Quoted from flb_gulfstream:

I just set up an account and placed an order with The Pinball Resource. I hadn't done business with them before. It was a pleasant experience and will work with them again.
I have used Marco Specialties before. That, too, was a good experience so I will also use them in the future.
It's probably best to spread business over as many of these parts suppliers as possible in order to keep them around.
I can't wait to get the coils and flipper rebuild kits. I am anticipating this will be an entirely different game once those repairs are made.
Thanks again.

I can see the money pit forming now.
After rebuilding the flippers I will probably talk myself into rebuilding the pop bumper mechanisms and the kick-out hole mechanisms.
My wife will be extremely happy about this.

Quoted from flb_gulfstream:

“Enhanced coil stops” are included in the Williams flipper rebuild kit KT-WFLIP-04 that I ordered from The Pinball Resource.
I will start looking at parts for the pop bumpers. I replaced two cracked skirts when I first got the machine. The metal cages were a little pitted so I tried to polish them but now I wish I would have done a better job (or just replaced them).
I want to look at the coil sleeves on the pop bumpers and kick outs. The new coils for the flippers come with sleeves.
I wasn’t sure I’d ever get the machine running when I first got it so I tried doing just enough to get it going. Now that it’s been running, I’m trying to make things the way they should be. Hopefully I don’t mess something up in my efforts to make things better.
