My MSF flippers were very spongy, even after a full flipper rebuild. It would take a perfect shot
to make the ramp. The only other big dmd I've played is BMF and it suffered from the same
flipper ailment.

That's the thing, my Tommy has really strong flippers and I haven't even rebuilt them. I don't
understand how basically the same company progressed from nice strong and solid flippers to
the limp ones they put on their first four Sega's.
