Very dumb question I'm sure but.. I've bought 3 flipper rebuild kits for my friend's Funhouse. I didn't realise you could change them to the newer style EOS spring rather than the compression spring on the plunger. He has got the old style bases - so no holes for the spring on the EOS plate.

Since I'm going to do all three is it worth me just buying the bases and converting them to the newer style?

Also, if I do this, do I have to re-install the yellow capacitors? Can I not just leave them off? (My TAF doesn't have them)

Thanks in advance.

I had bought the ones that were listed as being for Funhouse - https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/WFLKIT (I didn't buy them from Marco as I'm in the UK).

I have managed to cancel the order though, so can buy whatever instead.

I guess what I need to know is, do I have to reinstall that yellow capacitor? Why is it needed on Funhouse but not on TAF, for example?

EDIT: Regarding drilling, thanks.. but to be honest the baseplates aren't that much to buy and the chances of me screwing it up are far greater.

Just realised it's not as simple as I thought because the newer rebuild kits have "normally open" EOS switches, and Funhouse uses a normally closed one. Basically creating a whole load of extra hassle for myself.
