    For those that don't peruse Pinside, just making a repro part announcement. M&M Creations began making repro MRS' in mid-2019 - but only announced on the Pinside RFM forum (they are handmade and didn't want to get overwhelmed with orders). We've been
    branching out more to other Pinside clubs that utilize the formerly unobtanium switch....the MRS stands for Magnetic Reed Switch - they are also found in SC, CV, NBAFB, NGG, SWEP1 and CC ...they went unobtanium half a dozen years ago or so - so my
    partner and I at M&M Creations decided to remake them. Our MRS is plug/play - it is lighter, thinner and more sensitive than the original MRS (which we've found is key when playfields are restored). MRS' are $25/switch - same as they were about 6 years
    ago when they went poof!

    Further, we designed an MRS mod for CFTBL to be placed on the whirlpool to garner more revolutions instead of the Cherry switch getting whacked by the ball. If interested, simply gmail or PM via Pinside if you like...

    Are you still making them? I am trying to find a very reliable Star Rollover switch for a homebrew project. I sent you a message earlier and hope it makes bits way to you.

    Hey John - we don't have a website. We tend to design reed switches for problem areas where there are design problems and poor ball detection. So the switches can be custom for certain situations with different ball sensitivity. We do have a some
    standard stuff for ramp bowls, like Creature, Diner, and the slot rollovers are fairly universal but we still have to look after mounting compatibility and sometimes interference from other pinball mechs like magnets, etc. We do show what some of our
    stuff looks like and what applications we have worked on this pinside post:
