Hey Guys!
I have a SMB pinball machine, and some lights aren't working, they are getting power and I've tried replacing them but to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks!

For #555 bulbs ?
Turn the game off. Look inside the socket. See the clips that grip the wedge part of the light bulb ? Bend the clips closer together so they grip the wires on the wedge base of the bulb better.
You can pull the wires away from the wedge base of the bulb so they stick out a little too, that will help.

Thanks! There kinda hard to reach, and I don't want to unscrew them because of the ground wire soddered to the socket. I know this is probably a horrible idea, but do you think I could put some tinfoil in the socket to transfer the electricity?
Quoted from Corey_Fleming:this is probably a horrible idea, but do you think I could put some tinfoil in the socket to transfer the electricity?
Yeah, I'd say that is a horrible idea. I wouldn't do it.
If you decide to try anyway. Wrap the fuses in tinfoil first, so you don't blow them up too. Keep it contained to small fires.
