Title: Converting Black Hole Lower Lamps to 6 volts
Post by: pinnies4me on May 24, 2010, 07:31:02 PM

Here's a mod by Steve Charland (notable Gottlieb enthusiast) to convert the lower illumination from the awkward 24 volt #313 lamps to the common #44/47 lamps. Super easy, I'm doing it  to my game tonight as it regularly blows the #313's anyway.

I changed my Haunted House when i restored it, followed the guide on Clays site, its plenty bright enough with the 44/47s installed.

Been a while since I read Clay's sys80 guide - so I'll keep that in mind when I start mine  ^^^
