patches to keep one eye adapted to the dark. When moving between the bright deck and the dark below decks, a pirate could switch the patch from one eye to the other. The eye that was covered
