I'd question if you are measuring it right ? Problem with the app ?

Length of leg shouldn't matter if both are the same length. Front all the way in and back all the way out should provide more than 5.6

LTG : )

Same thing with tales from the crypt. A few people (myself included) have put 1 inch pieces of wood under the back legs.

What length leg levelers did you receive? There are 2" and 3" ones available.

I've occasionally maxed out the back levelers and removed the front ones entirely (if leveling permits) to achieve a greater angle.

Always have this problem on Data East Games - I used to put things under my back legs...

My Data East games came with 28 1/2" legs in the front and 30 1/2" legs for the rear.

So you've got a 3-incher and you're having trouble getting it up. Got it. Any worn-out holes?

A lot obviously depends on the level of the floor. My pinball room slopes to the back (old house with timber floors), so I always have difficulty achieving angles over 6.5.

On the front levelers, make sure you remove the tightening nut, that way you can screw them all the way down.

Because I have timber floors, I need use floor protectors also. So on the back legs I use higher floor protectors and on the front legs I just direct glue felt to the leveler.

I'm fairly certain that due to the DE cabinet/playfield design there are supposed to be 2" longer legs on the back (plus use 3" levelers). This is pure geometry, folks. If you're adding wood blocks on a flat floor and already have 3" levelers, your back legs aren't long enough.

My DESW came with 4 28.5 legs and I have the same problem. Temp solved with longer feet bolts and casters, but still mystified -- highly unlikely anyone swapped these powder coated legs at any point.

The legs for Data East are the same "size" as Bally/Williams. The legs sold by Pinball Life listed for Data East/Sega are really for Sega games that are different in size and intended for use on Sega games designed so no adjust is needed to get the 6.5 slope when installed. I made this mistake when ordering the Data East/Sega legs for one of my Data East games luckly I had a Sega game to put them on.

I put my Tommy blacklegs on a half inch thick piece of wood. Plays great up high, much better when fast.
