Quoted from svendmute:Yes! Finally finished my cpr playfield swap. Turn out extremlely nice. Only thing is that now it plays very fast and the black knight seems unjust and hard on the player. Barely makes 1.000.000 points.
Upgrades made:
-New wpc flippers on all flippers.
-New mosfet transistors on lamp matrix. Both rows and column driver transistors swapped
-new black pompbumper skirt.
- new decals on spinner and drop targets
- new cpr plastic set.
- new post cap plastics and rubbers. Rubbers only on slings.
No leds anywhere, but might consider putting warm white leds behind the backglass to minimise heat.
Total hours approx 60. But didnt count them. Too much fun and a very learning experience since it was my first pf swap.image.jpg 221 KB

Looks very nice. I'm going to add WPC mechanics to the lower flippers, but adding to the uppers? Man those drops are going to take a beating. Again looks like you've done a very nice job with the swap.
Quoted from mof:I'm not sure that the force of the ball off the flipper just from changing out the return spring style is any different. It "sounds" more forceful with the "clack" sound that is introduced. I would think if the coil is left alone, that the only difference is the <5% improvement in force due to a new sleeve in there. I haven't done my upper two either, but it's certainly on my to do list for "Someday"

Oh yeah...Duh! Never mind my last post. It is on the return side not the power side. (Face palm) I know when I did my Pinbot with WPC, they definitely sound more powerful, must be what had me thinking they actually were.
