When the ball goes through the 3 and 4 top rollover lane it hits this white plastic type guide. Not sure if this is correct? Does your ACD look like mine under the bulls eye target?

It should be a one piece plastic throughout that area. Pinball Rescue has them, though a bit pricey.

Yea an upper plastic and a lower plastic which you is missing.

I didn't think to check pinball rescue at http://pinballrescue.net/Plastics_Abra_Ca_Dabra.html
I have the upper plastic and just removed it to take the picture.
Thanks

With that lower plastic the ball will travel much easier from below. Flipping the ball at the 2nd from top drop target can result in a rebounding ball to that angled part of the white plastic, the ball will continue up through that ball guide. For a few years I just had 2 rubber rings set up in that area. The rings have more friction and the ball will not shoot up through the lane. 2 of those 2 part plastic posts are required to mount both playfield plastics.

These pictures tell the story. Just what I needed. Thanks

I got the guide plastic from Pinball Rescue. It works great, but I did have to cut it back a quarter inch to keep it from hitting the target.

I will take that into consideration. Really like the game play on this sensational player. I was really missing out on not having this game in my collection. Can't wait until I square away the top arch issues.

Yep.

Once you get that bottom plastic you will be set. Love me some ACD!

If you want to make it more difficult, put it on 5 balls. Much harder to beat on 5 balls, because you have to get both sides dropped before you can advance the bonus. Plus, you don't collect both 2 and 3 for getting either. I found it a bit too easy on 3 balls.

It is a great game, almost on par with Atlantis, and a great looking game too.

Definitely plays better on five balls. Fun game, but my favorite wedge head is still Volley.

you don't hear that to often, but i am with you volley is a great game. if it had more mainstream art it would be a sought after title. most people don't give it a chance due to the art package

I really like all campy art. Love those triple drop bank ricochet shots right back to the flipper.
