Dear Lloyd, I have a Jacks to Open, Gottlieb system 80A and fuse F5 (controlled lamps) blows once in a while. I checked the lamp sockets and two of them seem to be waggling. Is there a way of tightening them up? What’s a mother to do?


Thank you,

Mildred, Ebbing MO

Dear Mildred


You can use a punch and hammer and bang them back tighter, or replace.


Is everything with you in three's ?
