Quoted from LTG:Yes. Same in original and remake.
Remake LE uses translucent ones. Original and other AFM remakes use the opaque ones.
LTG : )
LTG I have the remake. I think you mentioned a bulletin on getting the ball launched smooth into the top. Mine rattles and doesn’t make it up top on launch. Could you let me know where to find the bulletin if it exists?
Thanks
John
Quoted from PinballCoug:Is this what you're looking for? It fixed my issue identical to what you describe.

PinballCoug Thanks so much that is it!!!
Quoted from LTG:No idea if it exists. Watch the ball, if it's hitting the bottom of the wireform, raise it a bit. Be sure the plunger hits the center of the ball.
LTG : )
LTG so your correct. Plunger is hitting the right side of the ball. Looks like I am going to have to remove some wood if I want it to hit the center of the ball. Bracket is tight against the playfield as the photo shows. Out comes the sawzall!
Thoughts?

Is the ball setting on the shooter lane switch crooked ?
Loosen the coil/plunger bracket, try moving it to aim better. Be sure coil sleeve isn't worn.
LTG : )
No I pulled the switch down to remove the pressure from it. Sitting perfectly in the ball grove. How do I check the coil sleeve for wear. This machine has had plunger issues it whole life. LOL just getting fixed now.
Quoted from LTG:Have you tried loosening the bracket and moving the coil/plunger to the left a little ?
LTG : )
Yes sir loosened up all three nuts and am pushing it tight against the playfield wood.

Your off center. Ever since I centered my plunger I have not had a single ball not make the super skill shot loop around.
Thanks thats I have no trouble with, except the bracket is pushing tight to the playfield on the left so I also would have to sand or sawzall some of the playfield off on the playfield to move it left.
Quoted from pinballinreno:You shouldnt have to do anything too extreme. Only a slight adjustment is needed.
I just gripped the whole mech, while it was bolted down, and bent it slightly to center it on the ball.
The steel is pretty soft and bends easily.
Thanks worked perfectly, bent that b itch in and working perfect.
Thanks soooooo much!!
No sawzall or sander needed!!
