Hi everyone. I made a boneheaded move, lifting the playfield without removing the ball, and the ball fell onto the motor, and it busted the lifter off of one of the switches. I have both pieces and pics are attached.

Can anyone recommend methods to reattach this lifter to the switch?

PBR has new ones available. You stick the nub in the hole & mushroom end with an old solder tip to secure it in place. Not sure if you will be able to reuse the old one.
I always keep an assortment of different lengths in my parts bin for just such emergencies.

You will have to give him the exact height , it's one item he has no use for a part # but he does have a good assortment of sizes.

I did a temporary hack with some hot melt glue but I know it won't last, was for the index contacts on the score motor

I should have purchased a variety of sizes to have on hand

Thank you chas and dasvis for the prompt replies! I'll look into them at PBR!
