stern flipper rebuild

[DRD]

Never rebuilt flippers in a sloppy stern before and world poker tour is my first stern/ sega/ data east type game

The left main flipper began sticking. Upon review there is masses of play in the joins with the nylon plunger link on both main flippers, far more than on my other bally/ wpc games

Who is best for parts for rebuilds please ? Was hoping to get them at the manc expo if poss. Or will import if they are better quality

Am I best to stick to bits advertised as being for sterns ?. I have been told that use of Williams parts will reduce vibration on hold - which ones, just the plunger and links, or the pawls too ?

Thanks

I did a flipper rebuild on Spiderman last year, if I can do it, anyone can!

pretty easy Dave use standard parts when i do the rebuild i replace plunger complete with link new end stop spring and the part that wears the worst is the allen key bolt that goes through the link bush put a coil sleeve in it too dont bother replacing the cranks these are pretty bullet proof also make sure the eos switch parts are ok if you speak to phil he will bring them to the show
