555 Light Bulbs
« on: January 27, 2005, 08:05:17 pm »
I need 2-4 555 light bulbs for my coin mechs.  I have searched the internet, and Happ sells them, but 25.00 minimum order puts a damper on the 21 cents per bulb price.  Does anyone have a couple extras I could buy, or maybe a place on the net where I could secure such a thing for a decent price?

Thanks,

Chris

well if you could find someone who was ordering from happs, you might be able to get them to order them with their stuff and then have them shipped to you at a slightly inflated rate, but you'd have to change your title so that people would know what you wanted.  thats the hard way...the easy way would be to find them elsewhere...so keep looking.  also, you could write happs and see if any other lights work in the coin doors other than those...

Call a local pinball place..

Should be real cheap.

I dunno if this place has a minimum order, but I've bought from them before.

Can not be "free", but wanted to let you know that I get them from a place called "Lightbulbs Unlimited" near me.   There are many locations in South Florida so it is no problem to get them here at as reasonable price.

Maybe you can look into a similiar business near you which just sells lightbulbs.....
