Hello everyone. I have a Sharpshooter that has been sitting in storage for awhile, and I have just set it back up. I have noticed the flippers feel "weak". After looking at the linkages, there is a decent amount of play in both, and the left side has a lot of vertical travel at the shaft for the flipper. The right side metal bracket that holds the coil appears to be cracked as well. I've attached some pictures of the flipper mechanisms. I'm not sure if the left flipper coil is even a gameplan coil, since someone used a piece of wood to shim it in place.

I found a couple really old threads about these flippers, but couldn't figure out where or what parts I need. I know its hard to find anything gameplan related. I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions. I'm okay with swapping these out if another brand fits.

Thanks! I'll purchase the classic Sterns and try rebuilding these flippers. Appreciate the link Atari_Daze, I started going through all of the boards and found a burned resistor on the power supply, so I plan on replacing the caps and that resistor. Have some corrosion on the MPU-2 board that I also need to address.
