Quoted from TaTa:Interesting...All in on the Shadow Switch
That was one of our first products - we both have Shadow and felt the pain - that was the first MRS that began to stray away from a conventional 'block' design.
Quoted from Mbecker:Ordered a set of the generic inlane/ outlane slot switch replacements and installed them on my homebrew this weekend — they work perfect, really happy with them!
Love to hear it Mike!!

Quoted from swinks:like your work, lots of variations, well done
Thanks man! I tell ya - it took a solid year of experimentation for 2 engineers just to figure out how to make them...they are deceptively complex....and finicky as hell....but we got there...
Matt
Quoted from grantopia:Just installed the left ramp to right diverter replacement on my Shadow and it plays like a whole new game. Took 2 minutes to install and no more missed ramps and skill shots. Super elegant solution...wouldn't hesitate to recommend or buy again!
Thanks man!!

Quoted from Elicash:I bought the Taxi switch for the skill shot bowl.
I highly recommend this!
Fits great. Works perfectly. Really a nice solution to common Taxi issue where it is hard to get enough revolutions in the skill shot.
By installing the switch, you can eliminate any “drag” the traditional switch causes that may slow down ball on skill shot. I have owned a couple years now. This is a good product.
Thanks for the kind words boys!

Quoted from crujones4life:Do you have a switch for the u turn shot on Mando? The shot is so important and too many times the switch does not actuate. Many complaints on Mando thread. Can you help us Mando owners out?
I've had 2 inquires about this to date P1nhead and
JonCBrand - no orders.....we do have a solution - it's pretty straightforward - a standard rollover MRS.....

Quoted from Jump:Deleted —> wrong topic, sorry
No problem - you still ordered some MRS' anyway : )
Thanks Andre!

Quoted from play_pinball:Finally got around to installing my Shadow left ramp MRS. It'll be at TPF!
Very nice!!! Thank you!!

Quoted from TheOnlyest:Dumb question but, all the neon colors are for illustration purposes? all the switches come black like the Diner one I got from your very first batch?
If those rollovers fit and work well in B/W system 11 & WPC games, I think you may very well change the whole world of pinball!! Especially when it comes to the handful of games with rollover wireforms that are unobtainium!
Correct - they are in black....we do the color stuff for visualization - and you are correct about rollovers - we have built nearly 1000 so far...it's been nuts!!

Quoted from bartron:I have bought both the Shadow and the Creature reed switches. No ball hang on Shadow and a minimum 5 spins on Creech
Fantastic products
Buy with confidence
Only 5?!? Mine is 12-13!! So to do that - remember to level the bowl (left to right), raise the front to back as level as you can and still slide the glass....and lastly you can adjust the wireform into the bowl to maximize trajectory....do those things and I think you'll double your current count....it so cool when it goes around 10x's!

Quoted from crujones4life:https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/this-is-the-way-the-mandalorian-owners-club/page/91
See post #4526 for my review of the MRS used to replace the switch in Mando UTURN shot.
Thanks man!!!

Quoted from hank527:Definitely need some. Did you do anything for Iron Maiden?
Sure can - just send me a PM and tell where on IM you have a problem...

Quoted from tktlwyr:I recently installed a universal rollover on the problematic upper, right orbit on my AFMr. After trying multiple switches and incessant tweaking, this is the only solution that has been 100%! I’m giving my second one to friend who has the same issue that I HAD.
Hats off to the M&M Creations crew![quoted image]
Sorry for the delay in response...I didn't see the post until now...thanks for the testimonial my friend - I love to read about success!!
Thanks for your patronage.

We sell directly... Just PM me....
Thanks!
Matt
Quoted from Kevlar51:Here’s the best endorsement I can give—I had the same issues on my AFM as tktlwyr with the right orbit. Just installed a couple universal MRS rollovers and it not only solved it, but on my very first game with them I ruled the universe—first time ever for me!
Awesome testimonial...I wish it was the magic of MRS'.... But it is your skill.... Maybe we should call them MaRS'.....
Matt
Quoted from LORDDREK:For custom or homebrew applications how close does the sensor face need to be? Could you get away with hiding it under the playfield with maybe an 1/8” of wood between?
3mm.... No problem!
Matt
Quoted from Vitty:Tried installing one of these on the right loop shot on stranger things as it has a tendancy to not register. Every time the coil fires to move the demogorgan it trips this MRS switch. I can only surmise that there is an EM field around the coil and the switch is close enough in proximity to trip. Anyone experience this yet? Other than this it is awesome and registers every time. Wish I could find a way around this to use it.
As explained in email....you bought it for Rush - which is set for a very sensitive detection (8mm) - for ST - we likely would have set it for 6mm (the nominal MRS sensitivity setting).... the less sensitive detection, less sensitive to EMI....so try rotating it in it's slot 180degrees first...and then let's see some pics of what you are looking at. We've not sold an MRS for ST before - so this is the first application we've addressed. You may require some shielding tape...or a less sensitive MRS.

Quoted from Pin-Bob:I'm thinking I can make one of the universal switches work for the rocket ramp on Party Zone, which has very finicky switch placement. Anyone do that yet? There should be enough room to stick it on the side of the ramp. Are they a simple two wire hookup? Diode, no diode?
Just PM me a pic of the location and we can tell your for sure if our MRS would work...and you don't have to worry about the diode...we likely would need you to tell us how long the lead wires are and to check if it is terminated into a 2-pin Molex - but what you would get is something that will self-adhere to the ramp and plug & play away...

Quoted from pindel:Perfect solution for the star rollover’s. Especially with new playfields where the star will not move freely no mater what you do. This fixed Eight Ball Deluxe.
[quoted image]
Great pic!! Thanks for the thumbs up!
Matt
Quoted from grantopia:Did the same with my EBD about 2 weeks ago because the roll over was either not registering, or being too sensitive when adjusted and registering off pop bumper hits. Problem solved!
Thanks for the testimonial!!
Matt
Quoted from Nhpolarbear:Easy to do business with and fast delivery. I purchased as a backup to my xenon game. It can be a very finicky switch and also is something you would have to engineer if the wire form were to break.
I still would like to hear from someone who actually installed in a Xenon or any other Bally SS issue from 77-81.
Hi George, feel free to contact Kderrick
jbovenzi
mrm_4 for feedback - they've purchased MRS' for their Xenon's....
Matt
Oh yeah , those button rollovers - forgot about those....it's unlikely, but got a pic from below you can share?
Matt
Quoted from Lobo2k:I have that exact problem.... except mine never register no matter what, if it goes left to right. Right to left works about 4/5 shots. Very frustrating, I took it apart, looks fine. Can't figure out what the issue is. Worked fine for 200+ games now never works.
We sure do...for both Hallo and Ultra Man...yes...
Just PM me
Matt
Quoted from Hypercoaster:Do you think it will ever be possible to replace optos with these? Like say in ST TNG?
It is.... The functionality is already possible... It's the implementation that will require the effort... How to fit an MRS into a location that had a vastly different approach to detect a ball..... So each opto application may require a unique body design
Quoted from broada:On a similar note, have you all looked at developing MRS spinners? Would be great to be able to swap out arm-switch spinners for something that freely spins like opto spinners do.
We have been....it's a little technically tricky - but it's on the list of things to develop!
Matt
Quoted from waletboy:Installed switches on my Pinbot ramp and they work great! No more issues!
[quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks man!!!
Just call me (you should have my number, it's on all of our instructions - if not PM me for it)....I don't show record of your purchase of star rollovers in the past - so I'm at a loss as to what you have....so just hit me up...our tech support is exemplary...
Matt
Quoted from cmdestin:Hi can I buy a Lebowski scoop switch?
You certainly can...... Just PM for logistics.... Thanks
Matt
Quoted from izzy:Hi, do you know if your switch works with the LollyPops board?
Depends on the application in particular - but yes!
I can't see why it should be an issue - if you can snap some pics and PM me with them - I can be double-sure!
Matt
Quoted from Crazysurfkid:WHY have I only just seen these?! Looks an amazing solution.
We've been making them, going on, 3 years now!
Magnets are indeed a part of an MRS construction....they are used to keep the reed in stasis....
Matt
Depends on many factors including physical size of the MRS as well as sensitivity, and spatial proximity in each axis...practical purposes they can be right next to each other....
Matt
Quoted from usul27:Any chance to see these for the LOTR sword ramp?
Sure... What is the problem with you ramp?
Matt
Quoted from riggy469:Have you guys figured out if you have any design that will function properly to replace the three sanctum lock switches?
Not yet, but it's on the whiteboard still...
Matt
Quoted from Sonic:[quoted image]
I had to....Magic aside, it's simply embedded in the internal circuit...
Matt
Quoted from AMartin56:Any plans for something to replace the left ramp entrance opto on Stern Jurassic Park? The ball goes slightly airborne at times and fails to break the full opto beam. People are blocking the bottom half of the opto with tape etc.
You certainly can.... You simply have to interface the MRS to the opto board switch matrix connection.... Which others have done in Jurassic Park for other locations..... Otherwise the MRS simply adheres to the ramp entrance.... You then splice the 2 wires.....
Matt
Quoted from audihere:I want to buy a magnetic reed switch for the upper right orbit rollover switch on Spooky TNA. Which one do I need and how to I order it?
Just PM me.... I'll take your order

Quoted from tgarrett09:If you can ever figure out how to make a replacement switch for the terrible spoon switches on the Iron Maiden newton balls you would make a whole lot of owners very happy!
I have not heard of this before.... Do you have pics to share?
Ahh....same as a pop....we can look at this - but don't hold your hopes....this would be very tricky to MRS.....
Matt
Quoted from broada:Great work on this! Hard to tell how the drag compares to a standard spinner - does this rival an opto spinner?
Most definitely does...it's frankly surprising....and, guess what we did today....Tales From The Crypt got it's MRS spinner today! Game takes 3, but man they are tricky to get to!
Matt
Quoted from KoolFingers:How do you order these? Did not see a website anywhere.
You simply PM me my man.....
Matt
Quoted from slochar:There should be less drag on the spinner itself so it would spin more.
This will vary though depending on the game if its able to keep up - gottlieb system 1 can't when you change a plastic spinner to the metal type. Other early games might have issues as well... needs to be tested.
Yep...and on Airborne - I love to hit Mach 3 on that spinner - and with the conventional setup - there was too much drag - the spins improve about 50% from some very simple observations I've made by eliminating the physical connection....
Matt
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Can these switches be used to replace that ugly switch on my TS CE next to bo peep? (left ramp?)
I'm not too familiar with TS...message me a pic if you can - or post here a pic - let's see what you got....
Matt
Quoted from The_Director:Our Bond opto 77 in the back for the jet pack ramp started being spotty. We reflowed and it’d come back for awhile and then just went out completely. Anyway, you can’t find the opto set (also used in Mando) to save your life. MRS came to the rescue and it works like a charm!
[quoted image][quoted image]
Very cool.... Thanks for the opportunity to help....
Matt
Quoted from MR-808:Have you considered casting the star rollover switches in translucent plastic to reduce the shadow on the insert?
Negative, simply because you'd still have the components and epoxy that would cast a shadow from beneath...plus quite a few folks put the plastic star back in place - which largely obscures the MRS as well...
Possible - for the turn - it looks like it would have to be over the top...is that gate directional though - meaning is it affecting the ball travel differently one direction versus the other? Also, are the ball guides there magnetic?
For the ball lock would need to see a pic from underneath to properly assess...
Quoted from sethbenjamin:No; the gate registers that you made the shot from either direction. My thought was that you could stick the magnet under the gate. If there needed to be more clearance for the ball with the mag switch under the gate, the gate could always be raised some.
The ball guides in my machine are reproductions and are non-ferrous. So they won’t interfere with the mag switch.
Here’s a pic from underneath the ball lock. It’s kind of a cluster fudge, but there are 3 switches - one for the saucer and 2 more that register from metal armatures for the 2nd and 3rd locked balls.
My initial thought was to keep the first switch standard, but to try to use mag switches in the other 2 spaces. Could the rollover style mag switches be used here?
No pic attached?
For the gate - how wide is it there and is the gate magnetic itself? If not - we indeed may be able to put something underneath it....thus one other measurement - what is the gap from the top of the ball, to the bottom of the gate...
Matt
So we do have something that can go over head - it has a hole for a bolt on one side and would span across over the top - you'd kill the gate/bracket entirely....at the side it would bolt to - you would put a hex spacer or similar post to allow the MRS to go up/down for optimal detection you typically want a good 5mm between the ball and MRS....the gate as it sits now (being magnetic first off) offers no space for an MRS... if the ball is 1-1/16" that leaves 5/16" for the MRS to fit ( the MRS is 4/16") so no clearance at all....
The ball lock we've seen before in other pins and MRS' have been utilized - we have small MRS's that typically fit (it would be 2) in that long slot - can you verify how long that slot is? There are diodes on both as well as the gate?
Matt
I think we have a solution to all three switches....the leaf on the cup has to remain of course...but the others for the gate and slot - I think we have MRS'.....
Matt
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:Do you make a shooter lane switch? Seems like one of the most important switches in any game and they’re always getting bent out of shape or making it so the ball doesn’t rest correctly on the auto launch forks and or shooter rod tip.
We do.... But can depend on the pin
Likely....just would need a pic to get a look at the what's going on's from underneath....we've done shooters for other spooky pins - so likely no different...I seem to recall someone in the past asking...maybe we even did it...but I'd have to peruse my records to see - it certainly would have been one time at best....
Matt
Quoted from ViperJelly:I think Labyrinth is a great candidate for your switches Matt. They did wonders for my R&M and I see some hang ups in Labyrinth that would be eliminated with your solution. I would buy a set for sure. If you need pics or anything else please let me know.
John
Please send along pics both topside and bottom side of the locations... Let's take a look...
Matt
Quoted from Spunky1562:Do have anything for Batman Forever?
Sure... Just depends on what location on the pin....
