	Fast shots to the lower phurba ramp diverted to the right sometimes get stuck because the switch wireform hangs the ball up. One way to fix this is to get a replacement microswitch with a long wire actuator, and bend it so the activation occurs much later down the wireform ramp (as shown in the picture at left).
