I’m about to take on a project involving Daphne & an old stripped Space Ace cabinet. I want full functionality including the lighted difficulty buttons. The buttons in question are the Atari-style cone/volcano buttons. They are the “Cherry” buttons with the LED.
I have seen this discussed in a few places around this site, included here....

My problem is that I am an absolute idiot when it comes to schematics. I see schematics have been posted, but I do not know how to read them. I managed to figure out the scoreboard on my own, but these lights are confusing me. I wanted to get that Gamecab LED driver board to try and keep this simple, but it looks like they are not available anymore.
So, I understand how to wire them up for the keypress. That should be no different than a normal control panel button. Is there someone who has done this that could give me some guidance on the lighting end of this? I just don’t understand the placement of the resistors.
Thanks.
