Summary
Dave recounts a Fun House playfield swap using 3D printing for missing parts; discusses flipper mechanism upgrades and maintenance.
Dr. Dave and Dr. John Day discuss recent pinball restoration projects, focusing on playfield swaps. Dave describes his challenging Fun House playfield swap: his first swap where he didn't disassemble the original playfield himself: and how he used 3D printing to fabricate missing parts (spacers, nylon liners) rather than waiting for replacements. They also discuss John's 8-Ball Deluxe restoration, flipper mechanism upgrades (WPC conversions vs. Mata Hari rebuilds), and the importance of properly tightening flipper linkages during maintenance.
The Classic Pinball Podcast welcomes back John Day. Dave takes the helm and interviews John about recent playfield swaps and a wide variety of pinball fixes. John is an electrical engineer with many technical and non technical skills. Please join them for a great exchange on a wide variety of topics between two seasoned pinball technicians.
