I have been slightly busy totally changing the shed around to gear up (finally) for so pinball work in the near future - been hectic lately to say the least.

I have been tallying up a bit of a parts list and just got a full plastics set and rubber set from Bay Amusements - super fast freight.


Nino or anyone else that can help
I need to replace 2 coils and just doing a order soon (first stop RTBB hopefully), but for all the flipper coils they currently have had the diodes removed (manual shows them installed) - how does this affect the game / flipper action?
Also I have jaycar diodes which are the same as the Bally/WMS 1N4007, but Sega specify IN4004 diodes, should I go for exact or will the 1N4007 be fine as they are rated 1000v 1A?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Yes my ramp was cracked but lucky at only a couple of the mounting points but where yours is cracked I think I will make a SS cliffy type protector to lay in the curve. It is a fun player, and I think alot of people are turned off by the Hoff on the translite and possibly the high cut swimmers on the cabinet. On ebay i found a guy that does alternative translites and he has a Pam one definitley not fam friendly, but I asked him if he could consider doing a no Hoff one close to what is in there or just a beach scene with the life guard tower and some waves and girls in the distance - basically a little less chessy and a little more family friendly - his answer was keep a watch out and he will see what he can do.
Also bought a US coast guard helicopter and a shark for the playfield to mod it a little and will try some stern blades in it to see if they fit, otherwise the playfield is in pretty good condition just needs rubbers and plastics as well as someone put sponge behind every target so will fix all those care of RTBB parts.
