Thanks Ed, I'll put the 15 watt equivalent LED's behind them. It had 25 watt chandelier type bulbs in it, that could be why the the films are warped. I don't recall if the others I worked on were warped at all. In this box they were clear, not frosted, so I'll try both to see if there is a difference.

They use 15 watt incandescent bulbs behind the rotating film. Anything larger will create hot spots and melt the Polaroid film. These bulbs are no big longer made but Amazon may have as them.

Watt watt (pun intended) bulbs are supposed to be behind the rotating polarized lenses for the peacock? I haven't worked on very many 850's, but wow this has a LOT of bulbs! Most of the bulbs were burnt out when it arrived here so I ordered some 15 watt equivalent LED bulbs to replace them. Without looking I forget exactly, but I think it took a couple 25 watt bulbs... or they might be the ones I'm asking about. I surely don't want to overheat those lenses. I now recall that it takes 4 25 watt T7 size base bulbs, I found those in LED also. I didn't get them at Walmart, but someone told me that they carry them. They are used in microwave ovens and other appliances. Also, does anyone know of a QUIET motor for the lenses? The ones from that unnamed parts place are so loud that I can here it over the juke playing at a medium low volume. Unless anyone knows of a better way, if the customer wants to pay, I'm thinking of making a new motor bracket that hangs on two of the speaker isolation mounts. It doesn't look too difficult, even with my limited fabrication skills. And one more thing about the motor, it is 12.5 rpm, is that correct? It seems too fast. Ah... One more thing, does it matter which way the lenses go, like which way faces forward? I didn't try messing with them but the color effects don't seem to be as vibrant as I remember on others. The lenses in it are warped a bit if that could be the problem. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair _______________________________________________ Jukebox-list mailing list -- jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com <mailto:jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com> To unsubscribe send an email to jukebox-list-leave@lists.netlojix.com <mailto:jukebox-list-leave@lists.netlojix.com> %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s Searchable Archives: http://jukebox.markmail.org/ <http://jukebox.markmail.org/>
