Where can I find a match for this outhole switch on my middle earth pin? It is on the fritz and I'd like to find a match.

My best guess is something in the Cherry D44Y lever microswitch family.

Here's a datasheet. I'm not sure if there's an actuator on the list that will match or not.

Also, if you remove the switch from the bracket, it might have a model number on the side that's hidden.

Forceflow is bang on.

You can replace it with a NORMAL OPEN cherry switch and bend the arm up like that to fit into that out hole. You can also use a 3 prong nc/no switch.

Any cherry from an old oystick should do it.

I've found d this to be an acceptable replacement for many of the Atari switches: https://www.pinballlife.com/switch-5647-12133-08.html

Have you used these for roll over switches? Is the action light enough? Thanks.

Yes. It's tricky to dial in because you've got to get the paddle bent just right, but they work fine.
