Any help would be appreciated...

I restored a WMS IJ and had the Gun Handle chrome plated. I sold the game and when packing it up I noticed I forgot to attach the ground wire to the inside if the handle. Well when the new owner got the game home it had all kinds of switch errors until he unhooked the ground, That tells me that the switch inside the handle is shorting to the handle. I need to make a trip to fix the issue and would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and if so what do I need to fix it? I do not have the game here so any help before I make the trip would be great.

Thanks, Bob

Heat shrink tubing, black electricians tape, card stock or similar insulating stuff you can make an insulating sheet out of.

You won't know until you open up it up and see what is shorted to ground.

Something is rubbing something.
