    I'm still interested in this thread. Any conclusions on the best switch after all this analysis? I don't like using the current available DB5's as I don't like having the bend blades after installing a new switch, it can make the trip wire stick up too high. Whats the best alternative source for the DA3's or DB3's ?

    Thanks for the reply Ed. Personally I'm looking for the switch with no blade actuator, would be even better if it had the diode installed but not a deal-breaker. Haven't been able to find any DA3's so if I dare summarize, sounds like the DB3 is the closest. Has anyone tried these ? Any feedback on the force? Did the blades need adjustment?I tried the DB5 but found I always had to adjust the blade to make it work, not that that's a huge problem but would prefer more of a plug and play situation.

    So the DB3C-B1AA is about 62 grams of force with the actuator, what were the original DA3's force with the actuator? Being pinball machine switches only use actuators that's the number I think that matters. I didn't have good luck with the DB5's from P.L.
