Hello, I'm doing a playfield swap for an F-14 Tomcat machine. I'm getting close to finally being done but I damaged the switch for the pop bumper. I got a new pop bumper switch but I am not sure what resistors I need. I salvaged two from the old switch but the third one is too damaged to solder back on.

Would someone be able to take a picture of theirs and/or let me know what resistors the pop bumper switch is supposed to have.

I will attach one picture I was able to find. The switch is outline in red. (There are two targets over top of it so its not a good picture) The resistor I really need is the big blue one but it is too damaged to solder back on or even test to see what its resistance is.

Thank you and I really appreciate the help.

the bottom blue one is a capacitor, cant see what its value is
the top black one with the silver line is a diode - remember which way the line is favoring
cant read the colors on the resistor to give you what value it is, put a multimeter on it to get the value. put it on OHM's and the leads on both sides

welcome to the madness !

right above the yellow wire is a diode also but its tough to decipher whats going on in that pic

That other dioide above the yellow wire is for a target. So I have all the resistors and diodes figured out. Just need to get a new capacitor and solder that on. I don't have any of the values though. It would be nice if someone had a picture of how the capacitor should be soldered on as that is the best picture I have. I can probably actually figure it out if someone actually knows and can tell me what type of capacitor I need?

Thanks!
 
I'm sure it was printed on it. But the plastic around the capacitor is all melted so its impossible for me to tell :(
 
I looked at all the schematics and was unable to find anything specific for this switch :(

A-7459-7 is the switch and is orderable online but without the capacitor and resistors
 
For a resistor value just look at another target and see what it has on it.

Also I need just one plastic for a F-14, the one that goes over the 3 stand up targets on the left side, will you have an extra one when you are done with your swap?
