Several years ago, I put the 2.2 uf @ 250 capacitors on the end of stroke switches on an 8 Ball Deluxe as well as some .1 uf @ 500 volts ceramic disc capacitors on the cabinet flipper button switches. Made a big difference in the sparking for sure. Almost no sparking at all.

If you are experimenting, use some alligator clip leads to connect everything. Saves a lot of time and effort soldering/unsoldering. Once you are happy with what works, then you can solder everything.
