I have this JQ. It works really well and is quite clean inside and out for a 40+ year old pin.

I have this set up next to a pinbot with newly rebuilt flippers (by me) and an Addams family. Of course the games are going to feel different, and I don’t have much experience with EMs, but the flippers feel a weak to me (there are 4 flippers, 2 normal and 2 mini).

Looking at the mechs, they seem quite clean. The parts actually look so clean that I suspect they might have been rebuilt recently. I have no idea on service history, only work I did was clean and wax, lamps, new ball, rubber rings and shooter rebuild. Game was purchased from an experienced pinsider.

The mechs look fiddly to rebuild with the fiber piece and the roll pin to deal with...

What do you think, rebuild or leave well enough alone?

Thanks Runbikeskilee and frenchmarky

if I disassemble everything, I might as well reassemble with new stuff. for $40 in parts it's worth it to me.

I'll probably just rebuild them because then it will be good for as long as I own the machine and I can stop thinking about it

I haven’t googled or searched “high tap.” Does this have something to do with changing the secondary on a transformer coil?

This is probably true. But I'm also a crazy person that is bothered unless I can be sure things are serviced.

My internet search travels have led me to discover "yellow dot" and "red dot" solenoids. I'll probably do the rebuild and change out the solenoids to a snappier version, maybe the yellow dot ones. I don't love the idea of changing the xfmr secondary. (I took a look and it's on the standard tap). Thanks fellow pinheads.
