Quoted from meeotch:Could someone confirm the configuration of the Bad Guy mech assembly? The diagrams in the CC manual seem particularly unhelpful w.r.t. the following:
1) The spring that's inside his head, and keeps his face from resting on the switch. I think I've found it in the bottom of the game, and re-installed with a #4 machine screw and washer to the tiny post on the left inside the bracket, but it keeps working its way loose and falling out.
2) I feel like his face should swing freely on the axle, but it seems to hug the metal bracket and stick in whatever position you put it in.
3) On our game, his hat is attached to a long post, which runs through a small bracket welded to the toy support (above the playfield), then continues below the playfield and ends in a "foot" made of a metal slug screwed to the post with an allen screw. This seems like a weird design, because the foot is actually long enough to get jammed in the bottom of the support bracket if it were to turn sideways - and even when it's properly aligned, it's just sort of sitting on the plunger of the coil that launches it. See the attached pic.
It looks like you might be missing the flat guide plate with the square hole in it that the square shaft runs up and down in. Click on my pic and enlarge it. In my pic follow my square shaft up and you can see the plate with the square hole in it. That's what stops the shaft from turning. If you have your manual, page 2-25 Bad Guy Mech Assy, It's hard to figure out, but Upper drawing of the bottom view, # 45 the machine screw goes through it and if I'm not mistaken, it could be #44 01-15155 Bad Guy assy bracket stop but I could be wrong too. You would be able to see it better if they had a front view, but unfortunately they don't.
Good luck and enjoy your CC.
