Where in the world can one find a circuit board for the two switches for the mulitball lock?
So what has happened is that both of the lock switches on my rollergames got broken, so no problem right? I ordered two new switched from marco specialties, they come in and they arent right, the pins arent spaced out properly so they dont fit onto the ckt board. I am completely lost. I contacted marco specialties and they told me the switch is an updated design and they dont carry the old style switch anymore. So they cant get me the switches that fit the ball lock circuit board, i have no idea what to do now...
So cherry no longer makes the DA3 switch, it has been updated to the DB3 switch which has the pins too far apart to go through my circuit board... any ideas what i can do to make it work? I just bought the pin and already cant play it.

Looks like you might have to get creative when mounting the switch. To get that switch to work carefully drill a small hole through the PCB to accommodate the center leg and run a small jumper over to the pad where the old one went through. I just checked my game and thete appears to be room to do this. Im assuming the end legs line up properly with the existing holes?
If the center pin wasnt there, the end legs might match but thats a very big might... It doesnt look like they will, looks like they will be just a tad bit too short
But the outer two pins dont fit in the outer holes, thats my concern. one does but the other doesnt.
I would bend the pins on the switch rather than drilling holes in the circuit board. You could extend them pretty easily as well if needed.
You might want to test that switch with a multi-meter as well before replacing it. Mine was not working as well, and turned out to be cold solder joints instead of the switch itself.
