Lights for a 'vintage' pachinko?

[pachinkojohn]

I've got one light out on my awesomely fun Nishigin 'Rhapsody' that I bought from Logicprobe (thanks Logic!). It's one of the flashing lights surrounding the playing field, and there are quite a few of them in different areas, all seem to use the same mount. It's a white holder with a small longish pea/Christmas tree size light bulb about 1/2" long, and the whole assembly about one inch long. The holder is attached to a small circuit board with several other lights. I haven't taken the cover off yet as there don't seem to be any screws on initial observation, but it does look like a plug-in bulb. (fingers crossed)

Since this is a 'newer' machine than the old flipper styles that could get by with only a flashlight bulb, I was wondering if anyone here had tried to replace any bulbs like this, or may have a dead machine that possibly similar lights bulbs could be pulled out of, or know of a source of light bulbs.

You can't really tell it's out unless you look hard, but I'd like to restore this machine as much as possible.

Thanks for any info!!

Whoops, sorry, this should have gone over to mod and tech issues.

My bad.

Thanks for the link Arby. Unfortunately no they aren't the same, these have bases already attached. The base has two tiny holes in it that slide over two pins sticking out of the circuit board bent in an sideways 'L' shape
____ < - bulb slides over these two pins

I just found this link, they evidently still make the same bulb/socket for new machines, it's the bulbs all around the sides on the small circuit boards.

So maybe one of the vendors might have some. I'll check there next, then try to find someone with a dead machine that I could buy the boards and bulbs from.

Thanks!

Thanks again Arby, but they don't have bulbs either. (?) Maybe they just don't want the hassle of stocking stuff. Though one would think someone would have a light go out in warranty!

I've got more e-mails in to other vendors, let's see what happens.

If anyone has a dead machine that has these types of lights, I'll pay well for the lights, their respective circuit boards, and wires in it.
