Has anyone in this club installed a new backglass from either CPR or Planetary? I may need one for a game I’m picking up. I’m wondering how the quality compares to an original

#1837 5 years ago

Yeah I forgot I read that about CPRs. I see Planetary ran some new and improved and was really curious about it

#1840 5 years ago

Glad to know. Thanks

#1841 5 years ago

I just acquired a new Space Shuttle and I think the coil stops are too tall because the flippers just don’t have the travel I felt my old Shuttle had. The ramp just seems un natural to hit. Does a fellow owner know the height of the stop? These look replaced and not original

#1843 5 years ago

Thanks. In my post I said these were replaced and not the original ones. They are brand new

#1844 5 years ago

The Shuttle flippers I rebuilt on my old game had better travel after rebuilding them than these on this game

Hey fellow owners, I’m in the middle of restoring my original playfield and lost all my topside tear down pics. Luckily this game isn’t too difficult to put together, but if anyone has pics of a major shop job or restore pics for the topside of the playfield I could sure use them thanks Pat

I just got done doing a playfield restore and I added the engines off the back of the shuttle toy and lit them up by connecting to one of the flickering bulbs in the back box. When I put an led in it works like a charm but also dimly lights about 5 inserts on the playfield. I wired it up just like the picture here in the club. Am I missing something or wired something wrong?

#1874 5 years ago

Looks like the wiring is fine. For some reason it’s my choice of led. Not all of the ones I tried had the problem. The only issue I’m fighting now is the flipper strength. I rebuilt both and the left feels stronger and sounds snappier than the right. Both though don’t scream up the ramp like I’d hoped. If the EOS is good and a filed the cab switches, is there anything else I should look into?

#1877 5 years ago

Rebuilt everything

#1878 5 years ago

I did more EOS adjusting and went to work on the cab flipper switches. I filed the pitting out of them and the flippers are about the same strength. I wish for a bit more power, but the ramp can be made by both

#1879 5 years ago

Still working trying to figure out why the right flipper is still not to full power. I changed over to a parallel coil setup, while it was better the first couple games it still doesn’t have the power the left does. I’m leaning towards looking at the cab switch. The EOS seems fine to me.

I saw a Space Shuttle yesterday with a hardtop installed and was very impressed with it. Looked great and played great too
