Is it worth the hassle? Most definitely for that era of Williams. Most people never realize how many issues in that era come from leaf switches that were assembled incorrectly from the factory. A lot of them had one leaf upside down, which caused the back side of the rivet to wear off the gold plating, and thus require way too much cleaning to keep them functional.

Quoted from swampfire:I found several leaf switches riveted (or assembled) backwards; it's crazy that it took me 16 years to figure it out.
Don't feel bad, Williams shipped tens of thousands of games in that condition.
