Title: Hold button on my gk is "weak" Post by: vpguy on March 20, 2013, 07:20:50 PM Out of the 5 "hold" buttons the first one often does not register when hit and can take a few tries. This is pretty classic and I find this a lot in the casinos. Can be really annoying, especially when you are losing :8-
There are 5 buttons above the hold buttons that aren't used. I was wondering if I can swap one of those in place. The bad button doesn't stick, it's action is fine I just think the micro switch has seen its day. I'm thinking I can just swap it for one of the unused buttons and all will be fine. Make sense? Thanks Vpguy Title: Re: Hold button on my gk is "weak" Post by: uniman on March 20, 2013, 08:48:17 PM I think that would work. Swap it out with the CHANGE button microswitch.
Nothing more annoying than sticky/faulty hold buttons!! :37- Title: Re: Hold button on my gk is "weak" Post by: cowboygames on March 20, 2013, 09:08:29 PM And make sure you swap the existing bad switches wires to the new switch. Sounds obvious, but people do sometimes forget. New switches can be had for a few bucks if you post a wanted to buy ad here in the classifieds

A drop of super blue on the feet will build it back up so it will push on the micro switch ( LET SUPER GLUE HARDEN BEFORE REASSEMBLEY ) Or replace micro switch.
One other thing, the lower part of those switches just push up in place, make sure it's pushed up all the way. ( I may be overloading my A$$, I'm assuming they are original IGT switches ) Title: Re: Hold button on my gk is "weak" Post by: azgamingslots on April 24, 2013, 09:24:14 PM i swapped out the #73 bulbs with led lamps, looked great, however the led bulbs were longer and hampered the operation of the switch,
to fix situation, i pulled them and ground off the magnifying tip of the leds with angle grinder, works fine now.
