How often do you replace your rubber ring kits on your machines?
(Topic ID: 36877)
I believe its quite unsanitary to reuse rubbers.
edit- jus messin, when they look about to shed shavings on the PF they are gone!
Depends on which rubber it is. Most rubbers can be rotated and/or inverted to extend their life. You can also rub them with WD40 to clean them up. Take a close look at a routed machine. You will probably notice that the flipper rubber was rotated when the flipper tips got worn.

Keep wd40 away from pinballs!
Quoted from mickthepin:I got a story about wd40 and pinball machines. Man it is to late to tell that story. Long one, don't know where to start.

I wouldn't EVER put WD-40 in a pin, anywhere.
I use this stuff to clean rubbers, it works amazing. Any dirt just wipes right off.
