Title: Flintstones switch
Post by: scottnds on December 18, 2016, 09:55:13 PM: Hello
I need to replace the upper right lane rollover switch.Switch 75.
The manual says it is 5647-12693-19 which is the same as the DIG rollovers.But after buying one and soldering the new one in I found the wire needs to be bent to fit. So after mucking around with it I snapped the wire off.
Does anyone know the number of the correct switch so I can order one?
Thanks
Scott.

What is wrong with the old switch?

You can transfer the switch actuator from the old switch to the new one.
Test it in the switch test

Does the score go up if you bump the cabinet and not flip? Is it the vibration doing it? If it does that would make me think a loose wire on a switch.

Post by: scottnds on September 01, 2017, 08:34:20 PM: Thanks guys. Its been too cold in the shed but just had a look and have gone over it several times and cannot find a loose wire. There is no score when banging on playfield and the skillshot is intermittent. I still get a score with every fiipper flip. I will clean all optos and see how that goes. Cheers

Post by: scottnds on September 10, 2017, 12:57:20 PM: I have fixed it now I hope. I cleaned all the optos but then found a globe holder for the "c" drop target had fallen off the green board and was resting in a wire loom. I must of looked at that thing 20 times and not noticed it was missing. Re soldered the lamp holder back to board and seems to be OK. Thanks for the assistance.
