Which interlock switch do I use on a Galaga upright? Mine's missing. I have the original bracket and cover & want the new one to fit those if I can. It's the last piece and my Galaga is 100%.

why worry about it? if thats all that stand in your way just bypas it, there is no need for it in home use
 
You need either the F-79 or the E-69 (not sure). Bob Roberts sells both. If you're not sure which you need, you could by a holder bracket from Bob, too, so that you can just replace the one yours has...
 
How many wires do you have going to it ?

Manual looks to show a double throw.

F79 - 4 wires, DPDT
E69 - 2 wires, SPDT

Good question. I'll take a look tonight. Thanks for pointing that out - I have the manual but it's tucked inside the cabinet. Didn't occur to me to look there.
 
im sure ht biggest collector int he world would care less about a interlock switch, a interlock switch doesnt make the game

Restore means just that, to 'restore' it back to 'original' condition. If it's missing the interlock switch, replacing that switch would be the right thing to do. I just did it myself on an Elevator Action that someone had removed and bypassed the interlock switch. I am not sure I see the reason for giving the guy grief? I can see if he changed the T-molding color, but an interlock switch? That's part of the package in my opinion.
