The one thing on DE games that always bothers me a little bit is the flippers. For some reason, and I can't figure out why, they feel cheap. I don't know if it's the clicking sound they make or what but the B/W games aren't like this. My TFTC isn't bad but it's noticeable to me. Any ideas why this is? Has any one made any modifications to make it feel more solid? Thanks!

Interesting. I have 4 B/W and they all have the same flipper feel whereas TFTC has kind of this clunky sound compared to those 4. I noticed this when I played a couple others on location such as Tommy and BTTF. Some new Stern games have this clunkier feel to me too, especially when I played Wrestlemania.

It's not a big issue or anything but if there was some sort of fix I may as well do it. One thing I noticed on mine were plastic stoppers on the flipper solenoids instead of rubber. I thought that might have something to do with the sound difference.
