Flash Gordon Flipper button switch

Was doing sum repairs to my Flash Gordon and found the left flipper button switch needs replacing.
After the part number for Bally flipper button switch (pictured)
This has a diode on the switch..

That's a Capacitor across the switch. Only required for export machines to Europe (specifically Germany). Not required for our country. Change both at the same time (left and right).

With many thanks to Strangeways  in helping me find the right flipper button switches for my Flash Gordon.
I installed them today and what a big difference it makes, the flippers are so snappy now than before.
Interesting find when I was changing the switches, one switch had a new blade soldered over the burnt pitted blade, a cheap fix I thought.
