I Have an R I'm working on and typical only one side of the 100 end cap lighting works. The strange thing is I have 6V at the center pin of the socket. I've tried 3 different bulbs thinking maybe the bulb wasn't making good connectivity but no go.
It seems like every R that I have restored has had this issue. Any thoughts on a fix?
It's the only thing holding me up on completion of the job
Regards, Rick

If you have 6V on the center terminal of the lamp socket, perhaps the lamp socket shell is too loose to make a ground connection. Check using the shell and the centre terminal, then if Zero V check the center terminal and the shell's mounting arm...

The easy fix is to solder a wire from the lamp shell to the frame ground.

2 wire plug comes out of pinbank right side into right end cap. Then 2 wires parallel across top of mech to left end cap. #63 or #81 bulbs. Just a bad socket?

Generally speaking, it's often the ground/common that gets the poor connection and it may show good without a bulb in it. Try a jumper wire just to test it.
