Fact - Evel Knievel and Playboy usually have some melting on the pop bump caps when using incandescent bulbs. This is likely due to the difference in heat of the 44 and 47 bulbs, one of them puts out a lot more heat than the other.

Quoted from centerflank:CLAIM : Having Inc's in your pinball machine makes you a crankier person online
Didn't RFM have a seizure warning? That did not come with LED's.
Incandescent bulbs do make you cranky - they make you want to yell "get off my lawn", take Geritol and go to dinner at 3:30 PM
RFM warning - Was likely due to the monitor.
Quoted from swampfire:If you think "LEDs suck" or "incandescents suck", you should probably drain this thread.
I think LEDs suck..
We would love to setup some plastics at varying distances from different types of bulbs(44,47,555) to see if they do in fact melt/discolor anything...
Quoted from vid1900:Remember that old plastics were made from Butyrate, but new plastics are made from more durable (and less stinky) PETG.

I always wondered why do my System 1 Gottlieb plastics kinda stink.... i always thought cause they absorbed cigarette smoke somehow and just..stunk
