yep...the white or cream colored ones can melt from the heat...I've got about 20 of those sitting around here I use for parts and they are all melted....some so bad you can't even get the bulbs out.  I'm guessing those are the older style ones before they switched to the chromed ones that reflect the light better.

Yeah, that's interesting.  Serious heat generation to do that.  I just watched a show on the History channel the other night about slot machines that featured IGT and one of the employees in the production area was talking about reels and strips.  The reels that he was showing were white.  Maybe they were a newer type.
