Hello All,
After completion of my grand prize Bowler it seems I have caught the bug.
I purchased a Bally's Air Aces and could use some information on set up.
It came with bright LED lamps and I would like to change back to the original to someone know that number in the lamp I should purchase? Also can someone recommend the playfield angle that this machine is supposed to be at or one that will work better?

Thanks in advance,
Mully

#47 bulbs, the machines take a lot so order accordingly and then add some more. Try a 5.5-degree angle.

The original lamps are #44 bayonet base miniature lamps.
47s will work, but they are not quite as bright as 44s. 44s burn a little hotter, so some of us prefer to use 47s behind the backglass because they are cooler. "Air Aces" is one of those Bally games which always seems to have a perfect backglass. If you're not leaving the game turned on for hours at a time, and the room is not cold, you should be OK with 44s, and they'll make the glass shine with the intended brightness.

Hey gang,
How do I properly set the play field angle to 5.5° as suggested above? I have a digital level.

Raise or lower the back leg levelers until you reach the desired pitch.
