I can t believe this flipper was working when I tested the machine. I just bought a GNR on craigslist with a couple issues. I could tell the left flipper was a little weak when I tested it but when I got it home it failed completely. After lifting the playfield I discovered someone had connected a broken linkage with a bread bag tie lol. Where is the best place to get a replacement and is there anything special I should know before purchasing?

Given the condition of that one, I'd recommend rebuilding both left and right flippers, and the upper left as well.

I'd spend an evening or two going through the machine, above and under the playfield, before placing your order - if you're just now noticing the bread tie fix you've got to assume there's more surprises under there, and more parts to order.

That's not really testing it is it?
