Guys. I have one I cannot figure out. Deadhead Crypt right Gargoyle. No matter how light/hard it is hit will not register. However with ball in hand I hit target and it works fine. Switch Test/Light Test shows it is fine. Also with game going I hit it with finger and it works. Looked under playfield and wires seem to be connected.
Only thing I can think is its some sort of grounding issue hence I am the ground that makes it work.
Any ideas. Thanks.

Thanks to Mad Dog. Problem solved. Switch gap needs to be 1 mm or less. Hitting 8 out of 10.
Reality_Studio I would ask Stern for a new switch. Once you start playing with those metal flaps they are never the same.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I have a bunch of extras from a restore job - maybe i'll just pop in some red or purple translucent ones. thanks for confirming this is indeed a thing!
Took mine apart. There is a plastic burr that keeps catching on the button rod. Razor blade it off. Stern probably got a bad batch. Bought a set from Marco and had same problem come to think about it as well so maybe a bad batch went out from Manufacturer

Hello. Just picked up a Premium. Question is do anyone’s GI go dim when in attract. Once I start a game they brighten up.
Also I tried replacing a few Stern LED bulbs with Comet NG and they didn’t work. Does NG not work in Spike. Thanks.
