I'm trying to finish up a Bally Safari, but I need one damn switch that I can't seem to find anywhere on the planet. I ordered what we thought was the correct switch from PBR on two separate occasions, but no dice. I tried the parts seeking thread with no luck either.

Anyway, I managed to repair the left plastic a few days after taking this picture. She cleaned up pretty good.

Quoted from Mopar:

What's special about the switch, it's short length? You need both the small and longer
one? It takes the regular size insulating spacers, not the smaller ones right?
What's the length of the blade(s) that you could use?

Quoted from drsfmd:

What's the length on the correct blade? I've probably got something in my stash that's at least as long and you can cut and redrill to make it the right length.

Thanks to both of you! I'll measure it when I get home from work tonight.

The switch itself is fine, it's just the top is apparently snapped off, so the pop bumper scores, but won't fire. I thought of pulling the switch and soldering on an extension. Maybe that's easier?

Thanks for all the suggestions. The ones I got didn't have the right hole configuration. The holes were too big and too far apart. I spent some time last night and soldered a piece onto the short switch and it seems to work just fine.

All that's left is figuring out the 10 point bell and what to do with the apron. The cabinet is a mess, but I don't think I'm going to screw with that for right now. I don't want to hijack this thread anymore, so I'll be asking for help with the bell in my other thread if anyone wants to stop by and offer assistance.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Quoted from Dayhuff:

Things are going a bit slow on the 4 Million shop job since Floyd has taken up residence in the middle of the playfield.

You should put Floyd in the cats and pinball thread.

I picked up a High Hand about a week ago. Spent Saturday tearing down the play field and getting it working. I haven't tackled the coin door yet, but it's a mess. Back glass is decent and the cabinet is alright. The head must have taken a hit at some point, but it doesn't look too bad. I'm not a cabinet guy, so I'll probably leave it alone.
