Quoted from LynnInDenver:

My recommendation is to replace them with the same style of socket. Odds are good the same type is used throughout the machine, so it's more a logistical thing to do so, so that the machine uses only one "type" of bulb. Otherwise, any new socket should be pretty reliable compared to what's in there, whether it's a plastic wedge socket or a bayonette.

I think trac doc is on the right track

I got lucky, full Mylar up to just below ABC lanes.

Quoted from TractorDoc:

Rolled the playfield out yesterday to begin the teardown process.

Overall the playfield is not in terrible condition, but it does show its age. The most obvious issue is the difference in color between mylar/non-mylared areas. Baby blue I like, the yellowish green not so much

Quoted from TractorDoc:

In the automotive world I've used the SEM line of paints for vinyl and plastics -- there is even a plastic promoter pre-spray to help with adhesion. It may be something to give some consideration.

install lighting under 123 drops it may illuminate up thru like a fiber optic so to speak
