Supposedly, the starting point is to level the bottom edge of the cabinet.

Quoted from Runbikeskilee:Second what Dono said. Have to high tap an EM bought to a show.
It is not uncommon for the line voltage at a pinball show at a big exhibition hall to drop well under 110 V when all the machines are active. I've measured as little as 107 V coming out of the line chords before, but most of the time it is somewhere between 110-114v and you need to high tap or the game will play really poorly.
I have acquired a Variac, and have used it at shows. Works great.
Quoted from Dono:All good advice; only exception would be bringing EMs to shows... I always high tap them, and they still don't quite have the snap they do at home on normal tap.
I remember one York show several years ago . I brought an "Old Chicago" to sell for a friend. It was an unusually warm and humid weekend. When the air conditioning came on in the hall, the AC coming to the games must have been maybe 105V or so. The flippers on the game could barely send the ball halfway up the playfield!
Needless to say, the game didn't sell. Once it was back at my friend's house, it played fine.
