Previous owner of my project Paragon had assembled both drop target banks wrong, such that the solenoid plungers couldn't move. (The targets were stuck in the up position - yeah, your guess is as good as mine on what they were thinking). I've reassembled them correctly but I noticed the inline drops have switch stacks with two sets of contacts per target. See the pic. No way this is correct on a SS Bally, right? I think it should just have a single set of contacts for each target, same as the 3-target bank on the other side of the playfield. Only the next-to-last target scores. All the other pf switches work so I figure it's just mis-wired and misadjusted, and not an MPU switch matrix issue. Anyway I want to fix it with the right parts before I try to troubleshoot it. The switch stack screws are slotted, not Phillips, which makes me think some Gottlieb EM switches might have been installed. In which case they're not gold-plated (or maybe they were but whoever did this decided to file them, hopefully not something they did to all the other switches.)

Switches look correct, screws no. Mine:
