light bulbs

[hipburwig]

I have acquired my fist soda machine a Westinghouse WB-60-K6-D. I have most of it working. can any one tell me what size bulbs go in the coin and make another selection sockets ? Im trying to get the whole thing to work before I take it apart for a good cleaning.

Do you have a photo of under the selection knob area?  I can't remember which bulbs go in there, I owned one a few years ago but I guess I never took any photos of the bulbs area.

It's an S6 size lamp, 6-10 watts, 120-130 volts, US candelabra screw-base,  (some times referred to as an "indicator" bulb) you may also use a standard C7 "night-light" lamp 120-130 volt, 7-10 watt US candelabra screw-base, although the C7 size bulbs tend to have weak filaments that cant break when you snap the lamps holder/socket into the lights receptacle housing(s)

Be aware that some sewing machine bulbs have the same C7 size "pear" shape to them but have a higher watt rating (15watts) that can overheat the "Correct change only" & "Make another Selection" plastic signs & melt or distort/warp them, or cause the printing to flake off.  

Also some S6 size lamps sold in the big-box stores are low voltage 12-14 volts are for use in appliances such as refrigerator ice/water "In the door" dispensers, will literately explode if used in 120 volt applications, so check the voltage rating on the package.

Don't bother with the C7 sized LED "night-light" bulbs, they are worthless for this purpose on just about any machine.
