what is this wire for?
« on: February 22, 2013, 10:34:44 PM »
On my Space Invaders I have noticed two stiff wires going to the flipper mounts. They look similar to coat hanger wire, maybe a little thinner. But my question is what are they for? they look like they're for some kind of tensioning of the flipper mounts????? Excuse the photos but I took them from the open coin door and not the playfield raised

Hahahahahahaha these are not original someone has bent up a coat hanger to make the flipper guide wires.   Took me ages to work out why they were there
