Completely replace them. This is from the Gigi I'm working on. Easy to do. 20200514_194607 (resized).jpg20200514_194607 (resized).jpg

Just get a socket with minimal length on the bracket and adapt it. Nothing worse than jakey reel lamps. Do this and you'll never have problems.

While you're at it get the LEDs out of there...

Quoted from phillyfan64:

EMsInKC from your pictures I’m guessing you may have used PBR # A2913 and just bent the mouthing tab over?

Yep that is the one. A lay down normally used under the playfield.

I'm just messing with you on the LEDs. Well, sort of...

Quoted from phillyfan64:

I hate trying to fix flakey sockets. I ordered the A2913 sockets from PBR. I’m probably going to replace all 6 of them. The original style is unavailable. I even ordered a couple boxes of #47s and a box of 44s.
Thanks guys.

Fortunately these are not those lousy light bars that almost always have issues. There's a lot of fixes for lamp sockets but the best long term is just replacement. Not the cheapest but the best.

I will tell you there are grommets under there. Hopefully yours will be in decent shape. Mine pretty much crumbled. I took the entire assembly apart to clean it all up and replaced those with grommets from the hardware store. Hard to find the right size.
