Cyclone Williams, 1988

Hi, I have a Cyclone, and whenever I hit the center drop target the ball will hit the glass. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Darren

I had a similar problem but in a different machine with a center stand-up target. It turned out that I had installed a far stronger flipper coil on one side, so the ball would hit the target with too much power that it flew off the target (like a ball swing).

If you have the right coil, try adjusting your EOS switch so that the flipper bat hits with less strength (but be carefull that it can produce enough velocity for the ball to make the ramps)

Common with cyclone, I removed center plastic and traced it out on a piece of lexan plastic .Make it longer than original plastic in front.The lexan can be cut to size with good metal snips and clean up edges with file This plastic protector stops ball from hitting glsss
