Hi,

I'm just putting back together an OT that I recently purchased and stripped down to refurbish.
When I got the machine quite a lot of the rubbers where either missing or obviously not as Gottlieb intended, so I purchased a ring kit from Pinball Resource.
However, I've either been sent the wrong kit or I have some kind of Frankenstein pinball or I'm just losing the plot - as I've fitted the rubbers in what I would assume are the obvious locations (sling shots, single star posts, mini posts) and I seem to quite short on some rings (I seem to need another 6 or 7 single star post & mini post rings) and have too many of others (the kit has 6 post sleeves - but the game only has 3 posts).

I've added a couple of photos to show what I mean - the rings on the playfield (3 post sleeve, 1 x 3/4" & 5 x 1") are what I have left to use.

Does anyone have any info on what rings go where - preferably with photos and ring sizes (I even bought a manual - but it doesn't show ring location/sizes).

Cheers
Geoff

Manuals should always have a rubber location chart. Or in the operators handbook? Checked one in pdf format online?

And rubber kits are unfortunately always incorrect, 90% of the cases. If you buy three or four different kits, then maybe you have enough for one game.
