anyone privately thinking about selling their FT? shoot me a pm, please.

no topper. that's why.

they're flying recently. picked up yesterday:

i am continually impressed by toppers. started with Getaway, now FT. very cool.

is magic eraser okay to use on the cabinet art?

just got done razorblading off that damn sticker under the right speaker grill. wanted to kill myself.

simple green?

yeah, like black scuffs mostly. naphtha didn't do much.

this doesn't look right:

that can't be the way they were shipped, right? looks like it chipped off.

man, this gd game is tough. had her for 9 days and finally put my initials in tonight: 285 million.

have not measured them, but they look normal.

yeah, i know about the bolts, but i've seen standard length flippers with bolts, too.

the fire button on the fishing rod shooter: doesn't light up, right?

if you haven't played one with the topper, don't.

frankenstein!

anyone want to take a stab at this one?

the two target fish on the side, the pcb with 3 insert light, one doesn't work consistently. seems like it works for a little, then after the game warms up it stops. if i have the playfield up, i wiggle the connector a little, maybe even tighten it, it works again. put the game down, it eventually goes back out. frustrating. any recommendations?

got it. tyvm.

is the extra ball shot supposed to be so hard? i feel like i hit it and it only registers about 50% of the time. it's fine when i test it though. it's almost like the rubber in front of casters club blocks it somewhat.

backhand makes sense. it works best when i hit the left side of that target.

welcome aboard.

good lord...

anytime.

cabinet looks very nice.

i wouldn't say mine is very close to the tip, but i can one-timer it into casters' club off the launch. is your game steep enough?

if you don't swing at it, does it bounce over to the right or does it drain?

i'd try to remove old.

easy if you unsolder.

if you order in bulk, you usually get a discount and you'll have spares or some leftover for your next pin.

super is lit when you get to the multiball at the top of the boat?

the lock shot is a cakewalk compared to trying to hit the extra ball target. that thing is horrendous.

you guys told me that before, but i forgot. that, and not really playing FT much anymore, i never tried it.

that target is positioned oddly. it's right next to the left rubber for casters' club. i feel like you almost have to hit on the left side of the target for it to register. i think i said this before, too .

i see people on youtube doing it that way, too. must be common knowledge.

i like it. where did that fall on the pita scale?

did you put a little nylon washer under the bolt to protect the vinyl?

yeah, that's sweet. good job.

enough clearcoat?

test mode, single switch, check every one.

sweet! anytime, brah.

my FT actually came with regular flippers, but i finally broke down and ordered lightnings. i just wasn't sure how long it'd be around. i have a short attention span. i know now, if it's not a keeper, it's pretty close.

looks exactly like my old one did.

i still have a few more years then. my daughter is going on 5. she whoops my friends right now though .

maybe try restoring to factory. first thing that popped in my head.

it's not that bad. not like you hear it long . it would get stuck in my head, i remember.

why isn't the after burner a deluxe?

that sounds so random it might actually be normal. i think mine was mostly slow.
