The great ones are never gone and this site keeps their legacies alive.

Finally got around to rebuilding the flippers on my Space Mission and of course the former owner had greased up the coil plungers making it almost impossible to remove the old gunked up sleeve. This one wasn’t burnt stuck but it was not moving.

Instead of replacing the good coil, Ken posted this trick awhile back and sure enough it worked for me as well as the Pinsider in the old thread.

Thanks Ken.
