    I've got one that I haven't done anything with yet. It's in pretty good shape...the pins could use a good shining. It is sitting in a corner along with my other projects right now. I'll try to get some pictures of it posted.

    I haven't figured out if I'm going to keep it or not. If I decide to sell it (probably won't make that decision anytime soon), I'll be sure to run it by you guys first.
    I'm not addicted to Pachinkos. I can quit at any time. Did I tell you about the three machines that I have on the way?

    what you need are likely the "grain of wheat bulbs". you need to know the proper specs of the bulbs you're replacing though as they can get hot enough to melt plastic or they can be too dim to be of use.

    Thanks for the help , I’m going to try them , there’s no markings on the bulbs but I believe the transformer is 24 volts

    the transfromer is 24v but that gets stepped down to whatever voltage the bulbs need. look in the transformer or the circuit board itself and it may say what voltage is required.
    these machines were made in the 70's and early 80's. i've had several jan balls over the years and i think they were early 80's models. sometimes there's a date code stamped inside the frame in the showa year format.
