I'm working on a flash also. Flippers seem a little slower than I remember. I tried cleaning them up. Do the solenoids just get weaker over time and need to be replaced? Inserts need a little leveling and I did put some LEDs in. I found the vinyl blue covers actually add a nice glow to playfield. Love the sound and it brings me back to when i was 16.

I added LEDs and lights went out, so I panicked and went back to reg bulbs with blue vinyl covers. Adds a softer effect on playfield. Extra brights under half moon that stay lit, but I kind of like it that way. Frosted blue LEDs on under top lane guides.LEDS under playfield. None in backbox yet. still need to rebuild flippers and fool around with lighting.

I had the same problem with drop targets. One would stick when hit and delay going down for about 2 seconds. Also, it seemed like solenoid didn't have the juice to reset the targets and they finally all stayed down. I took drop targets apart and cleaned , which was a first for me. Works fine for me now and if I can do it, anyone can.
