Quoted from jesster64: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.
Upgrade to the WPC mechs per Vid's guide - smooth as butta and can't miss shots.

If I had to guess, your machine was probably from later in the production run since it has the red posts. Seems the red post machines had the System 6 board set installed whereas the blue post machines were the System 4 boardset. The blue lane guides with the red posts is a unique combination and may have been put there by the Op - usually the lane guides and the posts match on all the ones I've seen.
When I redid mine I also put in blue skirts and red transparent caps on the pops. I felt it gave the machine a more modern look.
