Don’t forget that you’ll have to make a light board for the head.

Quoted from emsrph:

With the ultimate goal of eventual swapping to a CPR repro pf when it comes out, I was thinking of putting all solenoids, pop bumpers, flippers and drop target assemblies on connectors...
Some people think this connector adds a failure point?
Should 0.093 be used or are 0.062 pins okay, current carrying ability?
Discuss.

Has cpr announced that they’re making this title or are you hoping that they will in the future?

Quoted from slochar:

missing 5 bank memory drop

IPDB lists five classic Sterns with 5-bank drop targets. Is a memory drop bank one that requires you to hit the drops in sequential order, like Nine Ball?

Which of these is a memory drop target bank?
Cheetah
Freefall
Hot Hand
Lectronamo
Split Second
Stingray
Trident

Quoted from emsrph:

Yeah, I don’t have a complete 5 bank target bank yet although I am still looking.
I did pick up a front, top and bottom along with a reset bar from a 5 bank.
I think I can take the sides, levers, coils and part of the back from the F2K target bank and build the 5 target bank. Only thing to cut down or source would be the rods that stretch from side to side. There’s a brass one and a steel one. Wish me luck.
Plan B was to get a Meteor 6 bank and see if it could be shoehorned in there or cut that down. Someone from overseas did answer my wanted ad but was asking $165 for it and I passed.

There are lots of parted out classic Sterns out there. The first step is identifying which pins had the memory banks. The second step is to network to find the right parts. If you participated in any of the leagues in your area, network with other players. I have a Trident playfield so I can use that five bank for my pending Cheetah build. I'll post my question in the classic Stern forum.

emsrph Thus Pinsider is making wiring harnesses for classic Sterns and Bally’s. Ask if he’ll be willing to make them for Cheetah.

Quoted from dothedoo:

I would replace the brackets. It’s no fun pulling the entire flipper mech out of the game just to replace those parts.

Can you use the type two flipper plates at Pinball Life to convert a type one Stern flipper assembly to a type two? Or is it better to just buy the fully assembled type two flipper assembly from pinball life?
