    Has anyone other than myself purposely switched the flipper cherry switchs for the older wiper blade switches. I did on every single pin that uses a cherry switch on the flipper button...I did it and quite happy with the results. Cherry switch....equals....two...states...On flipper....Off flipper....give me wiper blade sensitivity....ill save more balls...flip with more recoil...can pulse the ball...i mean caress the ball gently. So i ask......w.t.f. Did they switch That Switch to a cheezy cherry i want to stick and wear out switch? If it ain't broke do not fix it! I know...it was Costs!

    But.....if you want to be a great pinball player....take that mongolian switch on the flippers and rework them with the older assemblies...trust me on this one! Sorta like prepower steering days when ya could feel the road in your hands. With blade assemblies one can breathe on the ball, bunt, stun. walk,flip,backflip....you name it i can do it with blade switch....i cannot achieve this professional play with a cherry flipper switch.....so i changed every one i had out to the older method.

    Hmmm...its a subtle but huge difference. I can raise or lower a flipper in tempo with a ball. Essentially rolling it up down up down never hitting end of stroke....i cant do it with any other switch! Maybe it just jay.....
