I am trying to get all the lamps going on my Addams Family. The manual is very clear about what type bulbs to put in the playfield (controlled lamps anyway), but nothing on what to put in the backbox. Really no GI info at all.

What flasher lamp type goes on top under the cloud?
There are several bayonet sockets in the backbox. Are these for #44's, several blinking lamps and several #44's were installed when I got the machine.
#44's seem to be an odd choice as the other (555's?) in the wedge sockets are the same brightness.

Can anyone help me out?

Back box is mostly #555, flashers in cloud #906 or #912.

Your game has had sockets changed so you can use bayonet base #455 flashing bulbs, as opposed to the hard to find and expensive #545 bulbs.

LTG :)

Thanks a million!!
The sockets for the 455's don't appear to be changed.
It is serial 20,017, so maybe a late change in the run?
Anyway, if so, whoever did it made it look factory!! :D

I switched a bunch of the 555's over to 159's last night.
Sure helped on the reflection, PF is easier to see!
