Quoted from Jigs:

I am looking for print files or a purchasable version for my Firepower cabinet labels.
ie. The service button decal, fuses, install 3 balls, and the rest of the warning etc
I'd prefer printing, but I'd be okay buying something like what flashinstinct sells for wpc
Thanks!

Quoted from keith20mm:

Pawing through my Firepower parts I came across a baggie with four pop bumper caps.
Three of these, "normal", are as in the right side of the photo, the odd one is on the left.
Do any of you know the history on this all red, partly upside down, little freak of nature?

Motorola Pinball, wow that’s crazy.

Why would they reproduce them with a “M”

Quoted from scampcamp:

I have a big problem... I installed 555 sockets in the pop bumpers. (Wires were connected the way the original sockets were)throughout the game.
Everything worked fine before the 555 pop bumper sockets & leds were put in.
At 1st.. it was fine. I then noticed a few controlled leds were not working... most leds turned off in backbox.... then I saw smoke from under playfield.... not sure where from.... but near pop bumpers.
Could this be what Vid1900 was talking about when he mentioned things can go bad if polarities are wrong etc?
Any info appreciated?

Are your bridge rectifiers fused or do you have a Bridges Board? If not it a must mod. incognito bridgeboards are the best...

Are they original, Worn/old flipper switches must go! EOS adjusted right?

#3589 3 years ago

Extremely worn coil sleeve and hardware?? Post pics of everything.

Quoted from hodgesm0:

Hey guys, having an issue with my right flipper, low power and does not hold very well, any weight (i.e. the ball) on the flipper will cause it to drop and start vibrating/popping. I have checked the switch and seems to be functional and adjusted correctly. Could it be a bad coil (hold winding)? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Left flipper works perfectly.

Recently started having this problem myself. Look like the coil springs are too tight. Right flipper in not contacting the coil stop cleanly. Spring appears to be gathering too tightly. It isn’t the sloped style pinball spring. It looks like a standard Home Depot spring....lol.

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.

Too clean.

Quoted from Xtraball:

I think I’m liking these! So I buy a solid color bumper cap of my liking and stick these on? I can do that!

IMO translucent.

Quoted from djreddog:

Joining the club for the first time. Pretty good condition in my opinion. Has a new Rottendog MPU, but game won’t start up fully as it blows one of the fuses when you press start. Haven’t done any troubleshooting yet but hoping to look at it tomorrow. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Congratulations guys. Look incredible.
