I don't know for certain; but, I had asked my rep at Happ's for the specs on their LEDs and she didn't have any. I would guess since they list them as replacement for the illuminated push buttons they may not work that great for the coin door. I know I have a Happ door and added the 4 bulb wedge base leds (from SuperBrightLeds) to each coin return button and that did the trick nicely. I took some pix of them tonight - but I left my card reader at the office - so I'll post em tomorrow.
<Edit> Here's the pic. Keep in mind these are the default yellow plastic coin return buttons from Happ. But with the green 4 bulb led, it helps keep my green theme goin'

Well, I don't know about you guys, but my 1983 Centipede coin door does not use wedge base bulbs. These are cylindrical base, twist-in bulbs.
I was thinking of using the original incandescent bulbs, and somehow wire them through a transformer.
The bulbs seem to read: 6.3 V 0.25 A does this sound right?
TazMan:
Justin,
Are you talking about bayonet style bulbs?
If so, SuperBright carries those also in 6v or 12v.

Justin:
yes, these are the ones! Thanks, I will consider these.

Ok I need help Tazman, which lights do I buy from that SuperBrightLeds? It runs off the 5V from a PC powersupply so do I need anything special to do that?
