Does anyone have a FG playfield parts list? I'll be doing a playfield swap and would like to order some new parts.
Yes, I could count them up, but I'm sure someone here has a list prepared...
Fantastic

I was visiting today and my buddy has a Flash Gordon. I have one going through restoration so I was taking a close look at his.
A thought came to my mind as I was looking at the playfield...
There are at least two spots I can see where it would be possible to add a ball capture. Given the capture of the two balls, the game could be made into a three ball multiball game. Yes of course major/total software rebuild would be required, but I am seeing software being redone lately.
Has anyone had same thoughts? Has anyone done anything like that?
Fantastic!
Quoted from slochar:Yes, someone added multiball to flash gordon a while ago although I don't remember what came out of it. They did it all with hardware.
Where else besides the center hole could you add multiball? Behind the inlines would require memory inlines to get the ball out.
This is where I see the two balls being captured. They could be released from under a ramp or any one of the many options for release.
The trick is to update the code. I think there are a few other parts required to make a multiball game, but they can be taken from an existing machine. I am not an expert on this subject, but I would think a multiball ball trough assy would be different. Thoughts from the pros?
Fantastic!

Fantastic!

I also need the bracket.

Does anyone know where to get the proper rivets and setting tool for the ball guides? Mine were rusted beyond salvation and my friend has made me a new set, but requires the brass rivets to make them like the originals. Perhaps a spot of tig weld will be a better solution, but I'd like to see if we can source original rivets.
Fantastic!
