Games were going fine, then it just stopped detecting the ball in the vuk after a made garage shot.

I took the vuk off from the bottom and tested the switch. Unlike other switches it makes a sound in the switch test mode when it goes down AND comes up, other switches only make the "plink" sound when they go down. Solder points looked ok but I didn't do a super thorough examination all the way back. I bent the arm some and put it back, still acting kind of flaky.

Should I

1) Bend arm more
2) decide switch is probably fine and look for connectivity issues
3) Say F this and order a new vuk switch.

I bent the shit out of it and it seems good now. Still weird that it registers for both up and down in the switch test, but it holds as closed when down and the game is working now.
