Quoted from Mikala:Welded or sodered EOS flipper switches.
I'd call this a brilliant repair - not a hack - cause I do this all the time 
They last forever after you fix 'em like this.

Quoted from Crash:Is this supposed to be a serious post?
Yes--well I was kidding about the brilliant thing...but I have fixed a lot of leaf switches by soldering them back together.

Quoted from MisterScappy:Spotted this "repair" on a Xenon at a local arcade last weekend.
...poor mans ball lock...
Quoted from pinballplusMN:Police Force double hack. Used a large rubber ring for belt, custom shooter range target.
Nice touch with the bare circuit board right out there! I love the black 'Borg-type' conduit.
Edit: I guess the circuit board is like that on the original...a little ugly.
Quoted from wrd1972_PinDoc:Maybe I am missing something. But how would this allow a way in to clear a stuck ball?
Pull up the PF glass and the side rails and glass all come up together. There were some games actually designed like this...the Bally Fireball series -- the games were Fireball, NipIt and OneMillionBC -- if not those games it was something around that era.

Everybody knows you use a stop nut and ~#6 screw or whatever fits the hole.

Quoted from andylama:My OCD tendencies would never allow me to leave anything looking like this
...I would have to pull the board and do it right---which would probably take less time and effort than doing it wrong.
Quoted from MrBally:Agreed, but for awhile, those rectifiers were impossible to get.
I have to admit I like the one with the 4 diodes soldered together.
Quoted from MrBally:Dragon's Lair. With the Pioneer Disco Vision laser disc player....
That was the first laser game I saw in the college game room. It got played heavy for a month or so, then nothing. It was a novelty with the video, but the game-play got old very fast.
