replacing the flasher for Balrog? on LOTR

[PINAHOLIC]

My Balrog doesn't light up, I'm sure it needs a new flasher. How do I
get to it? Should I get the LED replacement? Thanks to anyone thats
been there.

LED isn't as bright, #89 doesn't always last long.

Turn the balrog so its facing the side of the cabinet. Remove metal plate
from rear, remove the switch & bracket, then unscrew the lamp bracket and
wiggle out. swap bulb, then reverse procedure. LTG :)

Lloyd- as usual- is spot on.
I personally prefer the #89- much brighter. But doesn't last long.
Perhaps one of the newer LEDs from Bruce or Terry would be much
brighter than the one Stern specifies. ????

I replaced mine with a red multibulb led in a #89 case from Bruce.
Looks great nice and bright, being its red and only red light gets
through it's red/orange skin, A white led would be dimmer since only the
red spectrum gets through. Now the banging shouldn't kill it any more.

I took the cotter pin off and slide the hole assembly off the post and
unplugged the connector and took it apart on the bench. Wasn't too bad
that way.
