Time for a new thread on some more useful electronic spares that i have been sourcing recently 
This is a multiple list thread as i have found quote a few things that are useful for WPC era games and driver boards, but also can be useful for other eras to. I will update my consolidated parts thread (http://www.pinballinfo.com/communit...pinballs-consolidated-and-updated-list.32898/) with these parts to. As normal all parts are source only from quality oem manufacturers and respected electronic suppliers. No cheap chinese rubbish.
Ok so first up are
50 x 2N5401 Pre-Driver Transistors - £14 inc. vat
These are used on pretty much all WPC driver board outputs as the first switch from logic before the higher power transistors take over. Handy spares to have
10 x 4N25 Opto Isolators- £6 inc. vat
These are ics that are used on WPC driver boards for games that are pre-fliptronic (Bride, Funhouse etc) to interface the flipper switches to the switch matrix.
100 x IN4007 Diodes - £8 inc. vat
The favourite of all diodes. These are top spec rated at 1000v 1A. Used on almost every board ever made and WPC switch matrixes. Essential spares
100 x IN4148 Diodes - £8 inc. vat
The alternative diode, which is also used on many boards and also on all early Bally pinball playfeild switch matrixes. Essential spares
8 x WPC-95 Power Diodes - £8 inc. vat
These didoes are the equivalent of the square bridge rectifiers on WPC games. This is enough to change 2 complete power generation sections on your WPC-95 driver board
5 x Single Glass Fuse Holders (Tabbed or PCB mount) - £6 inc. vat
These are used on the WPC driver boards in the form of the pCB mount type for carrying the glass fuses. The tabbed variety (Shown below) are used on many 80s play fields from manufacturers such as Bally and Gottlieb to fuse different circuits. Very handy to have as spares as originals corrode and cause all sorts of issues.
1 x WPC GI Header and Pin Set - £2.40 inc. vat
Very common fault on WPC games where GI over power burns the connectors and header pins. This set includes a 7A rated 22AWG header connector and also a new set of 11 header pins for restoring that GI back to full operation.
10 x WPC Power LED monitors - £2.40 inc. vat
LED set for WPC boards. These do fail and can make diagnosis more complicated. Having spares is super handy.
Multiple items can be shipped together Postage should be fixed if i can keep the sizes within large letter at £1.50 second class or £2 first class
The prices and availability of all these parts is limited and not guaranteed for long as things change continually. Some of the parts are also end of line. Payment via paypal to jim@mypinballs.co.uk if you want some as before with other parts i have found, or contact me and i can send you an invoice directly. (If paying directly please include your address in the notes.)
