I looked at PBR. I would think a lot if that would be replaceable but they exclude those EOS switches. Never seem those before and I have three mid 60s Williams games.

Why did they do that?

Quoted from sudsy7:

No, but that's the same thought Steve Young at PBR had when I talked to him about it years ago. It takes about 30 seconds to put a jumper across the NO switch and you now have a regular E.O.S. switch just like any other EM, and you can convert it back to stock if you ever wanted to in 30 seconds by removing the jumper.

Where do the wires on the second switch go? Can't tell from the pictures.

Quoted from MarkG:

Compare the more common normally closed EOS switches in Alpine Club (above) with the make/break EOS switches on Big Chief (below).

In both cases the right half of the coil is the high powered kicking coil that is always active when the flipper button is closed and the left half of the coil is the low power holding coil that gets added into the circuit by the EOS switch at the end of the flipper swing. Jumpering across the normally open part of the switch in the lower example as sudsy7 suggests would make the circuits the same although the flipper coils are different.

So why not just tie the two wires to the n/o side together and use a regular EOS switch for the n/c wires?
