Flipper rebuild time!!!! a before and after shot

P7260509.JPG


And the pair complete with new coils!!!

P7260511.JPG
 
The newer, one handed tightening on the pawl grip type too. I hate the older allen bolt style which requires another tool in the mix.

I commend your ability to not put black fingerprints all over the new coil labels. To this day, I still cant manage it.:rofl:
 
Is that the thing that ends in a flat disc? I will have to get some of those I think. Presumably Andy and Phil both stick them.

Hi,

I see that both flipper assemblies had a Blue (11629) coil. One thing I remember about WhiteWater is that each flipper coil was a different power rating - Blue on lower right, Orange on left side, and Red on the upper flipper. A previous owner/tech must've replaced both lower flipper coils with Blue ones.

Seen this a few times, my BK has red yellow and blue coils, they are all supposed to be red!. I haven't come across a machine yet that is SUPPOSED to have different coils on lower flippers!.

Well spotted Jay!!! you are correct, the manual says an orange FL-15411 coil(which I think I have somewhere)

Kev, I wouldn't think you'd get far on BK 2000 with a Yellow (11753) coil, that was the weakest rating Williams had (it was meant for small flippers, as on Swords of Fury or Addams Family). Another game with different ratings on the main flippers is Creature from Black Lagoon, also like WhiteWater in having the right side Blue and the left Orange.
 
Cheers David, I have new reds ready to fit. Just double checked, the yellow one is yellow insulation tape :rofl:so no idea what it actually is.

that's pretty much the one i bought, but i wish i'd seen your post before i spent more money for one from the abroads and that's even before i end up adding on ££ for tax and for the PostOffice to deign to deliver it.

of course what i really wanted was this one - here - but £176 plus postage is a bit steep for the cooldan exchequer

Wowee! That one from the states is so mine! I'll just use the Halloween blag and say it covers my newly formed man gut too. :thumbs:

Looks like Bigfoot could do with a new fur coat.
It's coming along nicely Kev.
 
Mini playfield now complete and big foot has his fur stuck back on. New rubbers and a bigfoot plastic too!! Note the cliffy added as well. In the 2nd shot there are 2 holes either side of the ball channel - no idea what these are for has anyone got a clue on here please ????

Match your plastic to that area and I am sure it's a fixing point for the plastic using a stand off.
