I had a broken white rubber fall down the playfield while playing the other day. It wasn’t obvious where it came from, and I didn’t have much time so left it for a later day.

I had time just now to move the pin out from the line and remove the glass for a deeper inspection.. and I’m afraid I found where it came from.

There is a slingshot just south of the top 3 lanes. Mine doesn’t have a rubber there, and it looks like it should.

The problem is, to replace it, it looks like the entire Munchkinland upper playfield has to come off. Having read the instructions in the manual, it looks fairly involved, and the colors of the cables that need to be disconnected don’t correspond to what I’m seeing (perhaps they changed with the various versions). I have a 75th anniversary 7.5 with 1.1 boards.

I’m hoping someone is going to tell me a way to sneak in a rubber without taking the play field off. It looks like it might be possible to take off the two plastics above it, but I’m not entirely sure.

Anyone have experience changing this rubber, or very familiar with removing Munchkinland?

Ugh...

You may not have to totally remove it. You can remove the screws under the spinning house (there are two of them I believe). You must spin the house a certain direction. Lemme see if I can fond a video that may better assist you, one moment...

Here, See if this helps:

I've replaced that and I THOUGHT you just had to remove the clear plastic to replace it, but if you need the upper playfield out of the way, watch the video I posted.

Go into YouTube and type JJP WOZ top sling rubber ring replacement.

I would attach the link, but something is wrong with my YouTube app right now.

WOW, thanks all. I removed the plastic which will get you access to 2 out of the 3 posts, but it looks like the upper play field will have to come up at least a tad to get the rubber around that third post. Off I go to watch the video.

Then I get to figure out why my audio just went super low. Even on 50 it’s super low. Hopefully I didn’t pull something when I lifted the PF.

They have an outage of some sort. I googled it.

Just did this last week. You have to loosen the screws enough to pull up the upper playfield and fit the rubber underneath. Its a tight fit. The video from JJP is super helpful.

Right, you have to lift it just enough to slip the new rubber onto the post, but you don’t have to remove it. You may want to turn the power down on that slingshot to reduce wear on the new ring.
