Just joined the club. My getaway is at my buddies right now but gotta get them next to each other with a blacklight over them. My car buddies love it, definitely going to buy another one if I can find.

My machine had alot of problems with balls bouncing off the center drop down targets. Everything seemed to be working fine but then it would catapult off the target into the glass and often drain as well. Looking at some pics on here it appears I was missing a factory installed piece that deflected any airballs so I made myself a replacement.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Okay where did you all get those great air ball deflectors? I really could use one

My machine did not come with one either. Go back one page in this forum to page 8 and you can see how I built one super fast and easy to replace it.

I think car pins in general rarely change hands besides High Speed 1+2.

Not sure about leds but I made my air ball mod with an old cd drive and a dremel, any piece of metal will do.

Quoted from cmylxgo:

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of what is causing the massive airballs off the center 3 targets? It happens way to often and most times the ball jump all the way over the flippers.

Do you have the piece of metal over the targets that hangs over, my machine was missing it when I got it but I made a replacement. check post #395 I took pictures of how I made replacement.

Haven't seen kick like that, mine would go straight up into the glass which the metal shield stopped. if your shield stuck out 2-3mm more it looks like it would have stopped it, maybe make a new longer shield or see if you can adjust the one thats on there forward.
