Quoted from ImNotNorm:Got a question...
The EOS switch for the flippers has a piece of light black cardboard in between the switch blades.
Would you ever remove the cardboard from them?
This I believe is called the dampening blade. Here's the write up from Clay's site.
Damping (Pre-Tensioner) Switch Blade.
On playfield switches, there is a third, shorter switch blade sandwiched between the two contact blades. This damping or pre-tensioner blade provides support to one of the contact blade, so the switch doesn't "bounce", and so more spring tension is provided. But sometimes these damping blades get bent and short out to the other adjacent blade. Be aware of this. When you adjust a switch with a damping blade, you must adjust both the short contact blade and the damping blade together.
