    Yes. Washer is to keep it from vibrating loose. Now if those buttons would stop wearing out so quick and flying out of the game, that would be great.

    Quoted from Cheddar:

    Hillarious, this has happened to me each time I take my GB to a show. I never find the missing piece

    I don’t think there is a missing piece. All that holds the button in is a small grove that is larger than the hole the button nipple goes into. When that groove wears down, button flies out. Best to replace the button or hack it somehow.

    Quoted from tilted81:

    Man, Haven’t has it happen to any of my games lol but ive sure played games at locations do this! Nothing will piss ya off more than having to grab the button off the floor during a good game or multiball lmao!

    Yeah. I gotten pretty good at it. Unless you’re putting thousands of plays on your games I doubt it will happen. I keep lots of extra buttons on hand. They are cheap.

    You should change your thread title.
    This is how all flippers have been installed from the Stern Factory for many years.
