Quoted from PghPinballRescue:Excitedly waiting on news!
We tried them out in the other thread, the colors were excellent
"simple" LEDs don't work well in 6803s, but the ones with the regulation chips (or diode pair and caps) that can be installed either way in the socket seem to work fine.
So it's possible a yopps6803 could be made, but it would require a few extra components
Quoted from PghPinballRescue:Do these have the color they are written on the board anywhere?
Quoted from barakandl:Could always cheat and take apart one of the "ghost buster" LED bulbs and see what is inside of them. I am guessing a teensy bridge rectifier and capacitor is at least part of it.
Exactly.
Pull one apart and just use the same 4 components
Quoted from splattii:As a Canadian I'd have to import these. Has anyone had them burnout? I'm going to do a scratch build and am leaning towards the old #44 sockets but see many going this route. Wondering about long term maintenance as I can't buy these locally at all
I have not seen a single one burn out yet.
If a future government in the USA sealed the border and forced your hand, you could always replace the LED chip or resistor component .
Of course, buy a few extras in each color
Quoted from punkin:Why won't it always be called ground wire? That's it's purpose....
The bare wire in that circuit is the +6v power.
The Ground is actually what is switched on and off by the logic
Seems backwards, I know, but it requires less power to function that way
