A few months
Quoted from hepgeek:$860 + shipping. Here's hoping this encourages CPR to do another run. I'd be in for one.
I'm also down for one of the new glasses with the dark red.
A few months ago I would have taken 2k for mine with the CPR playfield in it. I bet I could sell it populated for that much. Prices are getting outta hand until those Hardtops come along.
Quoted from Bugsy:Couldn't find any decent instruction cards so I drafted up my own.
Those are awesome. Can you make one for Fire Power II? 
Beauharnois
Also ... We are currently working on a Firepower Hardtop! If you are not up to speed with what I am reffering to, check out the multiple Hardtop threads.
The Hardtop is all new, and not like anything else ever offered.
I just wanted to let you all know!
Quoted from Outsidedge:We are currently working on a Firepower Hardtop!
This is fantastic news! My Firepower was a barn find and the playfield is pretty bad. Would be great to have one of these.
Quoted from Travish:Not on the site yet, just got them in.
Very cool. any idea when they might be available for the rest of us 
.
Quoted from Travish:After some pestering cliffy now has firepower set. Not on the site yet, just got them in. Yea!!
3 are for the locks...what's that 4th one for? I can't figure it out.
Quoted from setzkor:what's that 4th one for? I can't figure it out.
I believe that is for where the balls come-out to the shooter lane.
Hi all,
Recently joined the club. really nice machine. It was all working fine until a day or two ago, when lane change stopped working. Both flippers working fine otherwise. is there some weird setting I accidentally tripped?
@paynemic.
Note: there is a lane change switch on the right flipper.
---- The design is dependant on if it has been upgraded or not.
---- If the switch is just floating with no means to activate it could be the plastic lifter is
---- broken off.
---- If the switch is upgraded it could be bad/dirty contacts or a broken wire on the matrix.
---- The lane change switch is located on the right flipper End-Of-Stoke switch.
Like vec-tor said check the lane change switch and wiring. There should be a little piece of plastic that separates the EOS switch and the lane change switch. If you have to marco sells the switch.
Thanks guys. It didn't even dawn on me that it might be a separate switch that made the lane change. I'll take a look!

Nicely done and thanks for sharing! Too bad my printer is a piece of crap...

Do you have them installed yet? I want to see what they look like on the game. I'm having a tough time visualizing this morning...
Thanks!
Quoted from Travish:After some pestering cliffy now has firepower set. Not on the site yet, just got them in. Yea!!
What are those?
No they should be here in 2 more days.
They are cliffy protectors that go on the shooter lane and kick out holes that prevent the ball from damaging the wood. With my new CPR playfield I want to make sure it stays perfect. He also has "enhanced" lane guides that stop ball hop on transition from frames to flippers and many other really nice protection products.
Quoted from rkahr:Nicely done and thanks for sharing! Too bad my printer is a piece of crap...
Just print them at work... 
Hey, that's pretty cool! I especially like their "enhanced" lane guides...I may pick those up when I'm done with my restoration.
Quoted from alexmogil:Does anyone have a good copy of the inserts so I can print some waterslide overlays for my replacement inserts? I have a feeling there's a sheet featuring all the insert printing but I can't find one.
check your pm

Just ordered my protectors. Thanks for posting that Cliffy had them.
Quoted from jkashani:This game is better than Monster Bash
hehe - we got that you love your Firepower!
If anyone needs/wants to replace your old/yellowed/broken plastics for some gorgeous new repros, shoot me a PM!

I have a set and they are fantastic. Highly recommend this if you need plastics!
Quoted from Walamab:I have a set and they are fantastic. Highly recommend this if you need plastics!
Do they include the flipper lane plastics that were in the original repro that cpr did?
Hey gang. About to become a member and picking up a restored FP with a nice original p/f next week. It does need new pop bumpers caps though. Where is the best place to purchase them and does anyone sell a set that look close in resemblance to the original ones?

Marco has them but the ends of the red lines are rounded instead of pointy and the letter "o" is wrong and so is the font on the "w". Here is a picture of Marcos and a picture of the originals on the right and classicarcades from eBay installed on the left. Classicarcades got the lines right and the letter "o" and "w" but the red is not quite as dark. Price is the same, about $30 a set.
Ordered. I'll post some photos next weekend when I bring it home. Very excited to finally be a FP owner and club member.
That's why I bought one. I recall playing one in the Navy at a rec center in Rota Spain in '81. This restored one will play 10 x faster than that. I hate easy games!
I was wondering if some of you guys with FP original pfs that have sunburst inserts would see if you have similar production dates of 1982 and possibly a clear coat date of 1985?
I've been over on the prototype forum talking about this NOS 2nd run FP pf I got with its different magenta silkescreened shadowing of the deathstar and clear coated pf trying to figure out exactly what it is?

Clearly pinsider swillie didn't like the pics I posted, so I deleted them... as I ain't got this machine, I really don't know which plastics
Antennaejim is referencing.
Anyway, like I stated before, if anyone interested, just PM me and I'll be glad to give every info about the set (and send the pics)!
