Quoted from GnarLee:not a lot of work today but what i did started frustrating me. So started testing down the line and went something like this bad bad bad bad bad, then i realized well duh I have to take out the lamps to test socket. Got the 10 out that I knew of and was still getting continuity and looked a little deeper and found at least 4 more sockets on the string with 2 under the diverter. I dont want to pull the diverter again just so I can pull 2 bulbs and test some sockets but they also arnt serviceable sockets (IE they are stapled in). I am prepared to swap out all the gi that is stapled in and do some wiring work. Will these sockets work to replace the gi to something that can easily be serviced. https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/077-5031-00 . As far as wireing them I should be able to just redo them as a daisy chain and then tap into the braid in a couple spots and hook in the power ?
Those lamp sockets will work. I used the flat mounting sockets on mine and wired them using new insulated wires. I deleted the braid since it was part of a complete disassembly. https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/077-5000-00 But long story short you can tap into the braid to rewire your GI.
