The opto switches on my Williams Slugfest have been bastardized. The HR has 3 switches one each L, C, R field. The problem is someone substituted and of the opto switches with a micro switch. The 2 opto switches do not work. The micro switch does but it looks like the by passed the opto board in order to make the micro switch work. I will also post pictures. I have not used the machine in a while but as I recall all switches worked at one time. Where do I start. I have posted pics.

This is a toughie as I have recently started restoring my slugfest. I have a finicky ramp opto and a bleacher opto. I can understand the temptation to ditch the opto for a physical switch.
If you can find the parts I recommend restoring to the original opto configuration.
