LETHAL WEAPON 8 SHOOTER LANE SWITCH
SUBJECT
QUICK SOLUTION
Have you had this problem yet?
The Shooter Lane Switch gets
~truck by the electronic plunger,
oending it straight up.
The key is not to break the flash
wire off the switch while bending
the wire back.Not always as easy
as it sounds.
Replace the Shooter Lane Switch
(180-5053-00) with the Right
. Out.lane Switch (515-5138-00).
This can
be done • on location,
• . .

without the right part, and allows
the pinball to continue to be
played without much effect on
the game (500 points when ball
exits the drain lane).
PROBLEM
NOTE
Of course the other side of the
equation is, what do I do if I break
the switch (especially since the
switch isn't in the maintenance
package that comes with the pin-
ball)?
The new Outlane Switch may
need a little plastic removed from
the switch holder to accommo-
date the Ball Kicker Assembly, it
will fit snugly but it works.
BEST SoLUTION:
This part could take a week or
more to come in and meanwhile
your out big money from a brand
new pinball, because the game
will not run correctly without the
switch.
Get the right part, good luck.
