Embryon - which flipper cabinet switch?
« on: September 15, 2016, 11:38:56 PM »
I recently picked up an Embryon and found the flipper cabinet switches to have very corroded contacts, so much so that they are causing sparks when I try a tap pass.
Just wondering if anyone knows the part numbers for these. On the right side of the cabinet there are two - given that there is an upper and outlane flipper on that side. The one next to the flipper (and identical to the left flipper switch) has two lugs and a larger contact. The one next to this (on the top in the picture) has three lugs - two pointing down and one sticking out - and a smaller contact.
I think I have narrowed the parts down to:
SW 1A-191
SW-10A-48
ASW-A10-41
SW-1010A-13

But not sure which ones to get.
Any help appreciated.

Switch on the bottom is correct - ASW-A10-41

Top switch does not look right. That is supposed to be a simple "lane change" switch. I'd have to check the parts manual for the correct parts number.

I agree - the outside switch should have the small gold plated contacts. 

BTW new switches will not stop the sparks from tap passing, they are a 'fact of life' on these machines.   Not sure if you can retrofit suppresion caps like later games?

It has never worried me.

The outside switch does have the smaller contacts - this is the one that is for the MPU controlled outlane flipsave flipper.
It's actually in not too bad nick so I might just replace the inside one where the contacts are shot. It would still be good to know the part number for the outside switch - the parts manual I looked at covered a bunch of games and even in the Embryon section didn't seem to specify the inside switch.
Good to hear the sparks aren't a problem.

Are the contacts worn? If they are ok then you could just file them to remove the carbon which builds up over time
