    I bought a Alvin G Pistol Poker that had several problems. I fixed just about everyone of the issues since this machine has not been used in 10 plus years. I checked all the connections took apart, put back, check all the fuses (taken each one out) on the side as well as the Power board and then checked the wiring of the Flippers. I notice the left cabinet flipper contacts did not have a Ohm capacitor or resistor attached as the right side does have two. I crossed a wire over to both sides just to see if the flipper would work and it did. I was in this business repairing and operation PB machines, etc back in the 70's to mid 80's. Never worked on a Alvin G or ever even seen one after leaving the business. I have no information if it does suppose to have a resistor, etc as looking at the soldering it looks like it did and is completely missing. Think this is the issues that is causing the other two flippers (right side and top right side) to not operate? Please advise on what I need to use to get this working again. Just in case it is something else please let me know. Thank you, Fred

    Thank you so much. Looks like I need some replacement cabinet flipper contacts as the ones on the machine is not even close to what it is. Anyone suggest where I can order these or what company might be close to replace.
