Title: Lamps for DBV-145 Bill Acceptor Post by: dave91169 on October 22, 2012, 03:05:15 PM I have been working on a Bally Game Maker with a JCM DBV-145 bill acceptor in it. Most everything is working - finally - but the solder-in lamps in the bill acceptor bezel are burned out. There is one on the bottom circuit board with a red cover on it - it appears to be good. However, the others read open. I read about 3.3 volts across the lamp connections.
Does anyone know where I can get replacement lamps for this creature? Or - - if there are LED replacement items that can be retrofitted? Thanks for any help!!

All Electronics has a good price on the 5V lamps. Title: Re: Lamps for DBV-145 Bill Acceptor Post by: dave91169 on November 14, 2012, 12:24:42 PM Thanks for the response.
I found a couple of packages of 6-volt wire-base lamps in our "miscellaneous lamps" bin - they were marketed by Philmore. The lamps were not fun to change, due to the size of the circuit boards and the size of the solder pads, but I got them in there. Acceptor certainly looks better when it lights up like it should.
