Field notes
The rubber-ring entry compares diameter and stiffness, noting that part of a standard kit may be the wrong durometer for early solid-state flippers. In another post, the author describes insulating a garage so a drop-target reset is only a distant click, making it possible to work after the house goes quiet.
