In Progress Mishmash self build - let’s make a pinball machine

[AlanJ]

Playfield needs some attention , so strip and clean. new rubbers ordered. It’s filthy. I cleaned it up a bit at first, but it needs a proper clean.





Next job is to sort out the 3 flipper mechs

All nicely cleaned up, rubbers ordered but not arrived as hoped this morning, so on with the under playfield stuff.

Right flipper Eos switch and the upper flipper activation switch stack is a mess. I fixed it temp by sticking a rubber ring over one bit just to make it work.


But now it’s all fixed properly with a brand new switch stack


Yes i know the rest of the assembly looks awful, but it’s working pretty fine so i’m going to leave it until later.

I have always struggled to work on the flipper assemblies when the playfield is raised, but today I discovered a new essential tool that makes the job so much easier :

With this I can easily reach everything on the playfield.
