i want to add 2 bulbs to my coin door what do i buy ?
« on: July 18, 2008, 01:12:52 am »
I'm just waiting for my custom control panel and finishing up all the small stuff. Since I tore all the guts out of this cabinet there is only a power strip to power things like the monitor and computer/lights. So my question is how do I add working lamps in the coin doors ? the setup has all the stock parts behind the $.25 logos including the mechs, but I do not know how to add power to them to get them to turn on while the machine is on for that arcade look. Plus I want it to match my other 2 dedicated Cabs.

if they are wedge style bulbs you can get those at most auto parts stores as they are also used in dash board and instrument panels.  Plus you can get them as leds.
