Bulbs, Backbox WMS 95 Flaher Globes ??
« on: November 06, 2011, 05:49:23 PM »
Hi,
My WPC 95 backbox has some black holders which i suspect are meant for flashers or blinking globes, someone put 555 in there and i reakon that is not correct.
Should be 545 ???
Where can you get these or is there a replacement part for it,

Cheers

545 globes were only used in Twilight Zone, Addams Family and No Good Gofers.

A quick google search suggests that they are no longer being made and becoming hard to find.

Some people converting to 455 holders/globes instead.

Good Luck.

You can always try leds in my opinion a great idea in the back box to reduce heat

The black sockets are 906 flashers

The flashers mentioned on TAF are 455 6.3 V flashers - bayonet style.

If they are supposed to be 545s you can do this mod instead of using LEDs:

Yeah, did that mod to my TZ, but i,m talking about WPC95 Machines. The ones with the plastic surround around the backglass.I imagine it would be pretty hard to mount the same way as you describe,
Thanks anyways

I  didn't think  WPC -95 used 545's   your manual should have a list of globes used in your game
white  click holders are normally 555
black click holders are normally 906's

The NGG manual lists both 555 and 545 in the GI section.

Addams Family used 455 blinkers, not 545.

Dirty Harry also used 545s.
