Hello,
I picked up a less than stellar CFTBL the other night and as I've been replacing bulbs, I discovered that a few of the screw-in 555 sockets that fit in the playfield plastics are not working even after switching out the bulbs. I pulled the one board and replaced the diode, thinking that would fix it, but it did not. I have one board with 2 lamps out, and 2 more boards with 1 lamp out, each. I'm used to working on older Bally's, so I'm not sure what to check next for these particular lamps. Could it just be the black socket piece itself?
A couple other issues are with some standard 44 bulb sockets are not lighting even after cleaning the socket and replacing the bulb. Same as above, where might I look next to fix the feature lamps?
And the holy grail question: Where can I find a replacement hologram? HA LOL Yeah.....
Thank you,
Ryan
