Creature from the Black Lagoon
Bally, 1992On my Creech several of the 555 wedge base sockets are falling out of the standing signs - e.g. Rescue, Movie Madness, etc. In the manual they are 55-58 and 63-68. I've tried brand new base sockets from Pinballlife but it seems like the new sockets don't click into place like they do in other machines, and in less than 100 plays one drops out onto the playfield and inevitably jams a ball. Is there a different base that was used?

They are touchy - you can bend up the metal tabs slightly so they make more contact with the sign and will stay on better via the friction
