    Default Babel Reel Bulbs Need Replacing

    I just purchased a Babel slot machine. It appears that the left reel has one or more bulbs that need replacing. First, does anyone know how many bulbs there are associated with each reel? What type bulb does it take? Anyone have any experience taking the reels out to get to the bulbs? Thanks for the help.

    Three bulbs per reel. #400 is the type. You can get a box from any of the vendors for pretty cheap. The bulbs on the left reel are the easiest to remove. Twist out a light bulb socket from the inside of the front door for practice, and you'll get the idea of what you need to do. Just feel inside the left reel, and you'll feel those same sockets. No need to remove the reels for the left.

    Thanks for the help. My bulbs arrived today and I replaced 3 burned out ones. If my hand was just a little smaller it would have been easier to get behind that first reel, but I did it.

    Welcome to PachiTalk! If you ever need to replace the other reel lights the process is fairly easy, so just post again.
