Description
This Data East flipper rebuild kit fits the first 6 Non-Fliptronic titles produced.
Laser War, Secret Service, Torpedo Alley, Time Machine, Robocop, Playboy 35th. and Monday Night Football.
Notes: The first few DE Titles had a very unique “crank/switch actuator” assembly. I cannot state how many titles this was found in other than Laser War, as photos on the internet are not accurate, due to upgrades having been done. I have been informed the first 3 titles maybe. Anyway, this older style is unobtainium, and the newer crank will work, but you should add a bend to your EOS switch, so that the actuator does not open the switch too soon. Examples can be seen in the photo gallery. Even after adding the bend you may have to manipulate your switch to attain the correct 1/8″ gap timing.
For proper flipper rotation, this era of Data East should have a tapered plunger link, not oval!
This kit will work for both left, or right side, just flip the “crank ” over. (see photo gallery)
The kit’s part numbers will be listed below. You can then choose to order the kit, or record part numbers you require, and order individual parts.
If you have weak flippers I do suggest that you order new flipper bat/shaft (white or yellow), and change them when you rebuild your flippers. Part numbers can be found under “Optional Parts” list.
One kit rebuilds one flipper. Remember, this crank unit fits left or right!
