    If your arcade supply has a voltage adjust you can adjust it up to 6.5 v just measure with. Dmm at the socket

    Quoted from Zitt:

    Wait. How do those #44 sockets work?
    I'm ?every? application I've seen on older Solid state games... there is a diode to one lug... and a ground stapled to the bracket.
    I'm betting if you ohm out that lamp socket; you'll find you need "negative" on the mounting bracket... and "positive" on the "center" tap.
    The way you have it wired in that picture means one of your power supply leads is going to nothing / IE not connected to the lamp. IE I think the non-centertap lug is insulated (with Bakelite) from both the center and bracket.
    PLEASE verify why I said above with a dvm… I'm have NOT checked in a real game. I may be remembering incorrectly.

    I'm pretty sure your correct my friend

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    Not a ground

    The braid connecting all the sockets in a chain that is soldered , absolutely is a ground
