My game is missing 1 555 lamp board twist in thing (there has to be a better name for them). I bought a 10 pack from Game Room Guys and none of them seem to work. I’ve tried bending the connector points up and messing with the leads on the LED. Tried all sorts of things. Of course I’ve also tried in known working spots on the lamp boards and they don’t work there either.

Anyone know where I can get a more reliable part?

Yeah, I think I need to invest some more time into it. It’s like the contacts are shorter on these than my stock parts. Maybe I need to reflow the pads in case there’s some kind of divot in the solder.

Quoted from wdennie:
Are you sure its the sockets and not the led's?

Pretty sure.., tried switching out with several different led and even regular incandescent.
