Quoted from WeatherbyMAG:Stingray got a coin door/door trim & leg repaint. Loving the Rustoleum "hammered" finish paint.

I like the lever or whatever that is on the coin door lock, looks a lot better than a key - what is it and where can I get one?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I just got a Flight 2K for free!
That's really all I want to say.
Pretty worn out but it actually works. Can't wait to clean this one up and get it playing nice.
Should I keep the PC Fan mod?
I don't usually buy new plastic sets especially for beaters but figured in this case I'd splurge.

See this archived ad - he has nearly a full set of plastics for sale. I just bought one of the pieces shown in his set, it was delivered quickly and easily.

Quoted from cottonm4:The problem with that set is the plastic that is always broken is broken on this set, as well. In this case, there are 2 pieces of a particular plastic. Both are broken. It is better than what Levi has so he might be able to make it work for cheap.
Ah, I get it. Mine are not broken and I did not know there was one always susceptible to breakage. I bought the left side out-lane one - I still need the right one to replace my chipped one so if anyone has a lead on one, I'd appreciate it.
Quoted from cottonm4:I can't fix your chipped one but you should consider getting some .030" Polycarbonate/Lexan and make your self a couple of protectors to keep them from chipping.
I mentioned the factory mod but I still think a piece of poly would be better to protect those two pieces.
You should also consider making a poly protector for that piece up in the back that likes to break.
That is a great idea, make them while I can. Is that material fairly easy to source and so I make them the exact same size?
Question - how do I get the metal standoffs off of the old plastic to reuse for the new one I bought.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:You just need a cool free play switch mod like mine. [quoted image]
I have something similar to this in mine. It was mounted where the left price plate was supposed to be. I moved it from there, mounted it on a piece of metal and screwed it to one of those little rails stapled to the bottom of the cabinet inside the coin door. Then I set the switch to give 5 plays for every time I press it. Also removed the key lock and put in one of those little knobs that make opening the door possible w/o a key. Lastly, I fixed the open space in the coin door where the switch was with a new light and price plate.
This is a fun machine to work on. I am awaiting a play field protector once the place I am speaking to adds it to his inventory - I have a number of dished inserts.
Quoted from luch:isn't easier to set the high score replay to like 10,000 points
Mine came from the guy I bought it from with the switch, I just moved it to a different location. All in all, yes much easier to set free game to 10k.

Quoted from bluespin:Not for a long time. I think Bay Area had some but sold out a long time ago
Can you replace with the metal ones? As noted F2K uses these and I'd like to have a plan just in case.
Quoted from ArcadeRaid:I have a beehive over cupped inserts on a Flight 2000. Completely flat now.
I have the same thing from Beehive - made my game playable again.
