I have a 1963 Swing Along machine. I have two lights that blink when they shouldn’t. One is where the ball first enters the playing surface under the far left guide. The other is in the triangle above the left flipper. Any tips on getting them to stay on. All the other lights are working fine.
If you wiggle the bulbs, do they blink then? I suspect you have bad sockets. Underneath, where a wire attaches to a tab, does that tab rotate easily? That verifies the socket is bad.
There are other threads on how to “fix” sockets, you may want to search those.
