Just finishing up a full restoration. Went smoothlly, new playfield, cab redone and only had one switch issue. I am having a problem getting the right outlane ball gate to work properly. I reassembled exactly as she came out, simple bushing with a pawl that has a pin that slides in a shaft that allows to gate to normaly pop out and then return when the right outlane is triggered. My problem is I cannt get the gate shaft correct. I am getting too big a range of movement. When i set it to the right for opening where it doesnt quite hit the woodrail, when it returns it flies back and closes off the inner lane on the right. I have included pics and was hoping someone would share apic of theres so I can compare. Lot of slop in the busing but those arent repairable that i know, but that shouldnt cause an issue. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Ahh, I see a hole in the original playfield, nit sure what was in there. All the wireforms are accounted for. If I could get a good pic I can come up with something

Yes I saw thatnandni went back to original playfield and saw the hole. However I don't remember removing a post here and if so I don't have it. I certainly can make but wonder if it's the dqme.fquge asbthe wire form on the same lane. Was hoping someone would just have a look at their playfield and see if it's the same diameter material and just a single.post. closenup would be good.

Thanks skydive. I found the hole in old playfield and there were several rusty finish nails. Found a pic with it. Now just tryingnto find the right thing to put back in new playfield instead of a rusty finish nail.

what type of SS rod? Welding rod or piano wire?

On my original playfield and in the pics it looks like the pin is a smaller diamter rod than the wire ball guide immediately above it. Can someone verify before i order the size rod i need. Standard wire guide is 3/32 (.093), but that pin looks more like 2mm. Just wanna get the right size rod

Got it squared away- now i have an issue with the left slingshot not firing all the time. I have adjusted the gaps on the leaf switches and if i manually activate them they will fire kicker, but when ball hits it doesnt. I can continue to adjust contacts and have cleaned them, but the sequence from leaf switch to coil fire isnt always working. I think i just my have an alignment issue when repopulating playfield and the angles of the switches may be off so ill keep at it. May remove the coil and bracket and leaf switches and fill all holes with toothpicks and glue and reposition everything.
