    I'm happy to do it. I just don't want people thinking I'm a DB for starting another thread. RI bin should make it a sticky when I do it so it's always on top and easy to get to.

    Wow, he's been churning out guides like a madman. Since both of the collected threads are now stickied and beelzeboob's is already updated and revised I'm not sure I should bother. Please advise.

    Any chance for an "easy to read" Gottlieb Bulletproofing guide?
    Something similar to the bally/stern and williams guides with helpful pictures and clear directions.

    I just took shipment of an EBD that has drop targets with all the ink worn down, and the 2 ball has dropped for good. Is there a guide for replacing the plastic targets on a drop target bank?

    You just need a screwdriver, nut driver, and some common sense. Nothing magical tearing down drop target banks.

    Some long needle nose pliers are good for the springs though.

    That's kind of a relief...thought maybe there was some tricky stuff I should research before ripping into it. thanks for the reassurance.

    I just rebuilt my flippers in #the_walking_dead but the plastic paddles that push the OES open are now catching on the short part of the EOS on their way back to rest. Does anyone have any thoughts? I guess I could file a bit of the plastic down to make the clearance.

    Trim the end of the switch. It just needs the 'rivet' part to connect.

    You weren't lyin'. It took me a while to figure out how to re-align the seven-target bank, but now it looks and operates so much cleaner. thanks.
