I leave credits on both my Williams 550 and Bally Gamemaker in my game room and the buttons get hot at H E L L.

I would like to convert these button lights to cooler LED's ..

Does anyone have a part number for American Gaming Equipment or some distributor to get the 20-30 led bulbs (I dont know if the Bally is different from the WMS)

And every time I call and speak to a sale rep, they always ask for the part number....

So does that mean that on an IGT S+ or s2000 machine the lights are 6v lights and not 12v?  Scratch Head  I have been meaning to ask that question.  I didn't know what bulbs to buy.  I too want to replace my bulbs but thinking of using red led's for my Volcano and for my Triple Play machine and green for my 5x Pay.  Ya know, I am starting to realize I am getting poor.  bust gut laughing bust gut laughing bust gut laughing

I know the S+ bulbs are 6.something volts -- if you put a 12v LED in there you won't get anything.  I don't know what the S2000s use.

All of these links are to MCM. Their shipping charges are reasonable.


The S2000 uses 12 volt bulbs. #658

Here is the original #658
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/EIKO-658-/25-1010

Here is an LED replacement for the #658
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/25-2945



The S+ uses 6 volt bulbs, #555 or 259 for the larger bulbs, and #86 for the small bulbs.

Here is the #555
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/25-745

Here is the #86
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/25-1000

Here is the LED replacement for #555/259
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/25-3190

Here is the LED replacement for the #86

I am surprised that Happ was $1.30 per bulb and MCM was $2.49 which is what the thread started (#86).

But with Happ you'll have to buy a minimum of 20 for $26, and then they'll charge you the mystery surprise of $15-$25 to ship them
With MCM you can buy just one if you really want to, and they will let you know the shipping before checking out.

I'll take MCM unless I really need at least 20. Then Happ might be the better deal for that particular product. But remember that you don't know what the SH "surprise" is going to be until the package arrives.  hissy fit

Don't forget that some LED's are polarity sensitive. Might have a red stripe on the side. If they don't work on the first try just flip around.

Thanks for the information and and the links.  Now I know what bulbs to buy when it's time to buy them.  It's still going to take a little while before I get them cause I am still doing my game room. And speaking of game rooms, this doesn't have anything to do with slot machines but does anyone know if casino carpet is available?  I'd love to have some of that for my game room.

I would imagine used casino carpets would smell like smoke...phew!
I'm sure any good local carpet store would be able to get what you'd need...?

I learned that the hard way when putting the LED tail lights on the Mustang and the truck.  Now I also lightly put the light in to see if it works before pushing it in place.  If not I flip it over and that normally makes it work.

I'd love to see what they look like.  I am so close to buying them, myself, but just haven't done it yet.  I so want to do it cause I have the new buttons and switches installed already.  I think I would do colored lights though. 

Hokiehog did you do any colors or just white?

Pictures really dont show the difference.  It goes from a yellow tinted glow to a blueish white tinted glow...

Huge difference in heat... DO IT if you leave credits on your machines or if you dont like the wasted energy for the old bulbs.

I did just white, but goodness.. I didnt even think about other colors... White is gorgeous.  Everyone over last night said what a huge difference the cooler led's made... We have family over on Saturday nights for game night, so it's a GREAT investment for $40 for my Bally and Williams machines.

HOLY MOLY!!!!!  yummy I was in the middle of changing buttons and switches when this email came in but had to stop and take a look.  What an amazing difference and it's been decided that we are finally going to get them and put them in.  applause I would prefer color (just to personalize my machines)  yes but even white will do if I have to.  All I can say is bravo for the LED's.   applause

BTW - We bought two fluorescent black lights to try in the machines and I have to say that I am not impressed. no I liked the idea that they weren't so bright but blue just doesn't cut it, at least in the Crystal 7's machine.  I want to try them in the Double Diamond machine and will take a pic and post in the other thread to get your guys' opinion and so others can see what it looks like just in case someone thought of the same thing. arrow

Ashyron, take a pic of it in the C7's too! With that clear, white and pastel graphics, I would think it would be pretty nice. Now are you talking about the glass lights or the reel light?

Now I did not see a direct replacement led for the #658 at Happ. I assume a cluster 12v shpould work for the large buttons and a single 12v for the small ones? Seems like they have alot of those on clearance right now and colored ones as well. I'm planning a walk-in to Happ before the show. Thy're supposed to be getting those packs of tickets on the 31st. If I get a confirmation, I will send the midwest people an email to pick some up for the show & meet, that way no S&H!
