La Porte, TX
My Slings plastics are broke off at the front, which is ok. I’m looking for a set of clear slings Protectors that would find good. Thanks.

Quoted from yancy:My FPII backglass had a mix of warm & cool frosted white 1-SMD, Pinball Life "Ablaze" brand. Didn't seem too bright to me and I'm pretty sensitive to that stuff. There's a lot of masking area, helps keep the overall brightness down. I've heard people recommend using those cheap old flat-top style frosted LEDs. They kinda suck on playfields, but great for turning down backglass brightness.

Quoted from yancy:It's easier on later balls since letters carry over. For example, if you start ball 2 missing one letter, you just need to complete that one letter and spell it twice more to get credit for three completions on a single ball. Also a good thing to focus on in multiball.

Quoted from ss-pinball:FP2 isn't the only pin that uses those caps. I think Laser Cue and maybe even another title or two use them.
Some folks use Firepower caps or just mod out like you have.
I’ve looked everywhere for this type cap....

Quoted from JakeJones07:I recently picked up an FPII. I seem to only be able to hit the ramp by accident. Is there any trick to hitting the ramp? Which flipper do you have the most luck with?
....inlane rolls only, one notch Before end of the flipper....catch Then flip won’t do it...I’ve tried,! believe me.
Quoted from yancy:To be honest I rarely try to shoot the ramp. Not really worth the trouble unless it's lit for extra ball. But I definitely shoot it from the right. Not really a feasible backhand unless you get lucky and smack it on the fly.
how do you lite xtra Ball?
Quoted from snyper2099:I have always agreed. So, I did something about it. I modified my game so that the mystery ramp is always on and any completion scores a mystery award. The coolest part is that during multiball, the mystery award scores double. I plan on posting how I accomplished this but need to take better pictures and explain what’s involved.
The scoring is so much more balanced now. The ramp is a very hard shot so now the value of hitting it more matches it’s difficulty.
Yes, please do. I’ll be waiting...lol

Quoted from topkat:I finally got my pf back in the machine
Curious how many of you have added the speech? I know swlllie has done it’s and said a few sounds get cut out. But I think speech adds a real coolness to first one.
I am seriously considering it for the one I plan on keeping. Thanks for any thoughts.
Quoted from Tomass:I must have missed it but how do you go about adding speech to FP2?
plug and play. its a combo board with roms. ready to go. your old sound board will need to be removed a have fun
nd replaced. check the link.
Quoted from Dayhuff:Thought I'd post this question here for all the FP2 experts. I was playing the game the other day when I noticed that the upper right pop bumper quite working. I put it in a switch test and it does not register at all. I put it in a solenoid test and it doesn't fire the solenoid either, which I thought was very strange as I would think it would show some sign of life in either test but so far I've not gotten it to do anything. I wanted to jumper the ground tab on the transistor and the solenoid but didn't have any wire with me. But what would cause neither the switch or the solenoid to not work?
John
If the quick and dirty coil test doesnt fire the solenoid from the tran tab. Follow the trace from the tran to the connector. Connector wire to under the PF to the pop. Maybe cut wire, diode disconnect, cold solder....

Quoted from Joco22:Anyone know the measurements of a Firepower 2 backglass? Saw this framed backglass in a store and looking to buy it, but wanted to be sure it was original. Appears so.
