Below are two photos – one from my Quick Draw that’s in my collection, and then the other, with the marked circle, from the Quick Draw I’m restoring. I was going through the board with the credit unit on it to see if it had been set for free play by its previous owner. I took the picture and noticed that the white plastic “nub” (not sure what you call it) seems to be pushed out further than the one on my other Quick Draw is (the other picture). As a result, it appears to be mashing both switches closed.

I know I will want that inside switch bent closed, as I’ve done on the game in my collection, so that the game will be set for free play. I wasn’t sure if it was a problem if that the outer switch is also mashed closed – and moreover, is it normal that that white plastic “nub“ is sticking out that far? If not, how do I get it back into place? I can’t seem to move it.

Quoted from Darcy:

Have you tried to add or subtract games, as the two drive ratchets move, that end of the 'Drive Ratchet" should move in or out. The two ratchets rotate and the adjoining edges have a cam shape, which extends or retracts the whole white ratchet assembly as it adds or subtracts credits.

Ok thanks. I’m an idiot. When the drive ratchet pulls back it looks like my other Quick Draw currently does and also reveals that the inner switch has not yet been bent shut into the always-closed position for free play.

Thank you!
