Good Morning Everyone

I''ve tried every light bulb distributor that I could find on the internet, with no luck. I'm trying to find some of the light bulbs that are molded into a plastic piece, much like a Christmas light, the plugs into the back panels of the slot machine. They fit into the holes and with a twist they make contact with the printed circuit board that runs along the panel the bulb mounts in. They are the only machine that I've ever seen these kind of bulbs used on. They have a "GE 444" printed on the glass portion of the bulb, and the bulb part looks like a GE 44 bulb. I was hoping that someone here knows about them and maybe has a supplier for them? Thanks in advance for your help.

HI

What is the color of the bead inside of the bulb? I can repair the strip of lights for your slot.

I thought it might be best to post a picture.

Rich, thanks for the reply. If this looks like what you have I'll give you a call. Thanks

That looks like the type of bulbs used in a cars instrument clusters, they twist in to the printed circuit board.

I use these in some of the recent Bally and Williams pinballs. They are a 6 volt bulb and I have directly replaced the bulb with a new one and bent the wires. It is a "wedge Bulb" and is used in plug in sockets. But this bulb can also be used in a socket that looks just like what you have. Marco Specialties at

You will see a board that has both wedge holders and the twist type that I think you're looking for. You can call them and they will get you to the holder that I thinkl you need.
Hope this helps.

You need to pluck that bulb out of its holder, then in becomes a wedge-base lamp.
