Quoted from Daditude:

I am looking to get a zipper flipper pin. Does anyone have a lead on one?

Shipping to Texas might be prohibitive though.

Quoted from jasonp:

Where are you located?

06370

Playfield is exceptional, cab very good for Bally of this vintage but has typical paint flake and the backglass is nice aside for some of the reds starting to go. Went through it, works perfect now and has new flippers and elastics from PBR. Has some LED's to preserve backglass and GI. Purchased from a home owner who was downsizing, in their house since the 70's.

Quoted from Sgt_Trip:

Working on an Op-Pop-Pop now but just finished cleaning up my Gator. She is my first EM! Love the zipper flippers![quoted image]

Would not mind owning a Gator someday, on my short list of EM's still looking for.

Just finished tuning up last night, may touch up some of the reds in the backglass today...

Quoted from Ballypin:

Game is missing the chrome crossbar at the upper flipper and the upper flipper is white rather than matching the lower red/orange flippers.

1) Should be able to replicate the cross bar with thin stainless steel flat stock or shim stock. A few minutes to give it some shine with a buffing wheel and no one would know the difference.

2) Chevrolet hugger orange looks pretty close!

Quoted from Ballypin:

After checking the flyer and all the pics on IPDB, it appears that white flippers with raised letters are "stock" for the lower zipper and upper left flippers.[quoted image]
However, my Surfers has 3 matching orange flippers with raised letters.

Yup but I was fresh out.

Quoted from Garrett:

Saw that too. She won't even respond to my IM's. Guess because I didn't offer $5,900

Just nuts.

I'm jealous. Thanks for sharing.

I actually saw that for sale and passed on it, I have too many projects as is.

Who lives near Westfield, MA?
Want a Rockmakers for $400?
"1968 Bally Rock Pinball Machine for sale. Back glass is in perfect condition. Needs a little TLC and a good cleaning. It has a couple of loose connections. Includes some new replacement parts, along with the manual and electrical schematic."
