Riddle me this...

I'm looking to replace this very icky-looking switch on my "Haunted House" table but I'm not sure of the exact part number.

The switch appears to resemble this switch available at Marco:

http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/B-17838

The part number in the schematics lists the current switch as #B-18079 but the corresponding switch from Marco is listed for a replacement flipper switch, #B-17838.

Would the 17838 switch work as a replacement?

The switch is actually working fine, but I'm in the process of a complete overhaul and the lower aspect of the switch looks very disgusting and I'd like to replace it.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice so far Dynamite and viperrwk.

Attached is a zoomed-out photo of the left and right side of the playfield.

The right-side has very different switch contacts so I'm thinking the ones on the right should probably be the same model on the left.

There's this "stand-up bracket" switch via Marco for sale:

The description of it as a "slingshot" switch kit makes it seem like this one is more appropriate. Right?

Then again, I'll probably give Mr. Steve Young a holler on Wednesday afternoon and see what he thinks.

Correction.

I meant to say that I'm thinking this switch on the left should probably be the same as the two switches on the right-hand-side?

Quoted from viperrwk:

Though the manual (p 49) lists the part numbers for the 10pt switch and the right side kicker switch as being the same - B18079. It also has one switch labeled "Kicking rubber" as B18808. Without looking at the specific switches I can't say which ones go where.

Right. That was my main source of confusion last night as well. I was looking at the part list in the manual and couldn't see a difference even though the part numbers were the same.

The current switches are working fine actually. I was just tempted to order some new ones since the machine was in a current tear-down state.

Thanks for the help everyone.
