I'm sure this is a simple question that has multiple answers that are valid, but I've had an RFM for a few years, and I did A LOT of work on it when I first got it. The cab is still in bad shape, but I've got the playfield running very nicely. There are still some parts that I can tell were hacked in from other games including the flippers. Well, one of the flippers actually cracked and a piece broke off, so I just want to replace the flippers entirely. What flippers are recommended for a total replacement? Are there compatible games that I should look for? (I know about Star Wars).

I got the thing running so well, that I haven't shopped for parts in a while and I forgot about some of the more reliable places online to search for stuff. I remember Marco; is there anywhere else the cool kids are finding parts these days? I'll keep searching away, but I thought I'd log this here in case someone could help quickly - thanks so much.

Marco and Pinball Life and good places to shop for parts.

The flippers are pretty standard mechs, the only thing that you cannot find anymore is the coils with blade connectors. I ended up buying standard WPC coils and soldering them on instead.

Thanks! Will the parts from any Fliptronic rebuild kit work or do I need to seek out specific Filptronic II parts?

Do p2k games only have right handed plunger cranks?

Good question. Manual lists a right crank for each mechanism but could be a misprint. I cant remember from back when I rebuilt mine. Someone will have to check.

Manual is available on IPDB
