Couple questions…
Orbit ball diverter busted off (see pic)
Is this the right part?

I’m a noob at pin repairs and lifted the playfield to look at the post and it’s attached to a selonoid. What do I do next to fix this? Do I need to remove the solenoid to get the old post out? thx guys!
Quoted from gBass:That is the correct part. The diverter rod is held into place with a set screw in the mechanism under the playfield. Super unobstructed and easy to get at. I can send you a pic of the mech from the manual if you don’t have it.
Thx for the response! So it’s just a screw holding the diverter rod in place? I only glanced at it for a few seconds. First time lifting the playfield…
I will order the part. Seems easy…
Update: so when installing the diverter post, I dropped the set screw and totally lost it (ahhh!). Went to Home Depot, tried to find a match but it didn’t fit. Does anyone have any leads or know if this is it? (It looks just like it.) thx!

Okay those set screws also didn’t fit (ahhhh!). Diverter post still not secured in and doesn’t move when fired. Anyone have any leads on these set screws?
hey guys… noob again. I got another one, glove is working in all directions but won’t release ball. When I bought it off guy, guy gave me a switch and said replace switch and it should work. I took off glove and found switch area, one wire is ripped. What do I do… just swap out wires and add new switch in? Anyone have a link for new wires? Thx!

I reattached. Ball still not releasing until ball search gets activated. Would this rule out the balls being magnetized if it consistently drops during ball search? Should I change switch next? Thx
