Hi guys, Spent some time over the last couple of days rebuilding the bumper and flipper mechs. The bumper and flipper coil sleeves and mechs on this game had at some stage had WD40 or something similar plastered into them, leaving a black and greasy mess, so a good clean up of the parts was first cab off the rank. Didnt get any pics of just how filthy they were, but the bumper coil in the 1st pic will give you an idea how bad they were! I wish i knew why people do dumb things like this  ^&^ ^&^

The disassembled parts were soaked in metho and scrubbed with a tooth brush to clean them up, then i gave them a sandpapering with 400 grit and nifti, followed by a polish with Autosol. then everything was reassembled with new coil sleeves in the coils.

Last pic shows the bumpers reinstalled on the playfield. I ended up re-doing two of the bumper body decals, after discovering they werent applied straight  @.@ @.@
I also dug out another Gtb body and used it to replace the only original Zac bumper body i was using, so they are now ALL Gtb bumper bodies!
