Micro mini - switch body, and lever that ball hits to push knob into switch body. Any bending or adjusting, do that past the knob area of the switch body so you don't change that. You need to learn a bit as you go along. So a ball triggers it but doesn't get stuck on it.
Leaf blade - make sure the leaf blades are straight and not all bent up. The metal rivets on the end that make electrical contact, closer less sensitive, farther apart more sensitive. Bend the leafs as close to the fiberboard spacers as possible. On things like a pop bumper or slingshot - the long blade just resting on the spoon or rubber ring and not pushing it, the rear shorter blade far enough away so the slightest ball hit fires it yet vibration doesn't trigger it.

Also, the right tool for adjusting leaf switches:

I've found that the PB Resource tool is built well, and the Pinball Life one a bit less so. They are both equally easy to lose, however.
What about a outline switch I have a TFTC the left outlane switch triggers kick back when lit.
If all goes lane fast it triggers kick back perfectly if ball goes slowly down lane kick back either does not
activate or fires kick back twice in a row still allowing ball to fall through bottom of lane

Here is your chance to learn about adjusting switches. Does it need to be more sensitive or less. You'll have to tweak it to find out.

It seems as though I never have the correct micro mini model number on hand or know where to get it. Is there a list of the micro mini model numbers and a thumbnail picture of the minis to ensure the correct switch is installed? Is pinball life the best place for a one stop micro mini shop? Thanks, Mike V
