Hi All wave

Total newbie here, one of the "red" outer lights is out on the Free spin wheel and the entire center area (5-10-15-25) area is also dark, assuming it too should be lit up.
I got the machine this way.  I've got some bulbs en route and once they arrive, um, now what, lol.   Anyone familiar with step by step how to for a non DIY newbie to follow?   Scratch Head

 I love the machine, it's my first and would like to restore it to what it's supposed to look like.  Appreciate any assistance...thanks in advance.

Hello,
You might get a hold of Rudys Deals. They may have your red lights.
They do have some Sigma parts.....

 Hopefully I did this correctly...2 pics.  First should be the top (Free & Easy Spin wheel) that needs bulbs (one "red" is out and the entire center is dark.....I don't believe the bulbs are "red" though but what do I know)
Second is full shot of machine, apologize for the darkness.

The outer part of the wheel uses a square LED...I do have those...As far as the center light, they are little 12v bulbs in a little socket...Have you removed the upper plexi to see what is behind yet?...You might need both the bulb and socket or all your bulbs are burned out...Possibly the drived board is gone or bad...Take a look and get back to me...I do have the entire board, but do not have anyway to test them anymore...The last one I had, I converted the little bulbs to LED and it looked awesome and they should not burn out...

Hi back

Oohh. this is gonna be more complicated than I thought...yes, removed the plexi and yes the outer bulb that's blown apparently is square.  All the center lites are out, only one outer ring red lite is out. I am expecting the center bulbs anyday now (no clue after they arrive what to do).  Is replacing the bulbs an easy fix?  I assume I will have to disconnect the cable to remove the panel but after there, no idea. Supposedly the ones I'm expecting though are 14v.....

Hey Mr Dinoman!
What kind of leds did use to replace the clear bulbs?
I thought of trying that myself !
Thanks,
Jim.

here is a link that should work

http://www.ebay.com/itm/100-pcs-5mm-Blue-Round-LED-Lamps-Bulbs-6000mcd-100X-Resistors-for-DC12V-/261100682758?pt=US_Lighting_Parts_and_Accessories&hash=item3ccad03e06

...It has been awhile since I did it, but here is what I remember doing...hot glue the LED in place of the socket...Solder one side of the resistor to the anode of the LED and solder the other side to the +12vdc side of the socket
Connect the cathode of the LED to the switched side of the socket...(The cathode is commonly the shorter lead and located nearest any flat side of the LED.)
Good luck...

Those should work depending on the value of the resistors...I believe they should be 830 ohms or so....
