LED T5 bulbs for pachislo?

[subdude]

Are you sure they are T5??
Post a picture with a couple of the bulbs laying down next to a quarter for exact size reference.
That will be a big help

Are you sure these bulbs on Ebay will not work? : Wedge Bulbs for Pachislo Skill Stop Slot Machine - eBay (item 130471358743 end time Mar-04-11 07:55:52 PST)
The vast majority of pachislos use T10 wedge base 24V - 28V bulbs @ 3 Watts
nope they are exactly like the ones in the original LED auction except with an incandescent bulb where the LED is.

Here are some T5 24V bulbs but they are not cheap.
Halogen Zenon T5 Wedge Base Light Bulb
Not the same

You will not be happy with LEDs. I have tried a lot of things and they are not satisfying at all.
There are LEDs that are close to the incandescent lighting effect but they do not spread the light 360 degrees like regular bulbs.
I have found an excellent LED diffusing material that can be used but it costs about $50 per bulb presently.
I don't think that is worth it!!

Thats what I was afraid of. I will post a picture tomorrow.

Since you stated that the bulbs look like the ones you posted before
it sounds as if you have removed the bulbs from your machine and may not realize
that the bulbs have to then be pulled out of the black plastic base for replacement.
The base is reuseable! I have known of a couple of people who have accidentally discarded
both bulb and base thinking they were a single unit.
Just wiggle them from side to side gently till they come out!
could this be the case?

OH, your links to the bulb pictures don't seem to work!

try clicking the links for some reason they didn't show. the bulbs have 2 small wire leads going thru the sockets like christmas light bulbs. the bulbs are not removable I tried. I have the "wedge" bulbs you are referring to these bulbs are smaller approx 7/8" long.
