Title: 6 volt bulbs
Post by: eclipso on April 28, 2013, 09:53:37 am

So I need to replace the bulbs in my KI coin door so I opened up the book and found they are 5.9v bulbs with .6 amps however when I go to find some on e-bay there are alot of choices. I think these might work but would like to make sure and be safe then sorry.

that was probably originally an 1850 bulb. (5v, 90ma) but anything in the 6 volt range should work okay...#755 etc.

heck, search ebay for some 5 or 6 volt LED bulbs with a "bayonet" style base also known as a "BA9S" size base and be done with it forever.

the #63 you've chosen will probably work alright. depending on the current going out to them from the harness they might be a tiny bit dimmer than the original. not enough that you'd notice. but it's better than burned out right?
