    actually the led idea sounds good to me for mine. jeff

    for those following this, I found a minor repair manual on the net. it shows many of the various light bulbs used.
    but, shows 3 different ones all 3 listed as a t-5 !!! Also shows 2 others ,both listed as a " T-A" bulb. so now I know how I "screwed up in helping".
    But , as I said ,many of these types can be bought at the local auto parts stores, I bought 2 different types recently.
    just remember to bring the burnt bulb with you !!!

    I have replaced most of my pinball playfield lamps from 44's or 47's on several pinball machines and the effect is terrific. The games seem to pop now. You have to make sure that the diode side is in proper polarity or they do not light on the wedge type lamps.

    these are some of the typical older light bulbs for the pachislos.
    mentions the type , ect. But as seen many different ones list as the same "t" code.

    after farting around ... on the "T-5 " bulb (1st one with the white holder, which I bought the the auto parts store, with a red holder) , I switched out just the actual glass bulb from the holder & found that actual glass bulb from X-MAS lights fits in it & DOES work . a bit brighter than the original. but has possibilities if one wishes to switch them out, for bulbs of a different color. Might be cool for the back lit reels to pop up in all blue , red, green , orange, or ect , depending on the machine. also depends on how much light comes through or around the reels when lite.
    and finding a sting of x-mas lights is easy right now & super cheap at 2d hand stores ! just yank out the bulbs now for a fast fix in any burned out later.
    I know, a ghetto cheap idea... still an idea.
