I am tearing down my first playfield for cleaning etc and was wondering,what would be the things to look out for when deciding wether or not to do a complete flipper rebuild? While doing the teardown I was inspecting all four of the flippers and discovered that two of them move smoothly through their entire range while the other two bind slightly when pushed from rest,then are smooth through the rest of the range. It takes a slight bit of force to get them from the rest position. Should I feel any resistance within the movement range,or should they move smoothly throughout? My thing is,I don't want to do a complete rebuild if everything is as it should be.They seem to function fine when the machine is in play though I would like to replace what I have with something stronger coil wise.
