Pelham, NH
I just picked up mine a couple of weeks ago. Rolled it the first week. Not even close since. It can be really tough.

Do you have the plastic for the upper left corner of the playfield?
Quoted from La_Porta:Hi fellas,
I finished my restore! Everything came out great...of course, there is the little this and that that I wish was better, but it came out far better than I could have hoped at the start.
That being said, I have this "box o' parts" that I have left over. At this point, I know that a bunch of people need used plastics to replace theirs. My CPR set worked out great, so now I am willing to part with some of these originals. You can see some in the enclosed picture.
If you need something specific, send me a message privately and we'll talk.

Quoted from Aniraf:I have these leftover from my restoration. They are fairly nice. Is anyone interested?

I could use the plastic from the back upper left corner if no one has claimed it.

Do you have the back left corner plastic?
Quoted from ChrisPINk25:Hey all,
I have my old plastics available. Let me know if you need anything. The one middle target plastic is cracked[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from metal-mods:For the first Firepower. Center decal and ring are both chrome mirror, whereas the Firepower 2 picture has an "oil slick" chrome center that shows different colors depending on lighting and eye movement.

I’m in for a set of four. How do I order?
Quoted from metal-mods:Yes, I would definitely go with translucent red. And I'm with Gorgar666 on the standard chrome center not being as good as the oil slick center.
I added both the Firepower and Firepower 2 sets to my shop so you can order with ease. Please note each listing has variations for standard chrome centers or oil slick centers.
Don't want silver chrome? That's fine as well! I have every color in chrome, except yellow or orange. Just be sure to message me. All orders come with transfer tape for center decals and outer rings.
Just ordered a set, thanks. Will post pics once installed.
Quoted from Xtraball:AirWolfNH what caps are you going to use and from where?
I went with translucent red from Pinball Life.
Quoted from RGarriott:I have one on my fp and you don’t even know its there. The only thing that you see is the transition in the shooter lane from wood to the clear plastic. [quoted image]
How hard was it to install?

I was in the middle of a game today and then suddenly whenever I press either flipped, it scores points. It is also scoring points when the ball pops out into the shooter lane.
Any idea where I should look first? Everything else seems to be working normally.
Thanks!
Quoted from iamdrunker:You possibly have a switch that needs adjusting. Try to see how much it scores when it closes and eliminate the switches the score more or less then that.
BILLC479 post above is a good place to start.
Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. Will give it a try.
Quoted from AirWolfNH:Thanks, I was thinking the same thing. Will give it a try.
That was the issue. All fixed. Thanks again.

Yes, that is correct behavior.
Quoted from GLSP3022:Alright, calling all Firepower specialists! I've just begun work on a Firepower and have been working on getting the game operating 100% before doing a hardtop installation, etc.
I have a question about the game rules. When I start 3 ball multiball, then complete the 1-6 targets during MB, a lock will re-lite and accept a ball. Is this correct ??? I can't seem to find any documentation on this.
The game has an Altek mpu/driver combo installed. (Maybe Rottendog)
Thanks.

I noticed something strange on my Firepower. Behind the 1-2-3 4-5-6 targets, there is a switch that there seems no way for it to register. They are hooked up and score points.
Looking at pictures of other Firepower’s, I do not see this. Even how the rubber goes on is different.
Has anyone ever seen this?
