SS LEDs

[Kenny Taylor]

A wee help needed. Doing some work on my SS. It was always partially LED'd. However I got the remainder LED's in a bag. They are different to what is already in as they are different colours casings. Are these comet LEDs and what do the colours mean?

Note I have LED'd machines before but not with these types..

Pinball Center!

I'm having a thick moment. The coloured casing of the LED refers to the cable colour possibly. I dunno the others on the machine don't have this and I usually just buy the std type..

Replaced the broken kicker which was the job I was supposed to do first View attachment 44521

The coloured casings usually refer to the led colour, but some aren't so obvious like the black looking ones. Best thing is to try them in a socket and see.

Top Tip: don't bother with yellow LEDs, pointless. Use white LEDs behind yellow or even amber inserts.

Darn they are coloured..

 

[Kenny Taylor]

Sorry didn't see the last response. Thanks for the advise. Ok so yellow and amber inserts use white LED's and the rest use the colour..

 

[Monkeyboypaul]

and the rest use the colour..

Entirely your call - I'm leaning towards just using whites everywhere now, except maybe under red inserts (then I use red or white).

I thought you liked this game with incandescents for the effects on SS Kenny?

Don't bother Kenny. Give them to me and save yourself hassle and time.

Left the incandescents on the claw flashers. I do think some games suit incandescent and others LED. SS was partly done so needed completed..

Ha ha. Still two of the lab bumper flashers not working. But we know that needs a bit of work on the board. Didn't get my coffin mod to light up with resoldering the wire. Will have another look tomorrow..

Boogie men slingshots, leave with white LED's or change to green incandescents. Don't have green LED's. Using green incandescents on the bottom GI..?
