I recently picked a non-working Genie, and got it all sorted out! While playing the game for a few days, i got the feeling that the upper left hand playfield was too easy to keep in play, and too hard to shoot towards the drops. (the ball would always shoot at a harsh angle. It finally dawned on me, that the operator that last used this machine 20 years ago, had swapped out the mini flipper, with standard 3" flippers! So i hop online to buy the correct ones...and no one sells them! So, does any body know where i can get the correct Gottlieb 2" System 1 flippers, or would it be sacrilege to simply buy the 2" EM flippers with the skinny rubbers and toss them up there?
Also, flipper rebuild kits are impossible to find. Any solutions? I am hoping the flippers can be rebuilt to get more pop out of them, but i am not sure if this is simply how the game is designed, or if the flippers are truly week? I see that some people put powerballs in to speed up the action?
