That area gets slammed constantly. I'm surprised the mini post rubbers are holding up as long as they have.
not sure where it went.
Quoted from mickthepin:Hey DD are you in the AC/DC comp?
Wish I was. Got married and went on a honeymoon to Vanuatu,not far from you, great place, no pins but.
Are you and if so how you goin? Whats a good score?
Quoted from Gorgar1:Rubber swapped but had to take the detonator plastic off and stern must have put it on wet as the top red paint stuck to the coil bracket not happy.
Hey Pete. What size was it? I may have given you the wrong size. Can you touch up the paint or is it not worth worrying about? I'm not to bothered about wear on my LTBR as it'll be a keeper for always, I hope. :DD

It was a 1inch rubber but I only had white so that TNT area I changed them all the white until I get black, the paint has come off but stuck to the detonator bracket so when the plastic covers it they match up so not to bad but I may see if AMD sells them and I'll grab a spare. Tron should arrive next week so acdc will have a rest lol.
I cant keep the rubbers on the flippers. I have dropped the lower playfield down twice to put the rubber on the left flipper and had to put the rubber back on the main left flipper 3 times now. All have been on the left side.

I hear hairspray fixes the lower pf rubber. Apply it to the inside of rubber not flipper bat 
As for the main flipper rubber, have you tried replacing it with a new rubber? If so, go for the hairspray tactic here too.
Same problem here.
The TNT rubber broke a long time ago. The new one is holding up great.
I also had the red rubbers coming off the mini playfield and even the regular flippers a lot.
I replaced those and have never had a problem since.
The ones that Stern sent out are either a bit to large in size or they are just very cheaply made.
(Pretty sure this is about the third or fourth thread about this problem).

Good stuff! And your getting a Tron lucky bugga!! Man I never thought I could part with my Shark but Ive been thinking of changing to something else more modern(two pins at home will do). Wouldn't mind a Mousin Around for old times sake. We'll see. Even with your new Tron I bet that BIBLE keeps twinkling at you!
Quoted from mickthepin:yep I'm going to be there DD and the scores I have seen are not even close to some of the scores you have posted. I hope to win the state finals but there is some stiff competition.
Cool , go get em Mick. I'm up around the 400 mark(5 ball) with the latest code but its being effing mean to me! I'm supposed to be working making signs but I hear the mighty Acka calling. Think I'll go have a game now..

Thanks for the tip about the hair spray. I never thought about that, but it makes sence.

I've read these posts so I know it can be done. The 1" black rubber ring the OP replaced. It is SO tight between that back post and the metal shield around the coil. I looked after reading this and found my ring was broken too. The rubber was so caught up in that tight spot I had to cut and pry to get it out.
I can't imagine squeezing a fresh rubber ring in there. I've removed the plastic and only loosened the post. Would like to remove only what's necessary to get the job done.
Would appreciate any new experiences with this fix. Thanks.

Yeah it's tight alright I had to loosen post to get new rubber in but I put a bigger rubber in 1 1/2 inch so it's not as tight and my last longer.
