Here are two pics after the welding...Not so sure that the right side was to be flattened and welded all the way up but that's what he did ( I actually asked him to do that for strength).
Put all the switches and coils back on it, installed it back under the playfield.
Works great but I think now that the "mouth" is not as wide as it once was, definitely makes for a harder scoop shot. Also get a lot more "CLACK" as the ball strikes the two upper scoop edges.
Which is why I want to put some protection there.
Don't think it'll break again or at least for a long time!

Yeah, that right side shouldn't have been flattened and welded all the way up..Oh My Gorsch! I definitely missed that one (not enough research)...Gonna make it more challenging for sure!
