I joined the club recently. Flippers have already been rebuilt. The wrong flipper coils were in the game so I had to change those out and a flipper rebuild kit was installed. I just started tearing everything else down for a cleaning. Pops were previously rebuilt so that’s an added bonus.
bigfoot53 made some apron cards for BAB. I haven’t had a chance to print one out to see whether I would like it or not in the machine. Either way, he does great work. He has a whole custom apron card thread if anyone is interested.

Quoted from Vic_Camp:Here is some paperwork I found in my package. There is a ring chart too.

Thanks Vic
Quoted from paulace:I was looking at that rubber ring chart - I think they must have stretched a 3" rubber around that center island. Man, that would be tight! I used a 4" Titan there and that felt good to me. For what it's worth...
Quoted from sysprog:I recently got a Flipper Pool that had white posts and the newer flat top flippers. The game looks otherwise unhacked. Could some of these have been that way from the factory? The parts look appropriately yellowed for their age.

It should have metal posts and the rounded flippers. Look at Vics above. Good luck finding the metal ones if you ever want to try and make it authentic. They are hard to find.
Quoted from pinhead52:I do have a set of the metal ones (never miss a deal on ebay). Send me a PM and I'll count the ones I have. And there are a handful of tall, anyone have a count of thoses?
Why am I not surprised you have these?lol. There are 6. I just repopulated my game yesterday.

Quoted from pinhead52:and how many regular?
35. 10 for the upper corners, 8 for the middle rollovers, 6 for the lower stand up targets, 6 for the slings and 5 for the center stand up. There is also an old style plastic post in the middle of the center stand up target.
Quoted from sysprog:Is this correct? I did replace the flippers, I do like the looks of the round tops better.[quoted image]
Yup it’s different. If you look at others you can view which ball is in play through the apron. If you can’t find an original find one similar from the era and add the decal that’s available here: https://www.bestofpinball.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14614
You could check with hazmat7719 he bought out
toomanypins parts business or maybe REM pinball.
Quoted from sysprog:Its a Flipper Pool, so it only has one ball in it. Not much to see in the trough It looks like the pics on IPDB.
I had no idea that it had a different apron. I’m an idiot.
