Boy it's too bad you don't have a nice original Firepower back glass. Very impressive regardless

Quoted from setzkor:

And of course there is that fancy dancy gold sticker in the apron area, confirming CPR Gold.
Next of course Travish will need to explain why he's going to go with white flippers and flipper rubbers, rather than the traditional yellow/red pairing. Do you have something special in mind?

I think that's the flipper color combo that came from the factory. White on white? That's what the color combo is on the pinball arcade version.

I have a completely redone, bulletproofed Firepower board set (cpu and driver ) available if anyone is interested. Shoot me an offer. They've been in the box since I got them back last year from getting rebuilt.

Anyone know where i can get the thin nut that crews on to the power switch underneath the cabinet?

Quoted from Billc479:

It might be easier to buy a new switch and rob the nut from it.
I don’t recall seeing just the nut for sale.

Not for $18.99. Maybe someone has one sitting around

There is another Firepower that has been converted to the original intended drop targets. I was fortunate to have an early run machine with the correct plastics, 50point switches already in it, which meant the wiring for the reset coils and switch continuity trigger was already in the harness. Got two drop target banks, rebuilt and cleaned them, added molex connectors while wiring them for future ease of maintenance on them and it works flawless! Just waiting on decals and it’s done! Love it this way! Also added the chrome pop bumper cap decals on two yellow, two red caps, the Firepower coin door inserts and a WPC style start button.

Quoted from Clytor:

For those who have done the conversion to drop targets, is it really worth the extra routing work for a 10 point target?

They are worth 50 actually. Points wise, no, if you have to do some cutting on your playfield, no. So I guess my answer is No, lol. I was lucky and have an early Firepower with the switches already installed and wired. My wires were also present for the coil resets and drop target all down switches. All neatly tucked into the existing wire bundles under the playfield with black tape on the cut ends neatly. Love the conversion, such a better game with drops.
