After purchasing a Williams Mini Flipper rebuild Kit from PBR here is how its installed
-
Step 1. Open door, remove lock down bar, remove glass and lift the playfield @.@
Step 2. Undo the two screws \ Bolts holding the Coil Stop in place and remove the coil stop. Then slide the coil out of the front bracket and leave hanging
-
Step 3 Remove the entire base plate by removing the four screws. Then remove the front coil bracket and clean up the plate and bracket
Step 4 Unsolder the End of Stroke switch and unscrew the bracket from the playfield now remove the two screws holding on the EOS switch and give the bracket a clean
-
Step 4 While the parts are off give the under playfield area arounf the flippers a clean before re installing the flippers
Step 5 Screw the new EOS switch to the bracket and screw it back onto the game
Step 6 Screw the flipper base back onto the playfield
-
Step 7 Screw the coil bracket onto the flipper base
Step 8 Join the new Plunger and link to the pawl bracket after cleaning (is that what there called?) using the new C clip provided
-
Step 8 Now insert the new coil sleeve into the Coil
Step 9 Slide the coil back into the coil bracket and while holding in place screw in the new Coil Stop with the new screws provided (Sorry i forgot a photo of this step)
Step 10 Slide the new spring over the coil plunger then insert it into the coil
Step 11 Now hold the pawl into position and feed the flipper back into position and hand tighten the screws when the flipper is in the right position
-
Step 12 Manually check that everything works freely before tightening up the flippers
Step 13 Repeat this for other flipper then have a game or two and enjoy the results
Ive added a few before and after shots and some comparisons to show the worn parts compared to the new im amazed at how bad they were

Did the EOS switch need adjusting?

Did the EOS switch need adjusting?
No worked straight out of the pack. It was a real suprise how much spring the new ones have compared to the old ones
-
Cool, adjusted right out of the packet! Re-building flippers is a great job for novices to get their hands dirty with. It isnt very hard, and the results make the biggest difference to the game.
