Quoted from markp99:

You could simply go fuseless on that breaker and solder wire leads with alligator clips to attach to the fuse clips for testing.

This would actually allow the breaker to be used more easily in-line as well. Why didn't I think of this?

At 1400 invested in the condition you've gotten it to, you are doing just fine. Paid a bit more for mine and no playfield protector/new drops/new cabinet paint job/cleaned up guts. Looks great. I was the other in line for that but too many projects so also glad you got it!
