Still gotta love a Mr Gorgar vid.  You could even get away with taking one or two of the flashers out by the looks of it.

The #89 flashers on Stern machines are made in China.
Has anyone tried the GE flashers with C2R filament? They are Hungarian made and probably last longer than the Chinese ones.

LOL Love that song to geez I'm old, just replaced the small flashers behind the lightning bolts with small led flashers and they now work? I thought they didn't work cause of the code but no they didn't work cause they where blown cheap china globes?

Just be careful with the globes behind the lightning bolts Peter . They look and are the same size as 555 bulbs but they are not !! .. they are actually ( I think ) 618 ?? . The difference is that 555 bulbs are for 6 volt circuits but the circuits behind the lightning bolts are 12 volt flasher circuit .

The led flashers I used are I think 13.6 volt flashers are they ok?
