Stern GI sockets falling apart

[kevlar]

I just noticed a flickering GI lamp on my Foo Fights under the right sling. I touched the led and the socket was completely loose. Lifted the playfield to find it had fallen apart. Looking around I found 5 more! They were loose but still touching, I'm surprised I hadn't noticed them flickering. Anyone else had this issue?. A bad batch of lamp sockets for sure.

Don’t get me started on lamp sockets!
Just ask James and Bob…. @MajesticPinball @pinballtoys
They fell asleep recently listening to me yabber on about lamp holder quality….
(Although they were in agreement for the first few hours….)….

See this endlessly on new sterns, shocking quality. I think keef @new forest pinball glues them back together and recycles them

The back flashers on Metallica did this to me. Guess it’s been going on a while.

I can go back to a new in box Deadpool that did the same........imagine having to strip off the whole flipper plate and mechanism on a brand new machine with zero plays on it !
