Ah yes, the old "pepperoni" stick. I use it all the time. Best ones come from Pinball Resource.

Quoted from slochar:I've broke 3 or 4 of those off in the drill doing this
I'm now solidly in the 'replace them all' camp after trying....
Cleaning
soldering the wire to the bottom
soldering the socket so it doesn't spin (that one was really hard on my fingers as you have to sand/file the socket first)
You still get dim/out/flickering bulbs.
New sockets.... nope. It makes me laugh that people will spend gobs of money on bling-y type stuff for their machines, but won't spend $60 on new bulb sockets. It's because it's largely invisible, I know.
And if people don't buy new sockets, the socket manufacturers will stop making them due to no or low demand. I also replace sockets with new ones where needed. When I rebuild pop bumpers, I always install new sockets there.
