Picked up a BK2k last week. The cab and head have some damage. The backglass has some flaking, but it's usable for now. The playfield looks pretty nice. However, I just watched the two 160v caps on the power board burn out, so it's not booting yet.

I just worked with Cliff to get some protectors for BK2K.

Does anyone have a rubber placement diagram? The one in the Marco kit is useless.

Or, barring a diagram, what size goes near the upper flipper and behind the middle drop targets?

Well, I figured it out.
Need to rebuild the left flipper, finish the LED conversion and replace the battery pack.

I had a switch in the trough die and the right lower flipper is machine gunning. Time to dig in and debug.

You don't need to do a full flipper swap(though you can). Just drill a small hole in the switch bracket and everything else bolts in place. My right lower flipper had been repaired wrong(switch bracket rewelded too far back, so the pawl made no contact with the EOS switch), so I changed that base for a WPC style. But the other two just got WPC rebuilds. You can pick up the brackets at pinballlife

I recommend switching to the newer style, though. Pbl has those, too.

Don't grease up the mech. Maybe take it apart to see where it might be binding up. Might just need a new sleeve.

Finally, I recommend the cr232 boards that you can find on ebay(search for "Frank's Battery Board Williams Systems" on Ebay), but nvram replacements work, too.

Read Vid's guide, specifically the part on updating system 11 flippers: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/vids-guide-to-upgradingrebuilding-flippers#post-284661
You will use a WPC rebuild kit after this conversion: https://www.pinballlife.com/flipper-rebuild-kit-williamsbally-081993-101998-spooky-2014-present-jjp-2012-present.html

I had some WPC style assemblies for a Flash retheme that is going slow, so I used one to fix my right flipper and bought rebuild kits for the other two(the remaining WPC flippers went into a blackout).
I think that this is the coil sleeve you want, but go measure the originals to be sure: https://www.pinballlife.com/2-316-coil-sleeve.html

Oh, I just realized that you meant the launcher sleeve. Don't know that one of the top of my head. I bought a bag with a bunch of sleeves and I just pick out the right size when I need one. Just pop the old one out and measure the length.

I prefer BK2K myself. Freddy is ok, but it didn't have the staying power. Mine is a monster that people just get hooked on.
