Another small victory tonight. Finished off overhauling the main right-hand flipper.
Out with the old and in with the new. Bye-bye bushing, sleeve, coil stop and Nyliner. Just look at the state of that coil stop! Rusted and mushroomed to buggery! Amazingly the plunger tip was fine:
Here's the baseplate. All the metalwork cleaned, linear plunger polished, new Nyliner and bushing fitted, EOS contacts burnished, new coil sleeve, coil cleaned and refitted with connections away from the coil stop:
And at the other end new coil stop bracket (extra chunky type) bolted down proper with machine screws and Nyloc nuts:
Baseplate screwed back on the playfield, armature attached to flipper shaft (remember to use gap tool!), EOS switch adjusted to break open just at the final few degrees of travel with a good 3mm gap at the end:
And the result? KAZPOW! New high score first game and I nearly made multi-ball twice!
