I just got this machine and other than the reel light and front glass coin acceptor lights the coin switch is sticking and has no return.

You're sure it isn't just hanging up on the frame?

My slot experience is rather limited but everytime I ever saw a switch like that on a pinball machine that had no spring it was because the switch was bad and needed replacing.

I once got a machine temporarily working by putting a drop of isopropal alcohol into the switch which got the arm to start springing back after moving the arm a few times.  I think it was more just gunked up inside.  The switch failed in a short time (a month if I recall) but by then I already had the replacement on hand.  Not sure if you should try that without the slot pros chiming in.  And definitely with the machine unplugged first...

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get it working by taking it off and adjusting it it was just out of wack. I cross threaded and wrote about it on another thread for my other machine. Now all I need to get working on this one is the coin lights and jackpot lights and coin tray lights

I changed the starters and my oh my the lights that once delayed for awhile to turn on now turn on right away! So happy haha. Now all I need to figure out is why the small bulbs aren't lighting up. Any suggestions?
