I picked up some #455 blinkers to put into El Dorado since I noticed it is listed as part of the parts list for that game.

Upon inspection, it appears that just the four sockets behind the El Dorado logo are the only place where blinkers would go?

Is that correct? And, is there another place anyone has found that is appealing e.g. behind the sun on back glass or could that cause heat/flaking
since #455 are a bit higher wattage than #44 bulb?

Quoted from schudel5:

light board was dished out around the sockets

Yes I did notice the four sockets behind the game logo were a little bigger so that was a clue where to put them. So I guess that is it.

I just saw a video online where they put a blinker bulb (or so it appears) under the playfield roll-over in the middle of the game.

Could be cool at first but might become distracting after the novelty wears off ....

Ok thanks ... I might put a blinker under the SPECIAL when lit just to check it out.

By the way, on that video above, the upper flippers have no rubbers on them ... I wonder if that is a thing,
or they are just randomly missing ... ?
