I think they were mostly 12v, some 6v that were used.

I think they're technically 14v lamps, but just always plugged into a 12v source.  Same idea tho...

Ah, thanks for the voltage.  But,  I was really looking for the size/number that would fit into the lamp bases currently in my coindoor.  I have bases but no lamps installed.  I forgot to look last night but, maybe the lamp base number is printed on the base itself.

I'm kinda curious of that, myself.  I can get 5MM LEDs, but I'm thinking those are a bit small.  Pity...

The doors on my games video and pinball use 44 or 47 for bayonette style sockects (same size 44s burn brighter but get hotter)  

The Wedge type bulbs are 555

These may all be available at radio shack. I know the 47 bulbs are. Not sure about the 555 though.

If you can't find what you need at radio shack you can definetly get any of these from a local arcade parts distributor like betson or maybe a local operator. Look in your phone book.
