I've very slightly modified my CSI to make it play alot better, which it now does! The left, middle and right orbits in CSI are super fun to hit and lightning fast, and really zoom the ball to the flippers. To experience it, you need to disable both the left and right posts in the upper arc of the playfield. It's a blast....but you lose out on absolutely key things, like the pop bumpers (key for building points) and most important, all your upper flipper shots.
On factory settings, the ball is always going to the pops and upper flipper, which can get a little boring....disabling one post improves things, but gets you less than halfway there...
So I added some blue rubber squares and Velcro to some key places on the game....ball guides etc. Now missed skill shots will go to the pops, like they should...and controlled orbit shots will too. But normal orbit shots will fly around the game.
IM pretty sure I just added hundreds of $$$ to this games market value.
Here are the pics: totally invisible from the players perspective.
