Let me start by saying sorry for some very basic questions here. OK I am making my shopping list for the show tomorrow. Let me start by saying I have nothing for my LW3 machine. So I need a bunch of stuff.

Fuses - I have a printout of all of the fuses that I need.
Legs - Are these standard???
Balls - I got this one
glass - Is this a standard thing as well.
Rubbers - I have a printout for what I need.
Novis 123 - If I can find this.
Need help with light bulbs. My manual does not tell me what kind of blubs that I need. The guy I bought it from gave me a small box of #555 blubs. How can I find out what different bulbs I need?

Is there anything that I am missing? I need a topper as well. Also, I need some wire and plastic connectors, is this something I should expect to find? I will also need an iron; is the show a good place to look or should I just go to Radio Shack?

Yea I would think so too, but I have looked through the entire thing and don't see a page that tells me the bulb sizes?

Glass is pretty standard for a normal machine...
Normal 21x43x3/16"

Get some coil sleeves for the coils, or hell just get complete flipper rebuild kits if possible, that's probably the most important thing to do.

Usually for bulbs you would need (555,44,89,906) those are the common 4. Not exactly sure what LW3 uses.

I doubt the show would have tools or anything, but who knows. I got my solder station from Amazon.

Here is a list of legs for various machines:

^^^^^

Thanks just the kind of post I needed.

Are rebuild kits sold as a pack with everything needed?

Wow, that's unfortunate! I guess you'll just have to decide what colors you want and pull them ahead of time to check types. You should be able to tell what type by sight after you check a few of them.

Good luck!

When rebuilding Flippers I replace the Flipper bushings as well. But those are not included in most kits. They are cheap, but you have to remove the entire flipper assembly to change them out. It isn't hard, just a few more screws.
