Stern Spike 2 flipper button switch with or without capacitor?

[Bertwav]

Hi All

I've ordered replacement flipper button switches for my Rush because at some point someone had bodged the left one after getting bent up.
The new switches are identical apart from they have the ceramic capacitors fitted.
Should I remove them, as presumably they serve no purpose as they are not on the original switches or is there a benefit?

Thanks
Rob

Caps are for high voltage systems to prevent arcing. Compare to your originals but I doubt they serve any purpose.

Thanks for your reply

Yeah, that's my understanding too, but the usual parts suppliers sell them with caps on.
I'm new to machines made in this millennium, so wasn't sure if there's some other reason for them.
I think I'll just remove them then.

Cheers
