I am half way through a playfield swap and missed a couple pictures. Currently I am needing a shot of the slingshot coils. Especially the switch underneath the coil. Thanks in advance for all the help.

Yes. I needed the color of the wires. Also. The switch when placed is held in an open position but when the coil fires it closes, correct? Thanks
My shuttle is a little buried right now, but looking through my pictures the wires are green\black and white (or white and something), the left sling is green\black and white\purple. Going off of memory I believe you are correct on the switch---Open at rest and closed energized.
Have tons of pics but I won't get home until 6:15p CDT-ish tonight.
There are very few normally CLOSED switches on non-EM's other than optos, FYI. They were useful in EM's where you'd have a hold coil open a switch to have a "memory" function, but once you had solid state memory....not so useful.
I'm about 99.99% sure there are zero NC switches on Shuttle. The coil fires when the switch closes, it doesn't close because the coil fires. Just saying.
Okay I will try to explain this as I see it. The switch is actually a Normally Closed. When the switch is in it's relaxed position it holds it at normally open. When fired, it Closes the switch and then returns to its open position. I will post pictures from my cellphone in just a second.
Yes that is correct. That is your points switch. Coil fires, switches make contact and you get points added.
I appreciate it. That makes since that it is a scoring switch. I didn't know if it was similar to an EOS switch or something else.
More pics needed please. I need some shots of the 3 Drop Target assebly. The solo drop target assemby has springs pushing down and pulling up. I need to see about if it needs those for the three.
Yep, so no springs on the 3 assembly where the single has a spring. Interesting. Can I get a shot of the other side please?
