Quoted from pavel_one:Laser War Typical Insert Decals
anyone have a good one of the large 2 3/4" circle insert in the center of playfield ?
picked up a Laser War over the weekend , I find it a pretty fun game , but unfortunately at some point in this particular ones life it had some flasher bulbs freeze on or something & melted parts of the ramp & the center circle 2 3/4" red insert , (game still plays good, just looks awful & there is a soft spot) I ordered insert from PBL & I plan to fix this myself ... now I could just do a red insert with a mylar circle over it but hoping someone here could help with a good scan or advice on possibly making an insert decal to go over it ??

I recently did a flipper rebuild and while that completely cleared up the sticking issue, it did not solve the problem where the left flipper is unquestionably weaker than the right. Seems like a coil replacement (https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/090-5000-00) is in order here. This is the same part number as the stock Beast coil -- any reason why it won't work?
maybe... but don't forget to check your cabinet switches first & perhaps also double check gap on new EOS switch after the flipper rebuild
Quoted from vec-tor:Sending good wishes on the repair.
Thanks! it came out great ... really pleased with the results 
here are a few pics. to document it.... looks better in person than the picture shows I like it so much I don't think it even needs the artwork anymore ...looks like a big red jewel in there now compared to how it was & plays nice & smooth too

these... the ones where the flipper buttons are located on side of/inside of cabinet .... the ones behind the plastic flipper buttons on side of cabinet

pitted contacts , bad gap .... it very well could be something else just thought it was worth mentioning
