    Default Need help with front bulb type

    Hi guys I have just got a King Pulser machine to add to my sinbad and king camel .
    Its not as good for game play but it was for little money the blub was gone on the front and I opened the glass to find it was gone yes relly gone !! No blub !!
    So I opened the King camel to see if I could use its blub to test out on my new machine only to find the king camel has 2 blubs ( long thin ones ) the King Pulsar looks like one long fatter blub .. I have not got a clue what type blub it takes the connections on each side to where to blubs go have writing saying NZO111 ...ANY IDEAS GUYS??? THANKS ...LIAM.

    Does it look like 2 pins per end? Measure the distance between the holders and see if you can find one that long at the hardware store, but a larger diameter than the thin ones. The removable type all run on the same voltage, so don't worry about getting the wrong thing. The fluorescent light transformer in the machine takes care of that. The diameter is expressed in the T number - T meaning tube and a number which is the diameter of the bulb in 1/8ths of an inch - T8 being being 1" in diameter

    Give us a full picture of where the bulb fits showing the two connections and remeasure from one of the inside mating surfaces to the other. If it's 13 inches it is a FL 10 D. (F10T8/CW) is what I use. If it is 11 1/4 inch it is a T8. (F8T5/CW) is what I use

    In the Pic's you can see the difference.

    My Tomcat which is an older machine uses the FL 10 D which you can see in the Pic is in need of replacing by the burn track on the right side.

    Link to a T8 Bulb. : F8T5/CW - Bulb Direct

    Link to a FL 10 D Bulb. : F10T8/CW - Bulb Direct

    Eiko is the Brand I purchase from them.

    If you can not locate a bulb there PM me an let me know which one and I will send it to you.
