Could you post a pic of the switch? What's broken?

you've tried cleaning the contacts and adjusting the switch? The coil does fire correctly when you use a jumper to short around the switch?
Barring someone coming up with a Chicago Coin replacement part number, drawing and/or source...
Can you post other angles of the switch? The solder tabs, the individual switch leaves, contacts. Is that bottom blade bifurcated (forked)?
Yes, it should be forked. Assuming no one can come up with a MacGuyver-ish solution, your best bet is to either find the CC part number and a source, cobble together equivalent switch leaves from other sources and make a new switch, OR fix this one.
On the fix this one path - do the switch leaves look broken? Do they have switch contacts mounted on the blades? Are those contacts clean?
I'm having trouble reading this CC schematic, is a page missing? Looking for the wire colors of the switch leaf that fires the kickout coil...
Maybe I don't understand Chicago Coin switches... make/breaks should have 4 leaves, correct? The lowest switch and the 2nd from the top have three leaves, yet are make/breaks? Does Chicago Coin have double sided contacts?
It looks like they're using the tit of the contact for a second contact?
The theory (for your original issue) is that there is something wrong in the circuit that HowardR redlined for you. To make progress, we need you to locate the components on that circuit path in your machine and then use the jumpering techniques from the links that HowardR also included in his post (in your previous thread) to identify the component(s) that is/are failing.
The components that need to be located include playfield switches, motor switches, relays, and the particular switches on a given relay. Clues as to the locations of theses components are given on the schematic, labels in the machine and wire colors (to positively identify/verify a particular switch or relay).
If you're not comfortable doing this, or learning how to do it, maybe you could find a friend or a local pinball enthusiast to help... because we definitely need the boots on the ground to do the testing and accurately describe the results.
