Quoted from pinheadpierre:

In the process of rebuilding my Funhouse. I’ve been replacing all of the Cherry switches as I go. Just came to this switch at the end of a wireform and noticed that the white wire is on the banded side of the diode whereas all the others do far have been the opposite. I’m assuming this has been miswired forever? Unless someone here says otherwise, I’m writing this up with white on the non-banded side of the diode.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

My white wire goes to the non-banded side as well.

Quoted from Mofkoel:

Yup - should be on the other leg.

Quoted from TheOnlyest:

The green wire is correct, the white wire is on the wrong lug, and the diode is backward. The switch is basically wired as always closed instead of always open, but will still send a semi-correct signal to the CPU for a split second when its hit. I highly doubt that it was wired that way from the factory.

Quoted from TheOnlyest:

... and the diode is backward.

Quoted from Mofkoel:

I'm not sure I agree with that. The diode band is on the lug farthest away from the other two lugs on the switches. For pinheadpierre's switch it is just the white wire that is on the wrong lug.

Hi guys, follow up, was able to install the trap door plastic with a little tweaking. The two screws in the back are slightly off, but seem to install fairly flat. Only issue is that the back screw seems to be in the ball path and the screw is not completely flush with the plastic. Would this be a potential issue? Looks like the ball would hop when it hits the screw and now is the time to fix it if it’s a problem.
Should I take it out and file out more of the plastic to make the screw sit flush or you think it’s ok? Thanks![quoted image][quoted image]

Nice color choices on the posts!

Quoted from JoeJet:

Thanks. I need to get a yellow one but generally matching playfield colors[quoted image]

Quoted from JoeJet:

One more question for the night.
In this area - anyone know what goes here?
The ramp lands here and my pics only show it installed so don’t see what’s under it and my old playfield has a larger hole.
(That’s an old ramp I am replacing!)[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Its for the Cliffy.
I highly recommend the FULL set.

Quoted from JoeJet:

Ooooooo. Been so focused on the install forgot about these! I purchased the mantis hole protectors, I found them preferable when there is no damage vs cliffs to cover damage and sometimes they can affect the shot. I need to check out what cliffys I have also. Think I bought a set but forget what was included will check tonight . For the holes on a new playfield would the mantis protectors be enough for the scoops?

Quoted from Zee:

Mine has a post there that supports the main ramp and switch gate. Here are photos from the teardown (22 years ago):

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Did you add or install the front stop bracket that goes at the front of the trapdoor hole?
Very many games are missing this important factory update.
Its manditory to keep from breaking the trapdoor hinge off.

Quoted from JoeJet:

Thanks man. Didn’t know this existed and my game doesn’t have it. Ordering now.
Thanks.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

Here's a picture of the trap door rest piece installed...
