I'm working on a Bally Aladdin's Castle that has DC pop bumpers. The high current switches are toast so I am looking for replacements and also the plastic spoon as well (it may have melted - I don't have the game with me to check)

The switch assembly is Bally part #AS-982-1088

Unfortunately, Marco doesn't have stock and it's also not listed on PBR website either.

I would love to hear suggestions for alternates? Would a System 1 pop bumper switch stack fit (that has high current contacts)?

I would also be fine with just the switchblades.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice I've got some System 1 playfields for spares but that's it...I'm not really a Bally guy.

As suggested I'll contact PBR and see what Steve suggests.

Are the individual blades interchangeable between Bally, Williams, and Gottlieb in terms of hole spacing and size?

The coil diode suppresses the back EMF so it will help prevent the switch arcing a burning...I suspect the diode is what has possibly failed (or is missing) and has caused the contacts to fail.
