As for the power supply fan, you are probably better off getting a modern ATX power supply for $40. Here's how to make it work: http://antelopearcade.com/forum/yaf_postst4_Pinball-2000-AT-to-ATX-Power-Supply-Replacement.aspx

As for the CPU fan, it is an Evercool 50X10mm Fan (3pin, EC5010M12CA) which is still available (Amazon, Ebay, or Newegg) although any 50x10mm fan will work. It's best to stick with a ball bearing fan for reliability, which the Evercool is.

Quoted from wizzardz:

one problem I keep having is the bulb above the left outlane breaking - even with a new tight rubber. It looks like with the outlane full open there isn't enough room for the rubber to stop the ball from striking the bulb.

I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same bulb, but shouldn't this spot have double rubber?

I have this problem with the single bulb that sits just to the left of the center target bank, under a plastic. After I broke the second bulb (with new rubber), I bent the bulb bracket so that the entire bulb sits under the playfield and shines through the hole.

Are you talking about this bulb? I find it hard to believe that the ball is able to push through both sides of both rubbers. Maybe one of the posts is loose?

I took a look at my machine and I have the outlane fully closed! That probably explains why I have had no bulb breakage. Seems like smaller rubber would be a good idea if you plan to use fully-open outlane.

Whereabouts in Michigan? There seem to be a few RFM's in circulation here.
