Quoted from frenchmarky:I always liked those pal nuts, chrome is snazzier looking than the rubber caps. I don't think I've ever had one come loose. I'd never put the rubber tips on a game that originally came with the chrome nuts, doesn't look right. When removing I just pull up on them a little at first while turning, no big deal.
I ended up putting black rubber ones from PBR on a Blackout I had. To me they fit the darker theme of the game better than chrome would have.
Quoted from koji:I'm guessing the incandescent bulb, since the other is LED.

Quoted from j_m_:because staples are so 18th century and overrated?
Doubt I still have any pictures, but I picked up a Bally Viking several years back that had the ground braid held on and, in some cases, connected using thumb tacks.
Quoted from play_pinball:I work in TV and can tell you, they're not building a new cabinet to greek out old designs. That's probably washable (if you're lucky) paint sprayed on the side of a Whirlwind.
Looks like they may have done the same on the trans-light.
Quoted from MrBally:Some people can’t solder, that's all....
Those holes are likely tied together on the back side of the circuit board. You can confirm with an ohmmeter.
