This is my first foray into owning a machine.
Recently bought a pretty original Lectronamo (1978 Stern) and was looking at changing out to LED lights.
Is it as simple as buying nee bulbs or is it much more involved than i think. May be a dumb question... But the machine is older than me. I attached a set of bulbs i was eyeing on Amazon.

Quoted from zacaj:

Personally I'd recommend not changing the controlled lights, and getting a set of comet 2smd frosted warm white for the GI

Thats what i did. Worked well!
Thanks!

Quoted from RCA1:

This is good info.
My opinion for solving the controlled lamp flicker is that the add on boards are reasonably priced and easy.

As noted above, general illumination lights are fine with LED, no changes needed.
OP, if you didn't pick up on it, Stern and Bally games of that era use identical electronics.

Those are pretty cheap!
Easy to install you say... Come with instructions... Or will I be back here?
