Does anyone know the type and voltage of the bulbs that go in a bb deck?

.....................  and voltage is 6 volts.  Can be replaced with pinball LED bulbs but have to trim them at the bottom otherwise they are too tall and prevent the buttons from being fully depressed.

ok - that's my main question -   which LED bulbs to use - I love LOVE the crisp clean white light they give off.

They make the machine look like new

Yes, they are brighter than the ones I got from MCM or Happ.   6 volts isn't much so they light up pretty good.  Not as bright as the 12 volts in the I games and S2000 though but still pretty bright.  Also, no hot to the touch buttons too.  Like I said, you will have to trim the bottom of the plastic to make them fit better though.


Here is a photo of what it looks like.

Get the W1 LEDs.  I sent the owner a message and he said the W1's are brighter and whiter than the W2's.

Absolutely spectacular!     What a difference.  Thanks for the link -   It took a whopping WEEK before I got them after they SHIPPED but it was well worth the wait.  It should have taken only one day.

They're a really small business and I've read previous complaints (from the pinball community) about slow turn-around, but the other hand their prices are really fair, so if you're not in a rush to get them, they're good option.

They look great in your game, jdk.

Your 100% right - these bulbs were $1.00 each -
I went to several other places and they were no less than
$3.00 each. 

Although I'm impatient - it was well with the wait.
