Just a little Public Service Announcement for anyone who might be reading through this and contemplating whether or not to rebuild the flippers on a game they have...

I have rebuilt the flippers on both of my tables (1976 Williams Space Odyssey and 1980 Stern Flight 2000). One of my good friends got his hands on a 1978 Williams Lucky Seven last year and I kept trying to convince him to buy a flipper rebuild kit for it. Finally, he ordered one last week. I went over last night and did the work for him.

You should have seen his face once we were done and he played a couple games with his new flippers in place. That slow, loopy gameplay was gone. Instead, the ball was going everywhere and the whole table played at a much faster pace. He was shocked at what a huge difference it made. We hit his spinner with some silicone lubricant and that thing was absolutely singing afterward with the new ball speeds going.

If you own an older table and haven't done this, give it a try. You will NOT be disappointed! Best $50.00 you can spend.

Thanks Vid, as always for these great guides!
