Bally 1000 series (and probably others) bulb question
« on: December 12, 2022, 10:06:24 PM »
My sister has a Bally 1996 (5 coin multiplyer) machine and a couple bulbs are out on the coin indicator lights. I want to replace them, they are already LEDs but have no markings. What are these bulbs (size, wattage, voltage, etc)?

Those look like generic 44 or 47 style LED replacements. There are a ton of those for sale on Amazon. The trick to those is finding the right color 4K-6K and how much diffusion they have. Some of them are just a spotlight and look bad behind the glass and others are diffused well and just look like a nice incadecent bulb. I have a few pinball machines that I replace the bulbs with LEDS and did a bunch of trial and error before I found the right bulbs. If they went out best bet is to replace them all so at least they look the same. Go with frosted difused bulbs, I think they work the best. If it is behind a specific color you may think about a colored bulb so it is not a spotlight. They come in a variety of colors and sometimes white is not the best choice.

What is the difference between 44 or 47 are there different voltages?

Both are 6.3v but the 44s draw more amps and get hot as a firecracker.  Replace all 44s with 47s if not upgrading to LEDs.

If going with LEDs what should I be looking for?
I found some that looked like they would fit, but they had 2 contact wires on each side of the base where the original has only the 1 wire on each side.

44 and 47 bulbs have bayonet bases, they are not wedge base with wires. 555 bulbs are 6v wedge based.
