I'm a noobie here and I just got my first pin!!! A Bally Future Spa that has some lamp sockets that need replacing. Can anyone point me to the right ones required for the playfield inserts and GI? My guess is #E-120-19 for the GI under the plastics and #E-120-127 for the inserts.

Here is the main question though... For the pop bumpers, can I use the new and improved wedge lamp socket 24-8776-1? And if so, how does it MOUNT in the bumper?

Thanks,

Tim

The pop bumper lamps just sit loose. The old Bally ones were metal with legs and the legs going through would hold it up, while the wired ones just rest there.

For the older SS games with the wider pop bumper body the newer wedge based sockets are too tall. Use the original style pop bumper sockets.

It probably has the old style bumper.

Someone may have worked on it at some point so you never know....but 95% you need the old style lamp holder.
