I own games from several generations, and have been pondering about this for awhile, and have not been able to find a discussion on this, maybe I'm just not searching the right words or phrases.
So on my SWEP1 and my CC the wires going to the flipper coils terminate in what I know as 'slide-terms'. On my JP and ES, the wires are directly soldered to the lugs of the flipper coils.
As I like to properly maintain these machines, this requires regularly working on and rebuilding flippers. I also work on machines owned by others and have seen many poor soldering jobs on flipper coils. So...
1. Can't the slide-terms be added to the wires to make these jobs easier in the future?
2.Why do I not see this more often on older games? Slide-terms do not cost much and with a simple crimp and a touch of solder is no more difficult or time consuming then soldering directly to the lugs.
3. Any reason I should not convert my games, and those I work on frequently?
