Can someone confirm that the spinner switches on early Bally / Stern machines (Flight 2000 in this particular case) are normally open, ie when the spinner is at rest?

The machine I picked up has a new CPR playfield in and I think the previous owner mounted the switches upside down because they're closed at rest...

thanks !

On all of our Ballys the spinner switch is always open. Longer leg of the switch with the hole in it for the hook/loop on the wireform passing through the playfield is below and lifts to create closed when the spinnner goes around.

Cool, thanks! Confirmed my suspicion - the switches on mine are upside down

Nice to have an easy fix for a change
