My Bally Star Trek runs pretty nicely now except for one thing: no matter how I adjust them, the rollover stars work for a while and then stop scoring. I'm guessing they've been adjusted too many times.
I've taken a look at some of the main shops, but I'm not sure what to order. Is it this? https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/ASW-A1-162
Very grateful for any hints.
Inspect the contacts closely. There should be gold plating on them... if it's gone, you need new switches. Leaf switches as long as they aren't mangled last a very long time I don't think it's worn out re: adjustment. However, the plating often has been compromised on that era machine necessitating replacement.
Roll over buttons need to have a capacitor installed on them. If it's never been replaced, now is a great time to do so.
The link you gave shows the wrong switch, that's a saucer kickout switch. Also, it's out of stock.
Planetary pinball has the parts manuals online to check, but they are scrambled on my system and I'm not installing flash.
You can also pull your old switch out and measure the blades and just order those.
