Thanks @DougJoseph. So, @jono035 shared comprehensive helpful desoldering and resoldering tips, after I shared how much time I burned switching things around 
Completly unrequired… Was originally planning to orientate JackPot controller board to be visible through polycarbonate window in the front strut. But then Jamie came up with light tube approach, and srcnet suggested a visual of the CNC. The combination of numerous ideas from folks led me to…
Ultimately the Jackpot desoldering/soldering I did wasn’t needed, but does look nice from the top. Am going to baselessly rationalize that I get far superior signal strength to help me feel better about the time burned messing with the board.
