I am in the process of clearing the playfield in my POTC and noticed this little bulb and on of the leads is broken? What is it?? And can I replace it with a Christmas light bulb basically the same thing? Thanks so much

It's a neon lamp. It's purpose is surge protection.

Be careful. The wires on a neon lamp where they enter the glass are very delicate. Don't flex them much.

Thanks KenLayton yes i noticed there is one other area that uses these and they are SUPER brittle.

TIP:

A teeny dob of silicone glue applied right where the wires enter the glass will prevent flexing/breaking of the wires there.

Use a removal tool. Something like this:
