yellow start button bulbs?

OldFoo · Post by **OldFoo** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 5:13 pm

The 6.3v light bulb in my crazy taxi illuminated start button has blown and I can't find a replacement. The sega part number for the button itself is 509-5560-Y. I think the button is used across many sega games so shouldn't be that rare. Does anyone know which lamp on happ's website page:

http://www.happ.com/lighting/91003700.htm

fits a standard sega yellow start button? or alternatively if not happ, where I can get some from? (pref. in USA).

The bulb looks like standard bayonet-mounted 6.3v bulb with a sphercial glass, but the only thing similar I can find locally (at radio shack) has an elongated glass piece (like in the pics for 44,47 in the link above ) so once fitted is too high to physically fit under the button.

What I'd ideally like to find would be a drop-in LED replacement for the bulb. You'd think someone must make that. Oddly Happ seem to have drop-in LED replacements for everything but bayonet bulbs.

Thanks guys,

Neil

yeah interesting thought but I'd rather keep the existing button and just replace the blown bulb if I can.
