Last weekend I acquired a Flight 2000.........playfield. It's in a bit rough shape, but salvagable. I have an ambitious idea on what to do with it, to bring it back to life.

I, having just the playfield, have started on this. I'm trying to decode which wires are on what connector. First order? Stick on labels. And go from there.

Does anyone have a pic of the upper left slingshot plastic, next to a ruler?

Thanks. The 2 big plastics have small parts chipped off of it, but I'm not going to worry about that now.

Over the weekend, I got most of the rubbers placed onto it. I was missing a few pieces from the rubber kit I ordered, but no biggie.

The next step is to take some of these really rusty screws & find equivalents at the hardware store. Trying to find the matching hardware on pinball supplier websites didn't bring up anything matching.

Looking at the plastic coil holders for the pop bumpers, they look like they could be 3D printed. Mine are intact, but still , would be a fun challenge.

Minor luck on buying hardware at the 'ol hardware store. Found a box of matching under-playfield screws to replace all the dusty/rusty ones underneath. There's 3 sizes of under-playfield mounting screws. Got one of the three so far.

Finding those e-clips has proven to be elusive. They only sell them individually at Menards, but not at all stores. No luck finding the rivet-like piece to hold down the bottoms of the drop targets.

I bought a box just like that(probably diff brand) at Harbor Freight. It contained every size of clip except the one I needed. Either too big or too small.

Does any supplier sell these rivet-looking drop target arm ends? I am missing a few, and so far, no luck finding any on Marco or PBL.

I may have found a workaround at the local hardware store, which is a screw-in dowel thingy.

If I had the cabinet, I would. All I have is the playfield. Yes, I'm restoring just part of a F2K. But with no Sunday car any more, I restore this.

I have read your post. Let me get back to you on that. I have to put a few sub-assemblies back togeher, order some basic things from PBL and see where I'm at.

For the 3-drop target bank, one of my switches is all messed up at the very end.

Anyone got a URL for PBL or marco for an exact replacement? I haven't found any exact matches. Can't be too obscure as it's just registering a drop target hit.

With no luck finding shoulder pins, I decided to 3D print my own. A few mm too long, but nothing I can't change. Yes, the targets are getting replaced.
