I wanna rebuild the right flipper today. This is my first flipper rebuild.
Replaced opto-assembly on right flipper switch, fixed flakiness.
Replaced left flipper opto-assembly for good measure.
Rebuilt the right flipper…from my notebook:
Parts replaced:
| 20-10110-5 | Flipper bat w/shaft |
| A-15848-R | Crank link, right |
| A-12390 | Flipper stop bracket |
| SW-1A-194 | EOS switch |
| FL-11630 | Flipper coil |
| 10-364 | Flipper return spring |
New flipper works awesome! Now I gotta rebuild the other one…
Replaced burnt out lamps: re-launch and top-right pop-bumper
Cleaned right gun opto switch. Was being flaky. Might be bad cables, connections looked good.
Adjusted position of left popper solenoid, seemed stiff. Slides better now. Should fix problem with ball not making out of popper.
Replaced dirty ball.
Indiana Jones is here! Yay! Set it up in my office.
Replaced the “A” light from “ADVENTURE” and the “Shoot Again” light fell out during shipping. Has some problems:
Replaced lamps 17, 47. Tweaked lamp 17 socket.
Resoldered connectors on “Top Post” switch, fixed rope bridge problem.
Replaced coil plunger assembly on right slingshot (WMS #A-5103). Works great.
Re-Adjusted flipper.
Right gun light now works intermittently?
Replaced gun light bulbs. Left works okay, right does not.
Noticed right sling-shot is messed up. Armature link is cracked.
Found a place online to order some parts. Marco Specialties.
Ordered some stuff:
| 3 of A-5103 | Coil Plunger Assembly |
| 10 of 10-364 | Spring |
| 3 of 10-128 | Spring |
| 6 of AE-26-1200 | Coil Assembly |
| 4 of AE-25-1000 | Coil Assembly |
| 3 of AE-26-1500 | Coil Assembly |
| 50 of #44 Bulbs |
Needs some work:
Test Report:
CHECK SWITCH 32 UNDER L. GUN SWITCH 2
CHECK SWITCH 33 UNDER R. GUN SWITCH 2
CHECK SWITCH 34 R. GUN SHOOTER
CHECK SWITCH 36 UNDER L. GUN SWITCH 1
CHECK SWITCH 37 UNDER R. GUN SWITCH 1
Checked switches 34, 36, 37. All good.
New Test Report:
CHECK SWITCH 38 L. GUN SHOOTER
CHECK SWITCH 48 BORG ENTRY
Checked 38, 48. Both good.
Hmmm. All I did was test switches and now guns work[1].
Replaced return spring on left flipper, did nothing. Flipper feels a little loose?
Adjusted flipper shaft in crank link assembly. Pushed flipper all the way down and pushed crank assembly all the way up and tightened[2]. Success.
[1] At the time I didn’t know how the switch test algorithm worked, which is why this was such a mystery to me.
[2] Also didn’t know about the proper flipper spacing. Still don’t have one of those flipper spacer tools yet. — 11/13/2006
My first machines have arrived. Woo-hoo! I purchased them on ebay from pinballsales.com.
