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'

Justin:
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.

crashdmj:
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?
