Quoted from MutterFudder:
My cabinet also had pilot holes were a normal switch would go. I just used those.

Use a single contact instead of a double. Cut the diode off. https://www.pinballlife.com/stern-flipper-leaf-switch-single-contact.html
Edited to add if you already have a double contact switch just use one of the contact pairs.

So you switched to Stern switches?

If so, would you say there is a significant difference in the way the game feels? I would assume with the extra blades for tension, it will feel much better than the cheapo factory switches.

I did! I don't think the left flipper feels all that different, mine had a pretty decent feel to it before replacing. But I'm much, much happier with the feel and stage-ability (if that's a thing) of the right flipper after the mod. I didn't care for how it felt prior, and it did feel a little better after putting zipties in place but an adjusted stern switch felt much better (to me).

Could you share a photo of it in the cabinet, and a close up of how you soldered the wires to the lugs.

Thanks so much!

After adjusting original leaf switches the game plays fine with good stagebility in my case. A little softer feel than Stern, more like Williams wpc95 with opto flipper switches. It's fine for me this way. It's not a Stern so I don't necessarily want to play it like Stern...

If someone wants a Stern way of feel, just change them like described

I decided to adjust the curvature of the garage rail per instructions on this thread. My R&M is a late run so it actually shot pretty well out of the box. The upper right flipper shot to the garage is a tough one for me but has been make able. Once the ball has been shot accurately it did seem to have an impeded motion. After making the modifications the ball seems to travel smoothly towards the garage. I don’t know if the shot is easier to hit. Maybe but at least it’s smoother. I think the next thing to adjust is the right outer loop that goes to the garage. There is something that sometimes prevents the ball from getting to the garage.

Take the house off and watch a few loop shots.

I’m going to bet that the ball hits the bolts on your diverter. There are a few fixes listed here.

Quick and dirty hand thru the coindoor, sure. I just matched wires to the existing lugs on the old switch one wire at a time. I won’t have a ton of time this week to lift the playfield (and I’m not unscrewing it to get a better view lol. I never want to touch this again)

Thanks. Took the ramps off and the house. I taped a piece of thin PETG plastic using packing tape to the diverter just so it covers the bolts. It made a smoother transition from the rail to the diverter and seemed to make a difference.

I also did the same to near the beginning of the outer right loop. There’s a post that has a rubber grommet on it that seems to deflect the ball. Another PETG fix and I think that loop is now much better.

I was having issues with that right orbit too. But, I found that just removing the rubber there seems to have mostly resolved the issue. If I have a wonky shot that is a little to the left of the orbit it still can get hung up, but it happens far less often without that rubber.

Thanks for the photos brother!

Did you use the 3D printed base that the original switch was sitting on?

Also, what screws did you use?

It doesn't look like you had a lot of slack on those wires, which is sort of how my game is. I might just solder some wires to switch outside of the machine, and then connect the wire ends in the cabinet and put tubing on it.

Cheers!

Also, wanted to just quickly say that I got one of the MRS switches from Sonic and it works brilliantly.

I was having an issue with shots registering around the inner loop, and despite putting washers under the switches, I could not get it to work without issue.

The MRS fixed this, and I'm even ordering one more for the second switch in that loop.

Ended up using the same screws -- the stern switch thickness was roughly the same as the old switch with the 3d printed base on it. I didn't use the base and went right against the cabinet, adjusted for leaf height to the flipper (which lined up with those pilot holes for me). Good luck with your changeover!

This works great and I know some people didn’t like it because it’s not clear like the plastic but honestly you don’t even notice it! And, I don’t need to worry about replacing another broken plastic.

I have a question since there is no schematics for my R&M machine. The RGB light that sits in the pop bumper (opposite the sling) has given up the ghost and either gives off NO light or will flicker sometimes at best. I checked all the connections and they seem fine. As far as I can tell (without taking it apart since I don't have the replacement part) the bulb itself is part of the little board. If I am correct and it is a new RGB board I need does anyone here know the part number? Or a link to it on one of the parts resellers? If I am wrong please educate me, the game is still playable but you can't tell when megaseeds are available at the pop bumper. Not a game stopper but not the best situation either.

Hey John. I had the same problem. Actually this is the second time I have had it. One of the wires is not making contact. You need to take the top off the pop bumper and see where the break is and then solder that back. Not the easiest place to solder but it can be done.

I will check this first, but will probably order a backup anyway since it seems to be a common problem. Not surprised, when a game gets rocking that pop bumper gets a LOT of action.

That is the right one! I would recommend putting a 3/8 OD rubber rings between the PCB and the pop body to help dampen the vibration on each side. You can slip them on under the PCB on the pop body screws. Vibration is a killer inside this pop.
