Pachinko Restoration: Sankyo Update #2

 Ball Out Light

In this update, I tackle the ball out indicator light, which illuminates when the pachinko machine is running low on jackpot balls. The problem I'm having is that the ball out bulb is merely sitting in place, and it appears that the rubber grommet that holds it in place has dried out over time (it is almost 50 years old).




To solve this issue I added a plastic surround to hold the bulb in place, I also purchased a new bulb holder that has an outer lip that holds it in place.




So this is what it looks like now...


...and when it's illuminated (with LED bulbs, 9 volt battery)
