Do Earthshaker translites exist? I need a new backglass but I figure I should find out if there's a cheaper option before I go dropping $250 at CPR...

Quoted from jhanley:Not that I've heard of.
RIP my wallet I guess 
. I need plastics too anyway so I might as well just grab both.

Quoted from Djshakes:Anyone know the value of those plastic toppers are that come with the new plastic set? It is a large plastic of the rear end of the car and the man and woman in it. I shopped out a game for someone and he doesn't want it and told me just to sell it. I just want to get rid of it.
fossmin is actually looking for one of those!

Is there anything different about the playfield pivot mechanism on Earthshaker vs other Sys11 games (like Tomcat or Whirlwind)? As far as I can tell the playfield mounting brackets are in the correct spot on the playfield, and the bolts that hold the PF are in the same spot as they are on my Whirlwind (15 inches up from the bottom of the cabinet), but when I lower my playfield on earthshaker I have to slide it forward on the bracket to get the hangers to meet with the front of the cabinet. As far as I can tell the brackets aren't bent, since bending them to meet the bracket makes the apron not fit.
Edit: I decided to just bend the apron and hangers, it doesn't look perfect but it works.

Quoted from schwism:Have you checked out the coil and sleeve?
Speaking of, how do you get that coil off? I need to replace the sleeve in mine but the head of the plunger keeps you from removing the coil, even when you unscrew it from the mounting hardware.
Quoted from schwism:I pulled the unit out of the machine (removed the switch and desoldered the coil). I never removed the coil but I would think once the screws that hold it in place were removed the coil and sleeve would come out to the right as shown in the picture.[quoted image]
Unfortunately the ball popper/head (or whatever you'd call it) on the coil keeps you from removing it from the mounting hardware. It might just be that I need to poke the pin out that holds the head onto it. I'll give it a shot tonight and see how that goes.
