I have a quick question about Bally stand up targets. I'm fixing up a Centaur and noticed there's no foam cushions (weather stripping) behind any of the targets. I'm used to seeing foam on all my Williams stand up targets. Did Bally just not do that in 1981 or is my foam just missing from all the stand ups?

Thanks.

Quesetion: Regarding that one bulb socket under the playfield of my Centaur that acts as a fuse or whatever; does that socket need to remain as a light bulb or can it be converted to an LED along with the rest of the game lighting?

Interesting that Pinwiki says neither Centaur nor Centaur II have it. Mine certainly does and it is a very average Centaur from the middle of the production run. I think Pinwiki is at least mistaken on that part.

Having just gotten everything back together on my Medusa rebuild, I'm now baffled by how to level the drop targets to the playfield. Right now they are well below the playfield and the ball gets stuck behind them constantly. This is easy to adjust on games like Centaur, with the bottoms of the assembly having a dovetail slotted adjustment. But Medusa does not appear to have any adjustment for the drops. What am I missing? There must be some way to adjust. Here's pics.

There's no adjustment screws I can find. Other Medusa owners with a CPR playfield report this issue as well. I'm going to add a 1" wide strip of magnetic rubber, about 1/16th" thick, to the inside base of the drop targets. This should do the trick I hope.

Problem solved. I went ahead and grabbed some sheets of magnetic rubber from Home Depot. Five bucks. (Frost King brand in the ventilation department). I cut 1" wide strips. Each strip is about .015" thick. I used three layers for a total of .045". Slipped into the base plate of the drop targets no problem. Stays put. Drops are now level with the playfield.
