Fixing up a #Stellar Wars and getting through a long list of problems. Now that all the boards are up and running I am trying to tackle a problem with the leaf switch in the trough. The switch itself works when I manually make contact. However, the wire the ball is supposed to trip to activate the switch doesn't look like the right part. There is a picture attached of the wire and switch from my machine and a drawing from the Williams parts catalog.

Any thoughts on replacing with a newer microswitch? Were there different shapes/designs for these? Even if mine got bent so it fit in the trough to be activated by the ball, it looks like it could only separate the leaf switch, not make contact...maybe someone wired this up wrong?

Well, that solves that mystery! Now that I know where everything is going and how it should actuate this shouldn't be too hard to bend and get back in.
