Hi All

This is likely an obvious question to the experts, but are the bayonet 6.3 volt bulbs from the Williams 1979 to 1982 pinball games always #44 and #47? Some website literature appears to have the #555 mentioned, yet this seems to always be wedge style. The game bulbs I'm looking to upgrade to LED are for Flash and Alien Poker (playfield and backglass) in a bayonet style. I'm about to place an order to replace all these bulbs and I don't want to get the wrong ones.

Thanks in advance for any responses and clarification.

With games that old, it's possible that someone has replaced some bulb sockets along the way.
Best to look at them and see what's really there before ordering. Order a few extra just in case.

Hi RCA1

Thanks for the response and advice. You're right it that my first order of bulbs was suppose to be 50 clear and 50 frosted LEDS, but upon arrival the color was more a green, rather that a cool white and were not bright enough.

#44 & #47 are both bayonet base, 555 is a wedge base.
