OK I have given up trying to get my sensor adjusted right. It needs to be effectively touching the ball to work right if is off by less than 1mm it will not work and that pretty much happens within a few plays. Does anyone have any recommendations for good replacements out there?

Thanks!

you could mod it yourself too for a lot less than 65$ plus shipping. A 100 ohm pot is cheap

Thanks Lloyd!

Let me know of you have any specific install questions once you get it.
I just installed it on mine. You will need to do some riveting. It is easy.

Pinbits is out so I contacted them to see if they will be making up more. I may go the DIY approach have to think about it and see if I can get a pot or need to order it from overseas. Thanks for the offer LitzDoc I may take you up on it!

I have these red boards in my game, and they work very well.

I have the 2 red boards too. Once I installed them the switch 26 error was fixed for good. Definitely worth the$60 or so.

And of course solder the wires directly to the pcb.
