Quoted from dboeren:I want to refresh my lower flippers (uppers seem fine as they only make short shots), they're a bit weak and are presumably original.
What I need help with is understanding whether I need a flipper rebuild kit, new solenoid coils, or both. They aren't BAD, but I'd like a bit more power to hit the top ramps.
Thanks!
In my honest opinion, I would go to pinball Life and order new flipper assemblies as you can even order the coil you want. You can get a rebuild kit but by the time you get that and a coil, limit switch, its almost the same price and you are going to solder anyways. That is what I have been doing.
