While troubleshooting the score motor on another issue I came across attached 2D switch stack that had a broken "cam follower" (dont know what it is called) and one of the switch leafs had a contact missing. It looks like the previous owner had tried to bend leafs so they sort of worked, and they sort of did, but I had inconsistent target resets and bonus scoring (was awarding 4000 dbl bonus when should be 2000) which these 2D switches help control. I did a temp fix clamping some copper sheet onto the switches to help with contact and to act as temp cam follower, which has resolved reset and bonus issues. So my question is: how do I permanently repair this whole switch stack and follower? I couldnt find it on Marco (or Google for that matter) doing general searches for Gottlieb switches or targeted searches tor 2D motor switch. Also not sure if I need to buy switch and cam follower seperately but I cant find either. I would appreciate any guidance on how people find these obscure switches/parts!

There are a few choices so you may need help from someone who has one.

It's the 9349 switch... my game had the same malady... i've also seen several TAs at shows with this problem... that switch gets hammered over time, so it typically breaks clean, so eyeballing it won't reveal the break most of the time..

Ordered mine from PBR, they have them.
