  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hi there! I'm trying to power these lights - but I can't easily identify them. They were inside what was apparently originally an old Phoenix cabinet, that was gutted/converted to an Ameridarts (yeah, not one that's really sought after) when I bought it for my Mame cabinet project. My Ameridarts manual says they should be #44 bulbs connected to -5v DC but these don't really look like my searches for a #44. They were disconnected from the supply/harness/rat's nest when I got it.

Would these be safe to run off of a 5v or 12v (if applicable) line on a molex plug from my pc power supply? Or would I save trouble just buying some led's and mounting them? If so, any recommendations?

Looks like a bayonette bulb socket. You can run 44 or 47 off +5v.

Ahah, that would do it! It didn't occur to me these could just be the socket and not the lamp itself - looks like they harvested the bulbs or meant to replace them and left them empty I guess. I'll track down some #44's.

Thanks behrmr!
