Someone was saying black knight coils make it rock, but what is the part number of a coil I can swap with the original to actually have some power in my flippers. The stock coils are fairly weak (I think). Unless there could be another reason for weak flippers, my tech a while back told me that it's just how they are.... Thanks!

New flipper button and EOS switches can make a world of difference. If yours are burned and dirty looking.

LTG : )

Most of the time you want to keep the orig value for flippers because that is how the game was designed to be played.

But the flipper mechs are much "tighter" in latter games, so it's understandable to replace those early SS flippers with new style mechs (about 2 way down the page):

To revive an old thread.....can I take the whole flipper assembly's off a Space Shuttle and wire them into a Gorgar? (I ask because I have a spare SS populated pf)

Yes.

Cool, Thanks! Looks like its finally time to swap my SS pf, then take these strong as hell flippers and replace the sad as hell "rebuilt" ones in my Gorgar

One thing to note, you will not be able to use the coils from Space Shuttle as they are 50v coils, Gorgar uses 28v. You will need to go with SFL-19-400/30-750 as used in Firepower, Black Knight, etc.

Thank you.. Will have to look through my boxes of coils.
