Quoted from bbddpp:

While I have everyone's kind attention...other than it needing a DEEP cleaning and new rubbers (never been back here before) I need to change the burnt bulb inside the pop bumper -- never saw this before, I figured remove from above like usual. This bulb is not budging! Don't tell me I need to do this from underneath the playfield to get at this bulb! Thoughts? It turns a slight bit but I can't feel any upward ability, do I need to pinch the metal or something to open up the gap? I expected to see a wedge here not what looks to be a bayonet.

The bulb can sometimes be a tight fit. Push down a little bit and twist the bulb. Eventually, the tabs on the bulb line up with the openings and you'll be able to remove the bulb. Once in a while, the glass part of the bulb will detach from the metal base. If this happens, make sure to get all the glass out and then use a needle nose pliers to pinch the metal bulb base and use the pliers to turn our the base from the socket.
