West Dundee, IL
Quoted from GoddTodd:However, the right flipper is missing the entire flipper housing. All I have left is the actual flipper. Other than that it's just 2 wires that dead end into nothing.
This kind of sucks because I'm going to go broke if I try to rebuild an entire flipper assembly from parts purchased at Flippers.com.
I would try if at all possible to upgrade both flippers to something like this:

Two of these might be more expensive than original replacement parts from flippers.com, but those 40 year old parts could be brittle. If they break again, you're right back up $hit creek. New flipper mechs would last basically forever in home use outside of dirt cheap parts like coil sleeves. I'm not sure if it's possible. You could ask in @vid1900's flipper upgrade thread:

Maybe you could even use something like old Bally SS flipper mechs. Should be cheap & plentiful.
