I'm working on my Pinbot and found this:

Playfield flashers are identified 2 ways, some 89 and some 1251. 89 are supposed to be 13v and 1251 28v. However the stickers says differently. Sticker near the drop down targets says 1251 28v and flashers at the top stickers says 89 28v as well !?!

See for yourself:

Now I'm confused what bulb to use really, what is currently on are 67 (equivalent to 89)

Can someone enlighten me?

So when it says 28v #89 it means to use 89 bulbs and the circuit runs at 28volts? As oppose to other flasher circuit using 89 still but running at 12 v? Like some of the back box flashers.

I never seen this sticker before that is what threw me off, kinda confusing because I would think anything running 28v should use 1251.

Yeah the game is in thousand pieces so I can't test now.

I was aware the eyes were 1251 but did not know there were some else were on the playfield as well ( near the drop-down targets) unless the sticker was misplaced?

And then, why is there a sticker that states 28v #89? Does not make sense to me...

I got 1251 in stock.

Quoted from LTG:

28v should blow up your #89's quite nicely.
LTG : )

Again, there was #67 throughout and doing fine so I guess it's not running at 28v. (except the eyes). These stickers are just misleading to me.

Quoted from Insane:

I had the stickers in other places as well. I just used the 1251's where the manual said, eyes in the backglass, and the eyes and associated in the playfield. I think there are 8 total bulbs that are 1251. I used LED's everyplace else.

Yeah, there are 4 on the playfield for the visor eyes. And the backglass eyes, not sure how many. I guess all the remaining flashers on the playfield are 12v #89 and I should just ignore the stickers...

Can't remember of the top of my head, but 4 bulbs in the cabinet head are 28v so definitely not #89. I can check later.
