Broken Drop Target on SST

[Matti B]

Hi everybody -- it was bound to happen eventually... I have broken my baby!

Anybody able to replace and fit a new one for me? I am based in Colchester.

Whist I am at it, I also have problems with the mini-flipper too as it doesn't shoot straight into the nuke-hole when cradled (as it should/used to)

thanks

Hi Mate
I'm based in ipswich so not too far. I think even my skills stretch to replacing a target. If you order the correct one and you're still not confident to attempt the repair, drop me a pm and I'll come and help.

thanks mate! I will order the part!

FYI, those targets are modular, so you only actually need the yellow plastic bit, not the whole assembly, might save you a few quid

 

[Spandangler]

Sweet. And a load of ****ing about de soldering hopefully. I reckon you can handle that Matt.

LOL, just a 2 pin plug to disconnet, unscrew the target, seperate the black housing, and then spend 5 minutes working out how the new plastic piece fits in the housing

I dont want to **** my machine up....

 

[Spandangler]

Dude, you won't. I didn't even realise they were on a plug. You'll be fine. Try it first then gimme a shout if you still get stuck.

Any ideas where can I get the yellow piece of acrylic for the drop target?

 

[pinballmania]

I have a white one in stock, but not yellow at the moment. The insert is £4.75 plus postage. I can order you a yellow if required.

Fitting is detailed here http://files.flipperspill.no/Support/Pinball/Serviceb/Stern/110_SB.PDF

sent. sorted. thanks.

 

[Matti B]

got it thanks! - you wouldn't know the exact size of nut driver I'll need to get those drop targets off my board?

 

[pinballmania]

1/4". Standard size for any nut driver you might have that has interchangable bits.

 

[Matti B]

off to homebase!

 

[Matti B]

managed to replace it -- put it back in place. The rascal won't turn on now. I'll create a new thread for this.
