Hi everyone. I obtained this F-14 about a month ago and am slowly going through it. One of the issues I came across was with the "spinner". It does not always return to the correct position. As you know this can cause problems. The ball can hit the edge of it and drop down the pf without any score. It's almost as if it's not weighted enough on the one side to return it to the correct position. I can flip it and it appears to spin correctly with no hangups but does not return to an upright position. I looked at the switch and it appears ok and nothing is bent. Any ideas. Thanks.20131016_150033 (800x600).jpg20131016_150033 (800x600).jpg20131016_150044 (1024x768) (800x600).jpg20131016_150044 (1024x768) (800x600).jpg

I have this issue as well, but haven't looked into it hard. My CP had something blocking the spinner. Maybe it needs to be cleaned/lubed?

Can't really tell from that, but make sure the switch the spinner hits is in the correct position. I know I've put it on the wrong "side" of the spinner before...as in resting on top of it when it shouldn't be or the other way around.
