Pinball Lights and Wax - What To Buy?
« on: March 05, 2008, 11:27:18 am »
I recently purchased a Lost World pin and I need to replace most of the lights.  Can anyone recommend a brand and / or supplier?

Also, any suggestions on playfield wax?

Novus # 2 polish for the playfield. Use #47 or #44 miniature lamps in the machine.

Pinball Life has excellent prices for bulbs.

Thanks Ken.  The Novus 2 is listed as "Fine Scratch Remover".  This is actually the polish, correct?

Pinballjim - I bought a 1997 Jurassic Park The Lost World.  It is not the 70's Lost World.  The playfield is in real good shape, other than being very dirty.  I don't think this machine has ever been cleaned or shopped.

That is correct.

I use Novus 2 followed by Turtle Wax paste.

In the home, I say use #47 bulbs.  They are a little dimmer but a whole lot less stressful on the plastics and the GI circuit.

Gross!  But once you start cleaning it up, it'll surprise you how much it'll shine.

I personally like Wildcat cleaning products.
