quantities of water, caustic or abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads on the
playfield. Don't allow polish or wax to build-up, (waxes yellow with age and

• Switches
Switch contacts should be free of dust, dirt, and corrosion. Filing or
burnishing most switch contacts breaks the ftntsh and encourages
corrosion. Effective contact cleaning requires gentler treatment. Gently
close the contacts on a clean business card or piece of paper. Wipe the
contacts until they're clean. Ifnecesscuy. regap the contacts to 1/16 inch.
Flipper End-of-Stroke switch contacts must be treated differently from
other switch blade contacts; they provide heavier current carrying capability
than other pinball game switch contacts. Severely pitted contacts cause
flippers to be weak. Smooth the pitted contact surface of the E.O.S. switch
contacts with a contact flle.Then, polish your work with a burnishing tool.
regap the contacts if necessary, to 1/16 inch.
