I need to replace the bulbs under the playing field that shine through the plastics. I wanted to unscrew the harness's to access the sockets but I am worried about the silver wire soldered to each bulbs harness asa well as stapled to the underside of the table. Is this a ground wire? Should I just try and bend the harness's. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

Thanks Ken! I put them in without issue. little flicker in a couple even with cleaning them but it looks so much better. Now onto triple clear and backglass bulbs... bulbs.....bulbs
 
If you have flicker and have cleaned your sockets and changed your bulbs. Check your fuses and fuse block. Flickering bulbs can and are annoying to me. Have a good one...

Doubt it's a fuse problem if it's only a couple flickering. More than likely just a bad socket.

I am pretty sure it's the socket too. I am considering the solder fix for now.
