Leaf Contact Switches, buy new or fabricate
« on: September 19, 2024, 06:03:52 am »
Oh my machine, there are a few switches that are missing the spoon. They are shown in the attachment, but the Bally part numbers are SW-106A and SW-126-A. I realize finding new or used is going to be next to impossible, so what have people done to fix these? Do you find some beryllium copper strips and rivet on contacts, and bend/form a spoon?

Have you tried pinball machine repair shops?
Take a good photograph of the part you need, with measurements and send them the info?
Here's a link to an example?...>>>

pictures received are now posted on https://bingo.cdyn.com/slots/triple%20bell%20%28console%20slot%29/

pictures with a tape measure next to them is the best thing.  Length and the distance between stack screw holes are the critical things.

those types of switches were used in bally games of the era, including bingo and flipper machines.  Anyone with a pile of parts like 6cardmark or in my case access to the pacific pinball museum's warehouse junk piles will have plenty of replacements.

pinball resource is also an option, but you'll want to send the pics with the dimensions so he can match them up.  For the blades, he just sells generic ones in three thicknesses with holes and contacts you peen in yourself.  The "formed blades" her may or may not have.

where'd the diagram come from?

I can't remember where I found that, but its a 15 page, individually scanned service parts manual. I can send that to you as well if you wish to post it.

I'm heading to the museum warehouse tomorrow.  Can you measure the blue and green dimensions shown below (or take a pic with a tape measure next to the switch stack)

I just emailed you a few with a mechanist scale included. It's easier to email them as I don't have a way to reduce the size on my phone in order to post them here
