    Hey guys -
    Potentially stupid question, but was wondering the comparitive differences between early SS controled lamps (i.e. Stern, Bally's 5.4v) with WPC (-S, -95) lamp matrix.

    Since they all use #555, #44, #47 bulbs, then all LED bulbs out there (Comet, CT, etc) should work without issue, correct?

    that would be incorrect, you'll get ghosting on older SS games, even some ghosting on wpc.

    Thanks, I should have been more clear -

    Wasn't referring to ghosting, but voltage/current.
