Dear Lloyd


I am trying to replace the tunnel switch in this game due to erratic behavior. Its listed as switch A-12238 in the switch list, but I cant locate this switch. I assume I could remove the arm and place on a new switch as long as this switch is the same as the original- is that correct and if so how do I locate a number for the micro switch.

Dear Ali Baba


If it's one of the arms that snaps on, yes - easy to swap to a new body.


Just a micro mini switch. You can even unsnap an arm on a existing one and reuse the body.


Here is the switch :


Original easy push no longer made - http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=1860


Medium push - http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=830


Either of these will work fine in your game. The kind sold by Radio Shack and others are hard push, won't work in pinball.
