My Bally Flash Gordon Pin update
« on: March 01, 2012, 10:09:47 PM »
Here is a couple of picks of my FLASH GORDON after a good clean and adjustments here and there.
Replaced all globes and cleaned all the PF inserts,  Fixed displays as sum of the digits where out or flickering.
Adjusted sum of the switches on the underside of the PF and now I have the single drop target working at the top of the shooter lane ^^^
Made a nice FG card for the apron. Cleaned and polished all plastics and PF. Tidy up the back of the cabinet where there was broken chipboard.
New legs and lifters, all new white belts and a new ball.

It plays real nice, and grate fun even though its not a multiball game, it keeps me going back for more..

Very nice game. I love "in line" drop targets on Ballys.

I won a compleat set of used plastics for my Flash Gordon on E-bay  $35.00 us. I was badly after the clear plastic next to the top flipper and I got one in this set.
Replaced the clear plastic next to the in line drop targets as this was in two peices.
Replaced both slingshot plastics as well as the ones in the set where in a better condition.
Looking good now  *%*

Interesting thing I noticed recently when I was playing a game, when the ball drops in the saucer the bonus lamps strobes up the playfeild showing you way the ball is going to be kicked out of the saucer.
