    Nic, you're welcome back ANY TIME....and I think a rematch is in order. Especially since your "hack" failed on my first ball of the first game. BEST damn single ball I've ever had on that game

    The new plunger and coil stop works perfectly on the bank of relays.

    Figured I might as well replace the plunger since I was in there, and was ordering parts anyways.Figured I might as well replace the plunger since I was in there, and was ordering parts anyways.

    FYI, the score motor still isn't always stopping soon enough. I'm thinking the spring on the clutch is wearing and is weak. Got any advise on how to disassemble the motor assembly? It appears to be riveted together.

    Quoted from CactusJack:

    Multi products used to have a rivet kit for use after cutting open the gearbox. Check with Steve Young at Pinball Resource to see if he is still willing to sell them. I believe he will only do the work in-house now and not sell MP parts.
    But I have opened them up before and resealed them with finish machine screws and lock nuts. It all depends on if they have to sit up against any mounting plates.

    I already sent an email to PBR....they're closed till the 10th (I'm not opposed to having them rebuild it, depending on price). I thought about drilling the rivets, and just bolting it back together as well. For the moment though, it seems to be working correctly. Thanks!
