    Tumbler
    Media for tumbler
    Tool chest to store pinball parts

    Here are some storage containers. Especially the flat boxes with 18-24 compartments
    https://www.harborfreight.com/search?order=price-low&q=storage

    Here’s a tool box that I use. I store tools in the top tray, and fuses, coils, sleeves, door locks, etc. in the four pull out containers. I bring it with me when I buy a game. Keep a new coin door lock in this toolbox so if you buy a game without a coin door lock or have to drill it, you can install a new one in two minutes and you don’t have to listen to the door flap open and close on the ride home.

    Quoted from undrdog:

    The slingshots have started firing multiple times when hit. If there is guide to adjusting these, please post the link. I couldn’t find it.

    The rubber ring rests against a metal arm that is sticking up out of the playfield. The arm is probably too tight against the rubber, causing the slingshot to fire several times instead of once. Try adjusting the arm away from the rubber ring slightly. See if that fixes the problem.

    Quoted from mbwalker:

    Don't want to derail the thread topic, but since you asked.
    I have one, works great.[quoted image]

    PBR also sells a Palnut Removal Tool (item# GTB-26181+)

    Quoted from undrdog:

    I’m ready to get a tumbler. HF also has ones that vibrate . Which is better?

    The HF tumblers don't last long. Buy one off of Amazon and you'll be a lot happier. Buy pet store walnut media, like for lizards. You'll get three times as much material.

    I bought this Frankfort model tumbler. I've only used it once so far. There's another popular brand name, but I can't remember the name.

    here's a nice seperator (think colander):

    Here's the walnut media that I bought, not a pet store product, but cheap:
