Hi Vid,

So I just got my first pin (Space Station) and the left flipper is mega weak. I started reading about this rebuild, and I'm on board. I was adding the kit to my cart when I noticed I have what some of these others have, some kind of double switch? What is the reason for it? And does this update mean I now go to a single leaf switch? Or do I order twice as many of the leafs? Or is there a different one I should add to cart?

Also, do I replace these leafs at the side cabinet flipper buttons?

Cool, so I'm replacing the inside, not the outside. Got it, thanks!

Hey Vid, first time pinball owner, and first time electrical tinkerer. With this tutorial I was still able to complete this and they work amazing on my Space Station pin. Was actually surprised how easy it was!

Thanks man!
