Where does this plastic go????

[Mr Pinbologist]

Hi all,

I've been working on an F-14 Tomcat the last few months, and just fitted the new CPR plastics..

The only problem i have is, where the farrk does THIS plastic go?? 

All the rest went on fine, and i have this one left over, and i didn't remove one of these when i dismantled the playfield 

Can anyone enlighten me???

Cheers... Mitch

When I did an Addams, I had a couple left over. They were odd protos with no spot on the current lay out. maybe that here?

Hole drilled in the wrong spot for the key lock/ring plastic?

No its definitely not the key ring plastic, that one is pretty obvious which one it is and its accounted for.

I will have a look at our reference photos of the one we did a while back. Hopefully it's on the tear down pics or the rebuild ones

I'm starting to think this might be the case as I have searched everywhere on the net for pics and have found nothing. I guess its not going on the game

Thanks Tim for your reply, that would be great if you can check for me

Hi Mitch,

I had a look in our reference pics for that game, but couldn't find it anywhere...

I had a search on google with the part number and it turns out its another key fob. Someone emailed the man himself (Steve Ritchie) and got the answer.
Here is the link, and good luck with the completion of the restoration - it is looking killer

Thanks for the info Tim, and for the comments on the resto efforts so far  

The resto is nearing completion, will add to my resto thread for the game in the next day or so, i'm just in the process of sorting out a few gremlins with the playfield and then it'll go back into the cab.

Just waiting on the light domes from RTBB for the backbox as well which will be the last items to finish off the game
