I have a DE JP quite a few of the light sockets are making me nuts. When you put a bulb in it comes in but when you push and twist it doesn't work. can these be fixed or just replaced?? Thanks!

Some times you can clean them with a small brush and they will work. Just make sure the game is off when cleaning.

Usually light sockets can be bought and relatively easily replaced. Sometimes you have to push real hard, but when you have LEDs you risk breaking them that way.

In JP I have found different sockets
Used in production. This is also in Gottliebs, and other DE.
Check the nibs on the bulb, as well the
Depth of the bottom point of contact.
Especially with LEDs. Sometimes a quick file to the bottom will solve.

Im using LEDs. Are you saying a quick file to the bulb or the socket?
