The washer is to keep the nut from vibrating loose? I'd think that way of installing the nut is better since it'll cut into the wood...

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:The nut seems to be correct to me also. The extra washer and screw is interesting. I haven't seen that before but Stern isn't what I normally work on. I've never had a flipper button work itself loose before. Seems like overkill to me.
At our local barcade I've seen it happen three times. Stern and Williams
Quoted from Squeakman:Its called a cheap hack! Straight from the factory.
Cheap as opposed to what? Cheap would be not having the washer at all
Quoted from Reaper802:But if the stock nut were flipped around wouldn't this become a non issue?
Why would it?
Quoted from Reaper802:Orders of magnitude more surface area pressed against the cabinet?
soft round flat area vs hard edges? I think this way would turn less anyway
But either way they're gonna loosen over time
