As per title for a 9 ball which I have recently resurrected. I see great plaines electronics in the US have them but are there no UK stockists or anyone here with a spare pair?
Im wanting to rebuild the flippers also as they are very worn, again does anyone over here stock old stern flipper parts?
Also looking for replacement slingshot plastics.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Andy
 
Post up some pictures mate, I’ve got a bagful of plungers, links, pawls, springs, sleeves and bushings. Maybe in there we can fix you up.

I’ve got some old cables as well so the more pics the better chance you got

Great Plains electronics shut down a long time ago.

CPR has full plastics sets

Pinball Life in the US makes the flipper rebuilds for those (though I think you can also get them via Pinball Mania, Pinball Heaven, or 1st Stop pinball if you ask them to order them in for you)

If you can't get a ribbon you can make it out of a molex 0.1 housings and normal wire. I did this for Seawitch and it's worked great.
 
With the leads for the Audio board;

As David Vi mentions, there's no barrier to making up an alternative. Stern did do that early on, before moving to use ribbon cables. Mpu 100 games like Wild Fyre had two separate molex to molex wire bundles, with the wires alternating Red then Yellow.
 
Thanks for replies, iv attached a sone pics of the ribbon cables and the flippers used, they need a full proper rebuild really, only the coils are good. Good to know I could make a replacement if all else fails but would be much easier to buy & replace if either of you have @cooldan @new forest pinball
Cheers. Andy
