I had been having some intermittent flipper issues, but have narrowed it down to a temperamental EOS. Flipper will stop working - I look at the flipper board and LED isn't lighting. I clean the EOS with a business card and it starts working again. In cleaning it, I'm pinching the switch and probably bending/straightening it a bit, too.

In the picture of both flippers, it is the one on the left. The switch looks pretty beat up and the paw/actuator is worn down a bit.

The switch was replaced by the prior owner in the recent past (probably less than a year ago) whereas the switch on the right is several years older. So the left switch probably shouldn't look like this (yet).

I can replace the switch again, but I wonder if there is some other adjustment I need to make first so the new switch doesn't get so beat up. Or maybe it was a bad/cheap switch...?

So...is there something to adjust? Should I just replace? Or adjust and replace?

Thanks,

Thanks. I don't want to just bypass it...that raptor kickback is fierce.

It was replaced only 6 months ago...is there any other tweak I need to make? I wonder if something is out of alignment or set up wrong and I will just destroy another switch quickly...
