I hadn't thought about that yet. I was too cheap to order the $50 option from ebay!

Hi
After restoring an old bride of pinbot playfield with an overlay and transferring all the playfield parts, I am left with one part leftover which I can't figure out where it goes. It is possible it is just a random part that I had on hand, but I wanted to inquire on this forum. Does anyone recognize this part and if so, where does it go?
Thanks

Looks like it’s to the left of the wireform

This is what ships with the 2.0 kit. Sounds incredible imo.

Does it drop in without a bracket?

Direct replacement size wise. Wattage rating is higher
Anyone ever restore their bride using a silver powder coat of some kind? I don't want to do chrome, or black (as i don't want the purple + black combo). I'm kind of resigned to doing new steel, except I love the feel of the powdercoating.
Anyone?

Some of the specialty shops can do clear or a translucent. I would check into that if your just wanting the feel

I just upgraded to 2.0 and that speaker practically doubles as a shaker motor.

Yes absolutely, that is really nice

Thinking about upgrading to 2.0. Where are people finding kits?

Dutch Pinball announced a limited run last September and that's when I put my order in. They only just shipped earlier this month. I'm not sure if they intend to make any more but you can contact them on this page:

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:If I'm just replacing the cabinet speaker with a modern day equivalent do I need to use the capacitor? I am thinking I do considering how Williams did things but would like some confirmation.

I fit these and also a level control when I add my own sub, need to do this for my bop I just got.

Quoted from Titan_Pinball:Does anyone happen to have a clear picture of this decal?
FA9C8F90-1F7D-4614-ADD5-B88ED6F3B5F8 (resized).jpegThanks a bunch! I have no idea when mine was made. That decal was long gone when I got this bride. Anyone got a good guess on serial number 662177?

Anyone know how to make sense of these dates?
Quoted from mollyspub:Anyone know how to make sense of these dates?
My best guess is that mine was made on the 147th day of 1991.
I need a new receiver. The old one has a lot of miles on it. Does anyone know if the stainless no spring one at Mantis Pinball will work for BoP? It looks close.

Thanks once again for the kind offer but the seller ended up really easy to deal with and sent the item to my Shipito address in CA. Just added the part to my machine last night...i couldn't resist getting the purple version 
This was the only part i couldn't get for my full restore so the circle has closed finally.
These fit really nicely!!

I would think that date is pretty much what we use in the military, last 2 digits of the year followed by the Julian Date...you can use the below attachment to convert the date. 1991, 27 May...I am not certain but I don't think 91 was a Leap Year.
I'm tempted to seek out a BOP. Is there any problem with finding parts for this game? And what are some of the common issues with this game?
I was watching a YouTube video of someone fixing the brides rotating head,and it looked like it was a bitch to get it working again.
Thanks in advance

No concerns there. Most parts are readily available. The head is reliable and works well. Most issues with it are related to switch adjustments or old/cracked solder joints on the motor and relay boards that can easily be reflowed.

catch pan under the head is unobtainable if it is missing, which is way more common than you would think. skill shot rubbers aren't available but really should never go bad, but if you wanted new ones forget it.

Mantis makes that now. No longer an issue.
