Just finished my second flipper rebuild, this time taking on T2. Although the game didn't really "need" it (you could still shoot all the shots and make the ramps), I doubt the flippers had ever been rebuilt. So I went ahead and did it since I hate flaky flippers, after all they are the only real interaction you have with the game.
Although the second time around is certainly easier, I still referenced this guide to make sure it was done right. Thank you Vid for your invaluable input into this hobby, and your in depth explanations. The game plays great with the new snappy flippers.
