What is the "Y" activator? I'm actually having a similar issue with my Fishtales and I want to take a peek.

Quoted from yoshootme:

hey Mike, I ran a ball thru the fish house during switch edge and there was no activation. I am confused as to how the pop up works tho. is there an opto switch I am not seeing? I bought a switch leaf switch "Y" activator but I guess it was the wrong switch?? (SW-1A-167, A-11658-1)The solenoid tests good.
so anyhow, if I run the ball into the fish house and there is no sound indicating any switch activation I am assuming i need a new switch? but which one? I only see a solenoid that would hit the ball popper. what am i missing? thanks Mike!

Found it! Thanks! The little roll pin that holds it to the plunger was partway out so it wasn't making good contact.

Quoted from pinmike:

It's a switch in the shape of a Y or U that goes right on top of that coil that kicks the ball into the reel
