    Is it possible to do it from just raising the pf? or do I have to take the pf out? I am going to redo the flippers and slingshots in a couple of months.. I suppose I will need to have someone over that is good at soldering too?

    Thank you for the replies and the kind words

    When I get back from Niagara on Tuesday I am going to take a look at the flippers, mainly the one on the left as it does get stuck sometimes and you have to press the flipper button one or two more times to get it to go back to home position.

    I am going to take a look at the left flipper assembly as the left flipper does drag on the pf a bit so the problem could be caused by a height issue maybe a broken or cracked spacer or something. The right flipper works flawlessly and doesn't have any pf drag at all.

    These are Williams style flippers so any tips on how to adjust the height properly would be GREATLY appreciated

    As for the slingshots I just really want to replace the blades as they are all bent from use (as this used to be a on location pin at the CNE)

    Thank You

    Thanks "Tall Man"

    Where do these forks go? Cause whoever changed the flippers but Williams ones on the Gottlieb.

    Thanks again

    I am going to check the left flipper out on Tuesday to see what the deal is with it. I feel confident that if I run in to trouble I will be able to count on the people here for help and guidance as has been shown in the past and just a few minutes ago too.

    I am going to take a picture of how it looked before I start to take it apart and hopefully will remember what goes where and how. I just hope that the problem is obvious and easy to repair lol
