Chesterfield, MO
Quoted from Marten:I recently did a flipper rebuild and a playfield polish on my roadshow and am NOT liking the results.
The flippers seem super strong now and the ball flies around like a bullet. It hasn't happened yet but
I'm afraid broken plastics are in my near future.
The main suspects now are the flipper coils.
Whoever wrote the manual must have been confused as there are two different coils listed. It says they should be the orange FL15411 (which are installed) but elsewhere it says to use yellow FL11753's. The latter sound a little weak for the main flippers though.
Has anyone ever used them or should I try something in between like the red FL11630's?

Roadshow is a FlipTronics game. The EOS switches have nothing to do with stroke power. The game will play the same with them forced closed or with them completely missing. Here is a description of how WPC FlipTronics games work...

Your choices are slim...weaker flippers or risky play...
