Hello!
Any Cueball Wizard owners out there that can help me find "Trough switch" # 41?
I really really need this switch....already tried PR but it is out of stock or not made anymore. Thanks!
(Topic ID: 154147)
Quoted from Crash:It's the switch underneath the apron, not the outhole switch.
Hey crash, can you do me a big favor please?
Can you test your new switch with the dmm? So I can compare to mine?
Basically mine, is always open. When I test the leads used by the connector, the dmm starts beeping but the beeping does not stop when I push the actuator down, it just keeps beeping. I just wanted to compare to yours. Let me know thanks!
The game's on location so I don't have access to it. The switch should only register continuity (beep) when you press it and it clicks. Sounds like yours is stuck closed.
Im sooo confused here...if its bad and stuck closed, why Am I able to play the game? With only the occational ball not feed to shooter lane
As I said before, it's the same part. Steve sent me that part number. That's the only place I know of that stocks them, though (or did).
If the switch is bad or stuck closed, how come I can still play the game? Please guide me on this one. Very confused about this one
The switch registers in test mode fine. I did the test pushing the actuator down 20 times in test mode and it registered all 20 times...you still think its bad?
There may be a problem with the way you're testing the switch. Gottlieb games use a weird hybrid switch/lamp matrix, but I am not familiar with the switch matrix and how it is wired on Gottliebs. Yes the switch could be causing an intermittent connection when the ball is ejected into the shooter lane causing it to "flutter." This prevent the CPU from properly ejecting the ball. I adjusted my old switch once to where it doesn't do this, ran about 20 or 30 test ejects during a game. It didn't last, so I got the suggested replacement from PBResource and that fixed it permanently. It's one of those weird things that's just hard to reproduce. Replacing the switch is the only solution.
By the way, no need to bump the thread 3 times every time you post, I and others have other things to do besides Pinside. That's all I know on the subject, hope you find what you're looking for.

First of all, thank you very much for your help. It is very much appreciated.
Second of all, sorry I didnt mean to offend you by bumping the thread. It was not done on purpose. Questions started popping in my mind and just posted them. I know you have other stuff to do besides pinside. I have other stuff to do too.
Sorry for saying this but, if you are answering a question here on pinside, it means that you are making time for pinside, correct? so I really don't understand why you would tell me "you and others have other things to do besides Pinside"
Having said that, thank you again for all of your help. Peace.
