I lost a couple of the 555 light sockets while cleaning the board on my baby pacman. Does anyone know any companies that sell them? Or if someone is parting one out let me know if I can buy a few from you.

Thanks!
 
Yes Green

Yep they are green and have a diode attached to each socket and are square with the power flat plugs that go into the bottom of the socket to hold it in place.

Let's see a pic

They should not have any diodes attached to them.

Baby Pacman uses diodes on the lamp circuits since one circuit is shared between two independent lamps using timing and half width rectification. The circuit uses an SCR to help with timing. Certainly a cool design.

They should just be normal sockets with a diode soldered in place and not something special.
