Quoted from ktownhero:I did Cliffy's & Mantis protectors on all of my scoops, might want to consider that depending on how worn they are. The Mantis protectors are pretty inexpensive but they really protect the hole and also keep a perfect circle for consistent results when the ball is kicked out.
The Cliffy carbon fiber protectors look cool and are great for covering up some wear, but they don't actually protect the scoop itself all that much. Just the art around it.
Thank you for the insight I truly appreciate it!
Quoted from Eryeal:Sorry, my definition of recently is more like in the past 12-24 months in terms of life of the pin. I wasn't talking like in the last 8 weeks. I think just about every pin value has dropped recently in the past few months. I still say games like WCS and NGG, time proven classics that consistently top the value/fun charts, stand the most chance of still increasing in value. It wouldn't surprise me to see NGG become a $4k game in the next 1-2 years, and WCS near $3k.
And as a disclaimer, this isn't cheerleading - I want a NGG and have never had one, and I recently sold my WCS. I have no vested interest in seeing any of these machines go up.
You can't really find a nice WCS right now for under 3k. Been looking A LOT. I think pinsides avg prices are a bit lower

Quoted from matiou:Yep! Cleaning the flipper opto is a really easy and non intrusive job and it can give surprisingly good results!
Cleaned it and it seems to be much better. It was would hardly make it to the goalie and now it seems to rip. I want super snappy flippers!

I'm getting ready to do my first full shop and I've just been making myself really familiar with the play field. I noticed the vuk light is mounted oddly but it looks like it wasn't messed with or completely stock if that makes sense. Can anyone else show me theirs or tell me what is wrong with mine LOL?

Quoted from eharan:Can you let me know the part numbers for those upgrades you did. I was just on Comets site and couldn’t find them. Thanks!

I really can't state how good the pop bumpers look in person. Pictures don't do it justice.
IMG_20200707_015600 (resized).jpgI just recently finished a full shop job on My World Cup soccer. I noticed the flashers were not working, so I replaced the fuse, reseated all of the connections, and ran a test. The flashers were very weak and then after running the test about 10 times, each time they got weaker and weaker and would eventually not flash at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
