    On a WMS Gulfstream I was restoring. Welded or sodered EOS flipper switches. I certainly hope it was not welded, that would be way too much effort.

    This WTF is inside a '76 WMS Liberty Bell that is currently on eBay. I know Williams EM's inside and out, and cannot even tell what part of the machine this picture might have been taken. Seller says it needs a new power supply. Ya think?

    Quoted from pinballtech:

    After over 40 years as a tech I thought I had seen it all, but this takes the cake. Still shaking my head.

    What game is it?

    Quoted from MrBally:

    Every pin with a rebound rubber at the PHoF has that. Only aboot half at VFW.

    It’s not meant to protect it, it’s suppose to add more bounce.

    Unfortunately no picture, but picked up a EM with a friend today at an estate sale. There was a fork in the 24volt fuse.

    I do have a picture to share…. Flipper Coil completely melted and fused plunger. Yeah, put a fork in it, that will work.

    Quoted from Jigs:

    Thanks! They looked good with the new drop stickers.
    I used this

    I could fill pages with hacks from this game. Seems like a professor had owned it. There was a ton of theory of operations notes and self made hacks. [quoted image]

    @Jigs, I know that’s a Gottlieb, but what game is that. I like that layout.

    Quoted from MrBally:

    Um, that's a Game Plan Sharpshooter.

    Thanks, the round ended flippers threw me off.
