Hi guys! Replacing with leds on my WMS Hyperball, a socket broke! Any suggestion to repair it without changing or modify the original bracket?
I've tried to disassembly a single spare bulb socket, but the problem is how to riassemble it in the bracket, especially how to "fix" the inside spring... 
Please... heeeelp meee!!!
Thanks!
Ciaooo!
Because maybe I can find a cheaper solution with your help..
40$ are too much for a single damaged socket...
Hi everyobody! Following your suggestions, I did my repair! At the moment it works, but nothing is eternal 
I took another bulb socket, disassembled in order to have all the parts/insulations good to be re-assembled on the bracket.
I used a lot of superglue to fix all the components like a sandwich, then another drops of hot glue to have more stability. Finally, to ensure continuity, I soldered a wire from the central tip of the LED lamp to the metal lug.
I have to change a funnel before, then I will put the playfield in place for testing my job... finger crossed!
Thanks to all!
Ciaooo
