I am trying to find a replacement lamp holder for my WPC coin door. I cannot find a part number for the life of me.
Anyone have an Idea of the part number or replacement options?
Can't find any wedge holders with the bracket

I will append a pic shortly

Thanks

You'll probably need to rivet a new socket to the original bracket.

I don't have a "riveter" I was hoping to avoid that. What about people who need the whole thing bracket and all. Just have to spend 200 clams on a new coin door?

OP
Quoted from toddsolus:

That bracket could easily be made with a pair of tin snips and a drill.

I bet you could dummy this thing up somehow.

Ya...just want to buy it for like $1.23. If at all possible ....
But if not. I'll get one close and adapt it I suppose
The tin snips and drill option is a distant 3rd

I've got a "parts" coin door and am local to you. I'll just give one to you.

Thank you. You are an encyclopedia of knowledge all things coin op.

The earlier double terminal socket for a # 44 lamp can be substituted for 27-4924 instead. You'd just need to solder the wires to it and use a 47 or 44 incandescent bulb or the same in LED version instead.

Here is the 44 version socket:
