Today i installed the plungers on both sides
Added some nice curves to the front cause i wanted the ply 3 layers deep at the plungers to keep them straight. They will probably need to have some kind of sleeve though to keep in square and reduce the wear on the ply but for now its not too bad.
I have also made some changes to the bumper that leads onto the flipper. It was just temporary before so i adjusted it to point in the right direction.
Month: July 2009
First flipper installed and working
I have installed the first flipper, its a bottle opener keyring bolted to a M10ish bolt that connects to the underside flipper assembly.
The underside flipper assembly is a few bits of aluminum channel and a 240V actuator there is also a small spring used to return the flipper to its home position.
