Just picked this up. Don't laugh was a good price. Ive never really played it before. The helicopter picks up the ball and randomly drops it. Looks like it should be controlled by the flipper. Helicopter seems to work fine otherwise. Thoughts?

Im gonna do a PF teardown and clean. Owners hadn't opened it in years. Anything else I should check for?

Lots of fun? Only played it a few times. Its really dirty.

All finished. The helicopter doesn't work at all now. I prob need a manual.

Just found this part in the cabinet...P7240365.JPG

Nothing?

Yeah I don't see where it goes. motor seems to work but the helicopter doesn't move. the propeller hasn't worked since I got the game.

All back together. The heli wont rotate the right way. I see how it works with the rubber friction piece. just seems to be missing and it wont rotate.

Any thoughts?

I put a brand new one on. Didn't work too well so put the old one back on. Same results.

It doesn't have enough friction... Im going to adjust underneath...

Constant adjustment. Getting close.
