Hey Ed, it's just a regular bumper, no coil.  Here's what I did though, I pulled the bumper assembly, unsoldered the lights, and I hate to say this but I couldn't see anything that the screw would have touched.  I did however put a pick in the hole and I swear I hear something metal in that hole.  I also checked the other hole and there isn't a metal sound at all.  I think there's something metal in the bottom of that hole but it's not attached to anything.

Would that cause a short though?  GI on, bulb goes in, lamp touches screw?  My gut says no but I don't know enough to say either way.

Thoughts?

look's like the play feild was pulled all the way out and layed flat on the :contact side:,bad bad move

Toadie:
Hey Ed,

The picture might be misleading.  The diodes are all up away from the playfield but the picture makes it look like they're lying flat.  On the socket, are you looking at the top one?  That socket actually works and is part of the light underneath the shield in front of the bumper but behind the target switch.  If you look further down you see that vent like shape with the plastic plunger piece and the two lamp socket legs coming out of it?  That's the bumper assembly.

As for the field being laid down, that might have happened with the guy that I bought the machine from but all in all it seems to look ok and everything plays well.
