Looks like they sit a tad high.

Are the holes on the bottom smaller on the new ones?

#4 9 years ago

There seems to be a flange along the bottom which I guess will cause them to not sit flush with the playfield. Grind it flat if you can't adjust the height.

#5 9 years ago

yep, looks like I will be grinding the little flange

And holes do look smaller, but I think the flange is the main problem

Yeah, mine had that too. However, the piece that the drop targets rest on is "adjustable"

The adjustable piece is only connected on the outside, and the area that the drop targets stop on is bendable with a pair of pliers.

I had the exact same issue with mine, but between the slotted holes in the bracket, and the bendable piece, I had to do no modifications to the drop targets.

Hmmm....interesting. Any pics?

Yep, no problem. Sorry about the lack of pics being sent. My phone takes terrible pictures, so I have to get out the digital camera, which never has a charged battery

All of the drop target banks have this same adjustment, although the single one is just slightly more difficult, due to the housing assembly. But it can still be adjusted.

Emperor Ming awaits!
