High Falls, NY
Quoted from ccotenj:today's lesson was "always replace flipper parts in pairs"...
i had a sticky stop on a "new to me" game, so i replaced it... the flippers needed to be aligned, so i did that and and figured i was good... fired up the game to test it, and the flipper that still had the old stop had more range of motion... pulled that stop, and it was hammered, allowing the plunger to "plunge farther" than the new stop... replaced that, and all was well...
i shouldn't have had to have learned this the hard way, i should have realized that the stop would be beaten... but in my defense, the sticky one didn't appear to be that bad, so i assumed (i know, i know) that the other one was in similar physical condition...
lesson learned...
You wouldn't have had that problem if you had simply let me buy that TP from boilerman in the first place!
