So while I am replacing my playfield, I broke two switches (see pictures). Not sure where to find them, or even how to figure out the part numbers....or if there is a replacement.
One is down towards the bottom of the PF, near the kickout. It is the black microswitch with the broken middle connector.
The other one is the switch that senses a ball in Rudy's mouth. I melted it when I was re-soldering a connection.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Buy new switches, remove the actuators from the old switches and install on the new switches. It is easy.

Bingo.

Op, The metal actuators on the small black microswitches are "clipped" in. Order these from pinballlife: https://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=830

Then just use a small jewelers screwdriver to pry off the small clips on the metal actuator, and move it to the new switch. They'll just snap right in the new switch body. Just make sure you put it on the right "nubs" on the switch itself.

Thanks very much. BTW, is there a new diode that I should get as well?

If you do, a 1N4001 is on there, I'd use a 1N4004 or 1N4007 though. Those are higher voltage, work fine on switches, and if accidentally put on a coil won't blow crap up.

Quoted from RudyHead:
Pinball Life has the diodes too

thanks for the help. I installed new switches, no problems!
