shooter rod old ss
« on: January 02, 2016, 01:55:59 PM »
Looking for new or used shooter rod similar to the one pictured. Can have point or not. This one off my embryon is too short and miss plunges a lot. I am guessing this could be the pspa ones as I think this is where the game originally came from.

Thanks guys

Thanks mate. I have temporarily put a dmd shooter on the game to make it playable. I changed the sleeve, spring, bent the shooter cover prongs until I realized the rod is the prob. Talk about looking in the wrong places  ^&^

Sorry guys, just found a shooter that will do the job. You just don't know what you have for spares until you decide to clean up the garage  &^&

If the one you pictured is just too short you can fix it by putting a spacer / small rubber ring at the end of the rod before you put the rubber shooter tip on . It will space the shooter tip off a bit more and make better contact with the ball .

pretty sure he mean you can drop a small dia washer or equivalent dia piece of steel / rubber inside the plunger rod tip rubber and then install the tip rubber onto the rod which effectively makes the rod reach longer.
