    Quoted from HHaase:

    Looks very similar to a coin door switch, but with a different wireform on it, and the terminals are in different locations as well.
    Best I can see from the manual is "Microswith E 51-60E"
    That does reference to a Cherry microswitch part number, which looks correct.
    But you'll have to probably bend the wireform yourself, since that was probably done by Zaccaria originally.

    Hans, I was going to say the same thing as the switch looks very close to an old coin door switch. Then I saw the stop for the actuator, it looks like counter clockwise action, so the OP will need to be careful as I believe a similar style coin door switch will have clockwise action.

    OP, you might check Pinball Resource, just tell Steve it is the same style as a Cherry coin door switch on classic Bally, but with a counter clockwise action. Also, to Hans' point, you will likely have to manipulate whatever wire form is available and pay close attention to the terminals, too.

    Quoted from Scrimmbo:

    It's definitely a coin switch. You just need to find one with the terminals on the bottom, and the actuator facing the right way. I found this just searching "coin switch" on marco.

    It looks to me like the actuator might be backwards for what you need, but if you look through enough, you should be able to find one.
    edit: looks like you need to find a counter clockwise actuated switch, judging from your picture.

    Beat me to it! I think the counter clockwise switch action will make the switch a little harder to find.
