    I have three playfield insert lights on my EM that run on 25v instead of 6v, and the one that is on all the time burns out pretty quickly. I've been putting 44's and 47's in there. I also have 755's but I haven't tried them yet. What bulbs should I be purchasing for these sockets?

    #44 and #47 are 6 volt bulbs. 755 are 6 volts too.

    Here is a chart, look into the 28 volt ones.

    There is probably a resistor in that circuit to drop voltage to use #44 bulbs. Might want to check that the resistor is still there and still within spec.

    You need some #313 bulbs.

    Not a Bingo is it? I seem to remember a Bally Silver Sails bingo that I worked on a few years back used 20v odd bulbs in some sockets? We need to know what machine you have!
