Big Ben
Williams, 1975Hey all -
This may be a silly question, but my google-fu seems to be failing. Likely I'm using the wrong words, admittedly.
Having to rebuild my ball stepper unit on my Big Ben. The switch that indicates position 0 has been bent horribly (guessing bad adjustments over many years), and just wanted to get a new one.
However, in the 74-75 parts list, while the stepper units are specified, they do not show a switch. Anyone happen to know the part number for the switch?

Can you make the faulty blades with these parts?

Quoted from EMsInKC:That's not bad, you can easily straight that out.
Won't damage or cause the contacts to misalign and cause issues? (Always been hesitant to bend leaf switches too much..!)
A had a game that had a reset bank on the bottom of the playfield and the switch leafs were bent at 90 degree angles...many of them. It took some work, but I was able to straighten them out enough so that the game worked great for many years

Cool, thanks. I'll go ahead and bend it back. It'll be a while, as I gotta rebuild the stepper units after I get new coils/sleeves in. But if I run into an issue, I'll let everyone know.
