I am primarily asking about my Joust cocktail, but also for my Robotron. What are people using for lights and receptacles on their Williams control panels? Joust uses lights to light up the Joust title on the CPO and the Player Start buttons. Robotron uses them for the Player Start buttons. Anyone know where to find them; or the specifications to find them?

I remind people that I am back in Canadia (where Canadians come from).

I'd suggest LEDs.

I know it's not original, and some people will have a freaking aneurysm over it, but they have lower heat generation which tends to preserve the plastic better. Shoot for 2700K to 3000K for the best match too the original lamps. 3000K is just a bit brighter than 2700K which is basically the color of an incandescent lamp.

I'd stay away from 4K and 5K lamps - the daylight looks too bright, and tends to wash out colors.
 
I have found that they are #44 bulbs, but finding the bayonet receptacles is proving difficult.

I bought these for eventually installing in my CP but they looked like the closest that I saw in photos of Sinistar and Joust lights.
 
For the "bulbs" these are awesome. Just bend in place:
