Calling all PowerRoulette owners/experts

Heeeeeelp!

Okay, that may have been an overreaction. How about this?:


I'm getting down to business with my PowerRoulette restoration. I'm reaaaally looking forward to this one.

I have a bulb out on the roulette wheel. They are teeny, tiny incandescent bulbs with 2 minute, fragile leads that are cleverly attached to their bases with a rubber sleeves. They have no markings.

Can someone lead me to what the proper replacement is, and hopefully where to get them?

Thanks!

Those are the same bulbs and sockets used in arepachis and other machines. A company by the name of Eiko makes them and there are others. Do a google search for 2187 and/or 2182 lamps. These are the ones used in most of my machines. They're also generically called grain of wheat bulbs.

be carefull with thouse "rubber sleeves" there hard to find replacements for...

Thanks!

These 2 bulbs are rated at 14V and 28V. Is there a preference?

Try and get ones that are closest to the voltage of your machine. There are many types bulbs of bulbs of that size with differing specs.
I bought a few in different voltages and the ones I mentioned earlier are what worked best in my machines.

Well, good news, at least for now. The bulb suddenly decided to work. Magic.

The machine needs quite a bit of cleaning, and I need to figure out why it won't pay out (Model C is new to me), then it's party time.

Anyone know if the little butterfly stickers on the tulips are being reproduced by anyone?

My roulette was and is my only C model but like other machines, the mechanics are straightforward. On mine the small post that the lever pivots on ( behind the clear /white plastic cover on the back of the machine) was broken thus no payouts. It was a quick fix though. Just pull that down and the large plastic cover on the left rear to expose the works and inspect everything.
I figure there has to be some simplified software as opposed to a full on draw type program that let's you scan in an image, modify if necessary, and print it out. I've got plenty of stickers that could use replacement in various machines.

I need to figure out an easy way to make stickers. My other "hobby" requires the replacement of stickers as well. I'll have to look into it.

My wife uses something for her scrapbooking called a xyron machine. I haven't tried it out yet on my machines, but I'm hoping if I talk real nice she'll let me try it out...
