Before I do my first flipper rebuild, looking for some clarification on this suggestion, Vid. Are you saying that the gap between the crank and the bushing should be identical to the gap between the bat and the playfield (.7)? You say "between the flipper and the bushing" but above the playfield, of course the playfield will be between the bat and the bushing? Probably a silly question, but would like to be confident on this.
Quoted from vid1900:I'm showing the Gap Tool on the Flipper Bushing NOT installed in the playfield, just for clarity.
I can hear some of you moaning that you did not get a tool with your game. Lucky for us, most credit cards are about .7mm thick. Cut a notch in your card and make your own. Don't cut through the magnetic strip or the embossed numbers, if you ever want to use the card again.
The original Williams instructions show the tool being used between the Crank and the Flipper Bushing. It is much easier to put the tool above the playfield, between the Flipper and the Bushing. That way the tool is far from the under playfield clutter. If it is your first time adjusting flippers, you can rubber-band the tool to the flipper so you don't have to worry about it falling off.GAP.jpg 30 KB
