Yes we can - we can either use our universal ramp MRS right where the current switch is - IF the ramp is stainless right there (should be - need confirmation) OR we could put a tiny MRS on the tube that would fit the curve....it'd be rather simple....and no more hang ups!

So first steps...can someone take a magnet and confirm that the metal where that switch is, is indeed stainless steel...if so - then we have something already....check those riveted L brackets nearby and the metal switch 'covers' too - they look ferrous....otherwise - then confirm the O.D. (mm is best) of the tube...with that detail - we can modify what we have easily to fit the tube...

You got it..O.D. is the outer diameter...so precisely 1.5"...good deal...now Kderrick I need to be clear (my bad)...true stainless is typically austentitic or NOT magnetic..(good)...then there is stainless steel that is ferritic or magnetic (bad)....so 3 things...ramp (magnetic or not), L brackets (magnetic or not) and switch cover (magnetic or not)....let me know on those...

Matt

Ahh...the hard road...shoot - wish that ramp was not magnetic...so tube it is....we'll sit down tomorrow and see what we can make...it'd be a short MRS that would adhere, length-wise, to the tube - you can put it anywhere on the tube...and you'd simply solder splice to the current switch wires...and that'd be it...I'll get back with everyone tomorrow to see what we can do....and, for those not familiar with our products - we are very up front and open that they are not cheap...they are $30/each....so just want to be transparent to folks that haven't seen or purchased our products over the last 2 years....but you won't find a Pinsider that felt we don't deliver the goods!

Well, we got it done - we have an MRS replacement for the tube entrance ramp !! It is a small self-adhering MRS that can go anywhere on the tube you prefer. The wires are solder-splice to the existing switch wires (which you can remove as well as it's cover!)- pretty simple install. Just PM me to place an order!! I hope to get a few orders so we can get some feedback for other owners.

Thanks!

Some of you asked for pics of the MRS tube solution - here is a pic of the first 3 orders shipping today! Standard pinball for size reference....as you can see....small!

The MRS appears flat - but it is curved - that curve (the pics don't show the adhesive that I applied as well) fits the curve of the tube - lengthwise....so you'll want to stick the MRS - as close to the tube entrance as you can - anywhere you feel on the tube it looks good aesthetically....but remember it can go anywhere, more or less, on the tube....make sense? Then you simply solder-splice the wires into the old switch wires - the polarity is agnostic....

That's a good place - but you may not want those plates anymore after you remove the old switch - the first plate hides the switch - which you will remove - the second covers up a benign connector...so underneath the LED strip could be good too....but be cautious of getting too close to magnetic things - like those plates apparently are!

Matt

You bet....that's the very nature of the MRS! It has about a 8mm range to it for detection....

Matt

When you see the alcohol pad - you know it's about to get serious! Let us know...call with questions...I'm sure you get the idea and see that it can go in a few different places on the tube - so whatever works best - be sure to test before you stick!

Matt

F'n great!!! Love it when a plan comes together....

Oh it works alrighty! mkdud just got one for his Xenon....he seemed pretty satisfied...

Matt

Built, and now curing until Sat morning my friend!

Matt

Just PM me....

It does... But it is not on the switch... The diode is off boarded

I'm traveling Greg... So limited abilities.... But if to trace the wires back you get to a small board on the bottom of the playfield... Small ... With a diode on it....
