What type globes /size go on the platyfied to light up "Globe". I currently have two bad bulbs and must have ordered wrong, I'm definitely new and have done research, but a bit overwhelming as this is my first machine.

The one on the left is the old bulb, and the one on the right is replacement and doesn't work, not surprised. I am not wanting LED, what model of light do I need to order to do the underside of play field? Most of them look hold and barely holding on. Want to swap out with original style. Any help greatly appreciated!

In the end, on the bottom playfield what kinds of bulbs do I need. See pictures

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can use either #47 or #44 incandescent bulbs. Originally they were #44, but many people replace them with #47 because they run cooler and less strain on your power supply and wiring connectors.

The game originally would have had #44 incandescent bulbs.

Here is a link to a ten pack of #44 and yes #47 will work as well. Either is also available in 100 packs for around $10.

Can I purchase online only OR so big box, or lighting stores might sell? I am located in North Georgia.

If online only, who has the quickest service?

Thank you for you help.

Learning how to use this forum and just killed the one poster response giving me options. Instead of thank you, I drained you. My apologies. If you can repost?

If you're in a hurry, check your local auto parts store. Some carry #44 or #47 bulbs, but be warned, they will cost more than from a pinball supplier. If you can wait a few days, order online from The Pinball Resource, Marco Specialties, or Pinball Life....to name a few. Or Google #44 bulb and you will find many places that sell them, including Amazon. Order a box or two containing 10 bulbs. Price for the box is around $1.50. You will use them as replacing burned out bulbs is routine maintenance.

Thank you for all the advice. I ordered lights from Marco Specialties.

I recommend switching the GI bulbs, especially in the backbox, to LEDs. They run cooler and put less strain on the rectifier board. Comet pinball is my goto place for LED replacement bulbs.
