Have you got a manual for your machine Marty ?

Here is where you will find it ;

Here's some light reading for ya -

You should be able to find the part numbers in the manual.


When should you install a flipper kit ? - If the flippers are strong and you can make ramp shots - you can leave them "as-is".. DE Flipper kits are expensive, but you can buy plunger & Link / Coil stops.. Check the EOS as well... Some of the route operators did some weird stuff to keep these games going !

Owen has a great guide on DE Power Supplies in the Tech section.






Thanks again!  OK I've found the part I'm looking for (# 545-5105-00) which is also called a 'grommit'.

From having another look at the flipper set, it does not look or feel (by hand) to be trashed but I wont know for sure until I fire it up, but I can't do that until rubbers arrive.  Do I need original DE flippers (as these seem non existent) or can the generics work?

I also need to mylar a section of the PF (where the gold ticket thing is) as they wear lots and I dont want it trashed.  Now I know 'mylar' is a brand, I have some left over from my T2.  It was 'Metamark' digitalvinyl.  I'm not planning on doing the whole PF, just a square on this area down to arnies chest as there is some wear (not through paint yet!)....Is this metamark stuff OK to use?

Thanks again.!
