Addams Family, The
Bally, 1992There are a couple of these on the Addams Family playfield - a single flasher that twists in from underneath, into a small PCB board that's riveted into the plastic. I need to replace one (not the one pictured; soldering accident a long time ago, I'm much better at soldering now) but I can't find this part anywhere. Where can I find it, or how can I make a replacement?
Not exact. Marco has this - https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/A-20158

Thanks all! I'll try the part from Marco and a regular socket and see what works best.
The old one is definitely salvageable, but I'm working on restoring this particular game so I don't want it out there in the wild with a nasty-looking part.
I happen to have parts from an Addams Family in a tote and I'm fairly sure I saw the plastic with this board riveted to it. I can make this board if you're unsuccessful or want something that looks closer to factory form. I had made some of the other lamp boards from this machine (the single lamp matrix board and the cloud dome flasher board) but I did not make this as it was riveted to the plastic.
The reason you want to use a wedge twist and not a bayonet (or regular) socket is that the dome is riveted to the plastic. You won't be able to easily change/service the bulb in the event of bulb failure. The wedge twist makes it a breeze to change the bulb.
