Quoted from adamw:Yeah. That's what I was thinking. But now I have to find a replacement and then figure out how to do soldering while it is on the playfield without getting solder on anything else.
When you replace the switch, clip off the wires to the old switch so that you're removing all of that crappy stuff. Lay a towel on the area underneath the switch and solder the wires to the new switch. shouldn't take more than 10 minutes with a proper soldering iron and solder.
Side note, that's a shitty soldering job.
