LEDs in a System 6

[HomerRamone]

following on from (and as not to hijack the thread Elektra thread) I gather you need an adapter to use LED bulbs in the likes of Elektra. So what if the System 6 era stuff - EG Gorgar.

Would you need to use specific anti flicker LEDs

Big discussion on LEDifying Gorgar on pinside, looks as though it's just plug n play with the exception of cutting a single resistor (eek)

The adapter is 1 solution to use LEDs in classic Bally feature lamps (GI not affected) the issue being the low current draw of LEDs vs the original incandescent. It is all well described and photographed here;

Elektra also has the -52 Aux lamp driver board mounted on the inside of the backbox door which needs attending to also; new Alltek or similar Aux board, -52 adapters or resistors across all lamps.

Back to System 6 - I like classic Ballys

I fitted those led adapters to my Xenon, worked a treat
