    Search feature is not helping me here.

    Funhouse backbox lamp board restoration, I wanted to remove the lamp sockets before painting but you need to pinch the plastic idc sockets to remove them and the plastic is brittle and I snapped 2 of them.

    1) Anyone have better luck removing or a technique that allows you to remove without snapping them?

    2) Anyone have a source for these? Google can’t find the part number or this type of socket. Micro seems to be out of stock

    3) Lamp board painting. I primed it with old bulbs based on the issue I had removing the sockets. What is the final finish most use? The original seemed more flat than semi-gloss but my guess would be semi-gloss or gloss is best?
