Hi all,

It seems that I need to replace the pop bumper switches in my Sorcerer, Ive replaced every other part in the pop bumpers and Im experiencing the same problems over and over. I want to replace the entire switch mechanism for all three pop bumpers and found the replacements but have no idea what diodes need to be added. Here is the part listing for the switches on PinballLife:

Does anyone know a source where I can look up the part information for the missing diodes?

The problems Im experiencing with the pop bumpers-

One of the chrome rings gets stuck in the down position which is causing the coil to overheat, blowing a fuse, I also blew a transistor on the powerboard and had to have that fixed.

One a different pop bumper, the skirt at the bottom of the mechanism, does nothing, the other two react nice and strong when I press them down with my finger, plenty of action, the third is just dead.

Id appreciate any advice on any of this.

Thanks!

Here is a photo of one of the switch sets, with the diodes in place. It appears to have three different types of diodes.

Thanks very much everyone! Ok, so the top is a diode, blue is a capacitor and the brown one is a capacitor? Any advice on how to identify the part numbers so that I can purchase replacements? There is nothing in the manual that lists part numbers for Sorcerer and every switch assembly Ive been able to find to purchase does not have any of the capacitors or diodes installed already.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice. All three of the switch sets look like this, Im assuming that the parts are original. Here are a few more pics:
