    On my high speed (and I'm assuming the same for my f14) the entire stack is riveted. I bought replacement target blades, not just faces... Probably foolish on my part, but it is what it is. Any suggestions? Drill out the bottom rivets and replace with screws and nuts?

    What size screws typically work best for you?

    Thanks a bunch! I assume I probably don't have any, in quantity, laying around. So I'll have to go buy them. Much prefer to just cut out the trial and error if at all possible lol

    No worries, I'm not in any real rush. I'm kinda of dreading doing this, tbh... But damn it'll look good if I do..!

    I had almost every single switch stack fall apart in my hands trying to change these on my F-14. For whatever reason the original blades were UNBELIEVABLY tight against the tubes. I finally had the last two or three actually play nice.. Every one before that was pure hell!

    High Speed went well. No issues there. I did the next guy a favor and slightly wallowed out the holes on the new targets for both machines prior to reassembling and securing with 6-32 machine screws and keps nuts. Worked like a charm. I taped around them in F-14 because there's so much crap crammed in there but iirc I didn't in high speed.

    Next on the list is Terminator 2.. So I guess I'll see how hard they made life for WPC games...

    I was so pissed I couldn't find 5-40 lol.

    Whatever, I'm set now. And apparently I'm going to swap these stupid things in every machine I own until forever, so here we go!

    Good call, that's a bit further from me but good to note for next time
