Hi all,

Forgive me if this has been brought yup before.

My 1976 Gottlieb Volley has some flipper drag. I've rebuild tons of earlier style flippers, but haven't done one of this type yet.

1) Do you know if PBR's replacement bushings will raise the flippers away from the play field like Steve's "normal" replacement bushings?

2) If not, is there a way to adjust the height of these flippers? Raise the shaft?

THANKS.

These are the style I'm referencing.

UPDATE: I spoke with Steve today, these are exact replacements for the originals, same height.
