This may be a noobie question but I haven't been able to find an
answer so far...
My first pinball project is a Space Shuttle. I'm putting the
playfield back together and see that two of the pop bumpers have what
appear to be transistors in the wiring for the lamps, but the other
bumper does not. I'm curious about the need for the transistors, as
well as why the pop lamps have (what I think is) higher gauge wire
inside clear tubing, rather than the normal 14 gauge wiring elsewhere.
Am I OK rewiring the pop lamps with "regular" wire without the
transistors?
Thanks!
