Can you use a twist-tie to hold the yellow capacitor in place??

#664 9 years ago

One of the terminals on my flipper's capacitor seems loose (slides back and forth inside the yellow casing) - is this a problem? Can I put a dot of glue against the wire/capacitor body to keep it steady?

#666 9 years ago

I will, this one is brand-new though so that's what got me wondering......?........is there play in these?

Quoted from mof:

Different sleeve lengths!

That's really weird!!! Good catch.....

#760 9 years ago

Ben, you're not making me look forwards to actually installing my new flippers once Taxi is ready???!! Did you install new switches behind the actual flipper buttons?

Quoted from vid1900:

The Coil Sleeve protrudes from the Diode side of the coil. Don't put it in backwards.

Vid, is this true for ALL coils and sleeves (slingshots, pops, etc???). Thanks!!

#769 9 years ago
