Hi, anyone else have a problem with their stern lockdown bar button not engaging the tab?

The lockdown button isn’t engaging the gold strip correctly. Seems like it’s just not getting enough force/width to fully engage it. When I take the bar off and use my finger it’s fine but when I put the bar on it doesn’t work. Sometimes i manage to get it for a bit but when I lockdown the bar it’s off again. I look from underneath from the coin door and the gold strip is engaged when pushing down on the button. Makes no sense . Any advice?

I don't have one to check.

The switch - is it a leaf blade switch like this ? Only the whole blade is flat, no loop on the end ?

If so, adjust the blade up a little, bend it past the body of the switch so you don't effect the green knob going into the switch body.

LTG : )

Just bend the switch slightly with your fingers. Do it slow and try out the bar each time you do it.

Got it! Thanks for the help. First unobstructed game finally

I had to lift up, straighten and smooch all the tabs together to get them all engaged . Straight out the box problem. But I’m happy that it’s the only thing I noticed so far.
