How Not to Ring

Posted on by

Today, a short tutorial from your friends at Firebird, in case you’re considering putting new rings on your pinball machine. Please DO NOT use the following methods we’ve seen in actual pinball machines in recent weeks. Thank you.

While you may have lots of rubber bands around the house, they ARE NOT suitable replacements for rubber rings. Please do not use rubber bands in your pinball machines.
Please use the correct size rubber rings. Although you might call this solution “creative” or “thinking outside the box,” we just call it “wrong.”
Let’s just call this “other.” If you’re thinking of doing anything “other,” just don’t. Can you tell what this Pinball MacGyver used here? Check below for a closer look!
Yes, a broccoli band was wrapped around these metal guides. Don’t. Just don’t.
