Quoted from jlbintn:Thank you.
So, I put my phone on the playfield today. I do not know how accurate it is. At the top between the bottom bumper and the top buttons I got 5.9 to 6.0, as I jiggled the phone. This was laying the phone down parallel to the bottom, i.e., long way across. Laying it horizontal to the bottom dropped the reading almost a three-fourths of a percentage. At the bottom I got 4.9 to 5.2, depending upon how I adjusted the phone, and saw a drop of almost a full percentage when I laid the phone horizontally.
Played with the leg settings to get it level, it wasn't far off and then ran into an interesting problem: the playfield glass would not lock down easily. So after messing around for about an hour (and trying hard to not scratch the new paint job), I decided to bring the front legs all the way back to lowest setting, but left the adjustments in place on the back legs. Got the low end to slope at 5.9, and the game is level.
Soooo.... I'll see how it plays and if I have to I'll drop the back legs back down a bit. For the most part I think I have it where it needs to be.
best option, forget the level and inclinometers. take the glass off, release balls manually from the top of the PF. if it goes straight down, your good side to side. If it move to one side raise that side, retest until it goes straight down. do pitch second move both levers evenly, play a game or 50, you like the speed, its good, too fast or slow adjust and retest until happy. Re-verify side to side in case you didn't adjust pitch quite evenly. Play game and enjoy it. Don't overthink it.
