Are you sure the upper flipper is supposed to be a lightning flipper? I just (mostly) finished up a project DW and I believe the manual called out for a regular flipper up there so that's what I put on mine. I'm wondering if that's correct or if you have a better source of info than I do.

Quoted from pinball_faz:

DW was designed with regular flippers but execs wanted shorter ball times (I think some buyers from France IIRC). They all shipped with lightning flippers. Several games were victims of this swap.
Honestly, the lightning flips don't cause a big disadvantage... it's only an 1/8". The gaping huge grand canyon of an outlane on each side is the real problem

Right, and I have lightening flippers on my lower flippers. My manual lists 20-9734-6 (lightening flippers) as the lower flippers and 20-9250-6 (regular flipper) as the upper left flipper. I know that the manual isn't always accurate so I was looking for input from people more knowledgeable than I am.

Anyway, back on topic. The restoration looks great! I may need you to do my cab

Nice game! It was fun playing it! I was surprised my low score got Grand Champ.
