    Default Best find to find light bulbs and base

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to the board and need to replace a few of the light bulbs on this number board. I was able to take off a couple of the bulbs bulbs. Once off, it's a tiny bulb with two wire extending through a small base. The bases are very fragile and need to be replaced as well. Does anyone know where to find them? Also, do I need to worry about the amp/voltage of the bulb? The pachinko machine does connect to a 120v standard socket. I assume it has an internal transformer? Again, I would be grateful for any assistance provided? IMG_2882.jpg

    Hello and welcome. More pics please. We love pictures.

    Might this be an Arrange Ball?

    Voltage will matter, check the posts on a lit one. Chances are a 2176 or 2185 depending on voltage.

    WELCOME!!!


    If this is for an arrange ball I can move your question to that section where it might get seen by more arrange ball owners!!

    If you're not sure what you have, just post a pic!!

    I found the bulbs for my arrangeball on amazon... tho those were generic 14v bayonet mini lamps. Maybe something more like these "norman lamps" ??? https://www.amazon.com/Norman-Lamps-...346112&sr=8-31 . would need to see a side view of one outside of its base to know for sure. Maybe take a pic next to a ruler...?

    For the broken bases, probably going to have to improvise...dig around at a Hobby Lobby for teensy cardboard tubes?
    Woof!

    If you look at arrangeball pictures on the site you will notice that you are missing the placard that covers the numbered pockets. You might see if moparformances has one for sale or can make you one. It is only a cosmetic fix but a nice one.

    Would not use cardboard! Moparformances has the bulb holders you need.
