Title: Light Bulbs for Universal?
Post by: Slots_007 on November 13, 2012, 04:00:42 AM
Well my florescent bulb above the reel glass finally bit the dust....I'm looking for a replacement bulb, anyone know what the bulb type is? Also what bulbs do the top and belly glass use? I have looked at the bulbs but the writing is long gone on the bulbs  :25-

I replaced the button bulbs, and all wedge bulbs but I have no idea what kind of bulbs the belly, reel, and top use. The machine isn't an Ultra series...I think this one has a 8800 board and the wood grain cabinet with no BV...coin-in & coin-out only.

Anyone have a machine with print still on the bulbs?

Thanks

Not knowing anything about these machines, the old manual I have says 15 watt for all three. Don't have a number but that should give you a start. Maybe sames a IGT's?

I'm pretty sure they are all t-8 style bulbs,  possibly all 15 watt,  the difference is the length,  I think Sigma and Universal used 13" long bulbs???

I have a machine in the shop, will check it out tonight,

the bulbs are 13" in length, they are 10 watt bulbs, there are two of them in the top box feature.


The machine I have is a unique machine, Its a universal  with a top box bonus feature  called a Mustang.
