I'm a new pin owner too, you're not alone! At least we can always come here to Pinside to read and learn from those with much more experience. BTW, after some advice, I bought a couple dozen #47 bulbs for my playfield to keep on hand just a couple of days after registering on the forum. Now, the next question is, how the heck do I install them? LOL.

Of course, this begs the question: How many pinball noobs does it take to change a lightbulb?

FWIW, I also learned that #47 is a great replacement for the #44 bulb, less heat and power drain. Doesn't solve the left/right lane drain, or the SDTM, though! That I've learned the hard way, and didn't need feedback here to learn that lesson.

Great advice! As I posted before, I have two dozen #47 bulbs on hand, just in case. Thanks, Pinsides!
