ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENTS:
GENERAL:
All switch assemblies consist of leaf springs, contacts, separators, plastic tubing and screws
to hold them to the mounting surface -,Before attempting to adjust a switch assembly, make
sure that these screws are tight. If not, tighten screw closest to the contact end of the leaf
spring first. This will prevent the assembly from being secured in such a manner that the leaf
springs tend to fan out. In general, all leaf springs are adjusted for a
1/16"
gap in the open
position and .010" overtravel or wipe in the closed position. All contacts should be in good
condition. Unless otherwise instructed, they should be dry or non-lubricated. All contacts
should be free of dust and dirt. Contacts, with the exception of the flipper button switch
assemblies, are plated to resist corrosion. Filing or burnishing breaks the finish and encour-
ages corrosion. Clean by closing the contacts over a clean piece of paper (e.g. a business
card) and wiping gently until the contacts are clean. For the flipper button switch assemblies
ONLY: Tarnish can be removed with a contact file followed by a burnishing tool. Severely
pitted contacts must be replaced as an assembly. In general, contacts need be cleaned or
replaced and adjusted only when they are found to be a source of game malfunction.
