Doing a playfield swap on a High Speed. For the flush-mount, staple-down lamp sockets, I'm wondering if anyone has ever used solder lugs for the braid wire. I don't particularly like the look of soldering right to the playfield, and more importantly, it would be nice to not have to unsolder to replace a socket or even just a bulb.
I know these work with sockets that are screwed into the playfield. I'm wondering if they might also work for these staple-down sockets. Any thoughts?
Staple might not be as tight as a screw can be but no reason why not as long as the metal-metal contact is good. You could probably solder the lug to the socket before stapling it in.
