    WCS Manual.png
    #1 9 years ago

    Forgive my ignorance - I don't know how to look at a manual and count the total quantity of bulbs and flashers needed for a shop job. For example, the pinballbulbs.com WCS kit notes it doesn't contain flashers. I can't tell by looking at game manual how many are used and what bulb type they are.

    You have the game ? Look inside. Under playfield, above, and behind backglass. Look for bigger bulbs like #89 or #906.

    Go to Tests - Flashers - run through it and count how many you see.

    Mine is folded up or I'd count for you to confirm. However, I'm under the impression the manual is an easy way. Here is page #2 of the WCS manual from ipdb.org:

    The last two columns are "Playfield" and "Backbox" which (I believe) note if the bulbs are located on the playfield or in the backbox. I believe you can just count up the number listed for a total of:

    14 x #906 Flasher
    7 x #89 Flasher

    You'd have to decide if you wanted to color match or go with warm/cool white. I think cool white would be fine (the domes are already colored) if you're unsure.
