Replacing a Pinball Ramp Gate Switch with MRS

Replacing a ramp-entry gate switch in my Elvira and the Party Monsters pinball machine with a magnetic reed switch (MRS).
MRS solves a couple problems that I've been having with my Monster Slide ramp. The switch on that ramp is difficult to adjust--especially because it needs to work in both directions. My switch was only registering a fraction of the time because it was out of adjustment. Worse, the ball would frequently hit the gate assembly and roll back down the ramp. MRS solves both of these issues.
Unlike a traditional ramp-entry gate switch, the MRS does not make contact with the ball at all; instead it uses magnetism to detect when the ball crosses over it or next to it. MRS is a drop-in replacement of the whole gate, wireform, and microswitch assembly. MRS slips underneath the ramp, out of sight, and leaves the ramp unobstructed.
MRS is created by M&M Creations

Great video! I just got a Road Show which has a similar issue with a rollunder switch... trying to decide what to do about it but this video makes the MRS seem like a pretty good idea.

It's a great product and it works really well. Just make sure you spend some time test fitting it and testing it with an actual ball. It might not go exactly where the old switch was. It has to be in a spot on the ramp where it can pretty much span the entire width of the ramp. And it also needs to be where the ball is sure to be making solid contact with the ramp surface. That means it probably needs to go further up the ramp than the original switch.

Thanks for this. And...I hate it when crimps won't come out!

I spent like an hour trying to get that dang thing out! I ordered a bunch of spare 0.062" connectors that night!

@@kyle5574 and you did it without the crimp tearing across the tip of your finger on the way out so I count that as a win

How does this switch work when it has no diode? Does it habe a diode built in? I want to put one under a saucer that the regular switch binds, but need to make sure it wont mess up other switches in my rows or columns with it.

I asked M&M Creations the same thing. Especially because I tried to test it with a multimeter and a ball and I couldn't get it to trigger. Their response was something like "That's the magic of MRS." The diode must be built-in. It works great in the machine and doesn't cause any issues with the switch matrix.

What do they charge per switch?

Cost might depend on the type of switch. Message Pinside user Sonic for information. Just for reference, the ramp switch shown in the video was $30 USD at the time.
