I did a search and also looked for a different forum post but didn't find a list. Any must have mods people like for T2? Picking one up this weekend.

Odd question but can somebody give me the standard size of the pop bumper cap screws? My caps need replaced but I'm noticing that they're may actually be 6 different screws holding them down

Thanks

Joined the club 2 days ago btw

Thanks everyone for the help. I had already looked at the schematics prior to posting but in T2 (and Getaway) the schematic doesn't show the screws.

A google search for "Williams jet bumper screws" did find these at marco which appear to be what everyone else has pointed out.

I noticed in Soulrider911 's rebuild that he used double rubber rings in the upper R playfield. Mine are only singles. What was original and what's everyone's recommendations? And any color preference?

Thanks. And the white looks great. Currently have light blue in my titan cart but that might need to change to white or red.

Anything on the ring chart that isn’t accurate? I’ve been seeing some different numbers between the manual and the titan lists

Quick led flasher question. Warm or cool white? And SMd or flat top?

The T2 I have has the old incandescents. I have cool whites in my cart right now to replace them so I guess I was looking to see if anyone has a preference in this pin.

Anybody know the DMD backboard recess size off the top of their head? I was thinking of heading to TAPP plastics for a red acrylic piece to filter the dmd to red on the way home.

Thanks

14 x 4 1/2 transparent red acrylic from Tap plastics, $4. Great mod.

I've never lived in a humid place while owning pins but wouldn't that have to be A LOT of humidity? Did you rescue this from the jungles of Borneo Kabball ? If yes please tell me you did it with a fedora and a whip.

As far as your restoration my fear for you is that you'll have a hard time offloading this pin moving forward if you don't fix the cab and it doesn't appear to be a simple fix. The restoration cabs listed above look like a nice option though, I wasn't aware those existed before.

Anyway, good luck, keep us in the loop on what you decide. I'm definitely following because I feel like I've reached a point in pinball prices where I might consider a cheap water damaged pin to restore at some point.

The folks at buthamburg are going to be doing a run soon, that may be the supplier to planetarypinball (not entirely sure but think so). I've been in contact with Peter there. They're moving into a new facility and are busy doing the Alien and Queen playfields. He estimated late January or February for t2 run but don't hold him to that. In the past they ship to the US, not cheap but cheaper than the link listed above.

I agree on considering a full redo by mining the parts once everything for a rebuild is available. I also agree it has to be a labor of love, you'll never get back what you're going to put in it.

Nevertheless it might be a great pin to learn about full teardowns and mechs because nothing is terribly complicated about the pin yet it has many parts that are common for future pin repair.

I'm considering the playfield swap listed above because that's all my t2 needs really. It will be my first underside teardown but looking at it seems reasonable. There's another link a couple pages back to someone who did a full swap with great documentation. As others will tell you take a million pictures from different angles but also zoomed out and zoomed in. Try to categorize and separate sections/layers as you take them off. You'll need pics from others as well to help you solve all the hacks in your pin. I also find it useful to go find a relatively pristine pin to play so I can figure out what actually isn't working in my pins.

We might be doing a swap at the same time so we can share info as needed.

When I looked I think it was about the same or slightly higher ($20?)

Check Soulrider911 's rebuild. He's the guy that does the suuuuupppeeer nice rebuilds (like crazy nice). He used a prior run from Buthamburg and some of his pics may have info on that.

Oh and ya, in my post I mentioned that Buthamburg isn't re-running til January/February so we're both gonna have to wait, but from what I've seen earlier in this forum the wait is worth it.

Yes, DIY rotisserie

I honestly think if you pump the brakes a bit and play the pin as is for a bit you might be able to save a few bucks figuring out which mechs need replacing vs repairing. By the time you get that done the new buthamburgs will be here.

I actually searched for Foster's and a drill bit... now my holes are way crooked... thanks everyone

At work and only had a chance to look at the links you posted but do you have your resto process/technique documented anywhere?
