Quoted from j_m_:

chris, what's the purpose of this nail inside of the rubber ring arrangement behind the switch on the joker poker?
[quoted image]

The nails in older games do a few things:

It keeps the ball from getting trapped if the wrong size rubber is installed, while still allowing full switch blade travel (for self cleaning action).

On really large plastics, the installed nails are taller and keep the plastics from sagging from the bulb heat.

Stainless Steel finishing nails polish up as nice replacements.

OP
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

The door solution is to tap and run a stainless screw through the holes

Excellent solution Chris.

The finer the threads, the more holding power they have (important in thin material) and the less "thread gap" when ground flush.

So if you home viewers are doing a plug and grind on a hole that takes, let's say a #10 stainless bolt, you would choose the #10-32 rather than the coarser thread #10-24 bolt.

First number is the size of the bolt (#10)

Second number is the amount of threads per inch (32 TPI)

OP
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Yeah the thought of that and no proper silverball target is what haunts me this Halloween.

You could drill a hole in a real pinball, then remove a slice to make a life time target face.

OP
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

Thought about doing something like that.
Could probably take the target face and a real ball to a machine shop and have it done nice and clean.

Get a bunch made.

If people are paying $50 for a plastic one that will chip in a few days, everyone would order a real metal one.

Would look great on SBM too
