Was playing a game and all of a sudden my right orbit shots weren't registering. I looked at the switch arm that the ball pushes down when rolled over and it was not there. Raised the playfield and the arm broke off the switch. Anyway, how can I fix this as the switch is attached to a white bracket that holds it to the playfield. It's testing my patience as I've tried to remove the plastic bracket from the switch and It won't come off unless I break it off. Can I solder the arm back on to the switch and will that be a strong enough hold? That might be the easiest way to fix it. If that doesn't work I haven't been able to locate the exact switch with the right arm and I'm guessing that it doesn't come with the plastic bracket. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply. Where are the washers located? Are they the 2 things towards the top of the switch in the pic. One on the left and one on the right side that go over the the white plastic nubs sticking out? Also do you think soldering the arm back on will be a strong enough hold?
