    Check your schematic. Often times I have seen the flasher bulb notation there - but not always..

    The LED I tried flashed too fast, though I haven't looked recently at whats currently available.
    The slow blink of an incandescent in a dark room is hard to beat whether you're playing or partying.
    I did try to use them to convey motion on my Klondike, accentuating(or trying to) the movement of the horses' reaction to the bear and t.

    That is why I don't like LED's in EM pins. They lack the warmth & fade in / fade out of incandescent bulbs. They blink on & off too fast -just don't look right in a vintage pin..
