Perishing rubbers!

[ronnie63]

I refurbed my LW3 some 5 years ago ish, to be fair it's been played a handfull of times, I had to take the glass off today to adjust a pop bumper switch and all the bloody rubbers are perished! Thinking rubber is not the way to go for replacements? silicone or something else?

Cheers Ronnie

Get some titans from retro Arcade Specialists

Or Perfect play from PH or pinball mania.
All are silicone and I've had no issues with them

Sounds like a plan, not looked at the rest of the pins but guessing they will be the same! Hope kits are available for simplicity

You don't really need kits for rubbers. Most manuals list how many of each size and where they go. Nowhere near as complex as LED kits

True enough got the manual to hand cheers

the thing with rubbers obviously,is you never know how long they have been sitting in storage deteriorating,prior to despatch,I have had some shocking off white ones delivered from various suppliers in the past as "new".
