Yes, this especially. This video provides some good insight as to how regularly serviced parts wear and break. Fipper bushings, why do they snap in half? Because the flipper bat kind of torques sideways every time it flips. Why do ramps crack? Because when a ball hits them at an angle, the entire ramp vibrates. Why do flipper rubbers wear at the tip? Because the rubber is stretched and actually leaves the bat with every flip. Why do new games have playfield dimples? Because air balls happen a lot more often than the human eye can see. Stuff like that provides very valuable data for operators and engineers. Now I'm thinking the diverter on the left ramp return is too strong. When it comes down, it moves the entire ramp, which can cause stress failures in the future.

So much to unpack here! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Was that post at 6:56 missing a rubber?

I know right? Really debunks the dimpling argument.
