    Default have any of you...

    Just wondering, If any of you have just completely rewired your light system or just made a custom one for your vintage? looking over mine, the wires are a little corroded and black, and don't always make good contact. so i thought about running new wires with a 12volt systems, but while I'm at it, add a few extra lights that also light up when you get payout. also, has anyone used 12v bright led lights for anything? I have some extra and have done all sorts of wiring projects for cars and such, and thought it'd be cool to wore something up. if I get started i will take pics for sure to keep you all updated

    There have been several members who have installed LED's in vintage machines. One such thread is here: http://www.pachitalk.com/forums/vint...ification.html (near the end)

    I have completely rewired several vintage machines that had all wiring removed before I bought them. It's pretty easy to do when you have a working machine as a guide. I convert all of mine to 9 volt battery and use 7.5 volt bulbs from Radio Shack.

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
