First make sure that the arms are square and the spinner sits at rest right.

Then add this.

Tiny bit on both arms at where they pass through the bracket and a bit on where the arm that goes through the playfield attaches. Dab with a cloth afterwards.

Now you’ll be rippin! Also this stuff lasts FOREVER. seriously thousands of plays later and they still rip.

I sand the arms so they're nice and clean, make everything square, and then put some teflon gel lube on them. Even just the lube got the spinner on one of my games from 5 spins to 30

Silicone dry lube would work good

Polish the spinner arms with Flitz. After alignment and proper balance at rest, one drop of Super Lube on each bracket pivot point.

is there a proper height from the playfield that the bottom of the spinner should sit? I have one on my high speed that tends to stop the ball dead 50% of the time so I know its not level or is not the proper height.

You want the face of the spinner straight up and down or at worse slightly tilted forward. If tilted back, that can cause hang ups. If the bottom of the spinner is tilted forward more than the top, that’s bad news bears.

I bought some of this product recently and WOW.... makes those spinners fly.

Saw another Pinsider recommend this one in a different thread, I tried it and YEP, my spinners are greased lighting now!

Is this relative to the playfield or the ground? In other words would the spinner be perpendicular to the playfield or the ground?

Either wouldn’t hurt, but better if it’s with the ground. You just don’t want the bottom of the spinner pointing forward at rest. That gets the rejects and dead shots.

Got it! Thanks for the info!

I think it has to be to the playfield. If it was to the ground then the bottom would be pointed forward. I have mine now with the bottom slightly tilted back and it made a world of difference.

Thanks

funny because for a couple minutes last night I struggled with this too. in order to make the bottom lean back bend the spinner slightly but evenly forward. a little bend goes a long way. if you bend it to far, push it backwards some. to remove the spinner just push in on the shortest set arm of the spinner. but I can tell you after removing mine and adjusting the next two there is no need (unless not squared) to remove them.

thanks
Blake

no need to be sorry. I pushed from the middle of the spinner with even pressure. Which is really bending the arms back a bit. Its physics as you have gravity pressing down on the spinner being held up by the arms. As you change the pivot point of the spinner in conjunction with the point its being held at (the arms) it has no choice but to react accordingly.
Thanks
Blake

you got it. and if you know the housing or arms are all bent up you can take it out and get it back square before making your adjustments. Also cleaning up the arms with a paper towel before you put a dab of whatever lubricant your using is a good idea as well.
mine went from spinning for a second as the ball passed to continuing to spin as I was hitting the ball for a second time after a full loop around the playfield.

thanks

Its a Canadian thing, it's built in......lol
