Quoted from BCpinhead:

....
But this is what really takes the cake. I'm not at all confident with playfield touch ups and fixing holes. Guess I need to read Vids playfield thread for the next month or so!!
Was my machine built on a Monday morning or is this previous owner butchery? Or is this how one limits your drain lane size on EMs? Just fire a new screw and post in...golden!

The post adjustment chart for the game will identify the hole closest to the switch as "conservative" and the far hole as "liberal". These holes were provided so operators could adjust the appetite of the outlanes and thereby control ball time.

If the screw doesn't hold well, adding some glue and toothpicks to the hole is allowed.

Update. ...
Good progress, but then I started to clean the match unit the top switch blade tab broke off. Darn! Advice on how I can scab a piece onto the blade? Replace blade? The yellow wire needs to get reconnected. I have never had this happen before in my limited experience. Here is a pic...tab on side of top blade broke off.

Scab a tab.

Big stack of Bakelite > curved switch leaf > single thick spacer > damper leaf > broken switch leaf > repair tab > thin spacer > slotted end piece.

Might need some adjusting after all that surgery..
