Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure
Williams, 1993Hi!
For some reason, at sometimes, when the player hits the three stand-up targets shown in the attached picture, the ball jumps and hits the glass heavily. I suspect actually that the culprit is the stand-up target circled in the picture below. Each time it almost gives me the creeps!
How could I get rid of such airbumps?
Thanks for any info!
Known problem with the game. That's also why there's a ball save for a standup switch hit to outlane drain.

This.
Quoted from bemmett:Happens to mine all the time,never heard a reliable fix, just something to live with
Me too.
I had this problem with mine when I first bought the machine. Back in the day I read of a fix on RGP - over time the targets seem to yield a bit and slightly bend leading to air balls when hit. I replaced the three targets with new ones and replaced the spring in the mechanism. Never had a problem with air balls since.

If your game is clean and the flippers are in good mechanical condition, step down to the orange coils.
Williams over-powered them (blue coils)for on-location dirty playfields.
The orange coils should be fine in a home environment where the game is kept clean and waxed.
Plus your less likely to break stuff.
I can hit the ramps with either flipper (back handed too) with the orange coils. Then again I am a professional. :p
