Anyone know what size the EOS switch on Atari solenoid flippers is or where to buy new ones? I have one that is really flaky and leaves me with nothing but the hold coil active a lot of times.

Found one that was marked, so the one that failed is a replacement, I think.
It says it's a Cherry 15A E34 with 3 leads.
Not having luck with the usual places. Ebay has some E34s with 2 leads, so I haven't found one yet that has the right looking lever as well.

Hi ThatOneDude, on my Space Riders machine I measure 2 1/8 inches from sandwich section to tip, not including the solder terminals.
Here is a reference (no stock): https://flippers.com/catalog_oc/end-of-stroke-switch-lh-or-rh-p-1909.html?search=atari%20stroke
I see a variety of replacement brands like Gottlieb/Bally/Williams, but very few sources specify the length.
Hope this helps.

ThatOneDude Check with these guys: http://www.pbresource.com/ - they have a page at: http://www.pbresource.com/buttswit.html - nothing listed tied to Atari that I could tell but maybe they can point you in the right direction? When I had to do some work on these recently I did end up buying one of these ebay.com link: itm (before I learned about PBR) and ended up doing some modifications.
Thank you for the advice. I've got a friend parting out another atari playfield, and I think he has some switches i can use. Thanks again!
