Round Rock, TX
U in ZUSE in Tron, the Cyclops entrance in XMen, and POTC has a few troublesome ones as well.
I will comment more after I see 85vett's, hoping this can be installed without unsoldering the switch.

Quoted from 85vett:This is so awesome seeing an idea come to light. I took it straight to Tim as I knew he could do it well and in a way to be affordable. Sure hope it works as well as planned. If so, we may be able to say goodbye to crooked targets forever
Big thanks to mezel mods for listening and helping make this come to light.
I'm wide open to test tomorrow if they arrive!
85vett was nice enough to bring his first engineering sample over today. After installation, which requires no soldering, just 2-3 minutes of switch assembly, he, labnip, and I proceeded to play the snot out of the game. I don't know how many plays we put on, but it had to be more than 30, and inspection afterwards shows no wear of the splint, and definitely no shifting of the target.
85vett's going to install in a couple other games soon, but as of right now I'm going to order one for each similar stand up target I have.
Sorry - here is an after pic of the playfield. The left target (by Xavier) is the one that's fixed. This is taken after banging on it during those games. This target is very susceptible given that it is hit in a cross shot from the upper as well as the lower flipper. Note the closer target is off center - it needs one too.
I really can't wait until these get into production - That other Xmen target and all my iron man drones will get the lockdown.
after2.jpgIf this ends up been cost effective, I'd seriously cover every single switch it fits. Why not?
if IIRC, POTC had a particularly troubling switch as well. Here is a pic from IPDB - I remember having to shift several of these often when I owned it.
image-37.jpgIt fit mine in the pic above, but zero tolerance between. A smaller foot print would be nice, but hurry up 
.... I was just playing IM tonight and wished the target blocking the center spinner hadn't been leaning over.
Quoted from iDD:perfect - now just to confirm - xmen-pro & tron - only require the 1 piece splint ?
Yes. I have the one piece on my xmen. Almost certain same type target on tron.
