The outhole microswitch has gone bad on my Truck Stop and I can't find a replacement. It has a long arm with a roller on the end. All I can find online are the shortie armed rollers for sega/stern with the roller. Maybe my search skills suck, so could someone point me in the right direction.
 
Can you swap the arm over? Many of them you can, if it has the two little tabs that come down around the side of the switch.

If you don't mind buying 30 of them at once, here's an ad on E-bay for $18 for the pack of 30 switches. (Just double check that it's the right size switch first)

yep, all too familiar with them midnight shifts here too. At least I get a lot of internet time on mine, and I've spent the past couple weeks reading the manuals for my Black Knight as well as all the pages on pinrepair.

I do think it might be crossing the line though if I bring my driver board in, and start swapping components on it at my desk.

That being said, I've bought a lot of little electronics components off of e-bay over the years. Sometimes you're stuck getting it from China, but often you can get great deals from US sellers with good feedback too. I just bought a 100 piece stack of 1N4004 diodes from a guy in Kansas for $4.00 including shipping. Radio Shack wants $1 per diode, IF they have them.

You definitely sound like a shifter :)

I've been getting all my pin parts from PBL and was hoping I could just get one from them since I am getting an order ready anyway. Couldn't find that size on the website.

I'm thinking about grabbing that lot and just free friday half of them.
