Quoted from cottonm4:Wow. Pinside has Cheetah listed in the price range of $6,000 to $7,000. Big Game is priced in at $740-860. Quicksilver is priced in at $5300-$6200.
I tried getting big game up by making what it was sold for public, all the past ads are not sold or private I'm guessing that's why it hasn't changed
I did a playfield swap like a year or so ago. the shooter lane groove isn't centered and is to the left some so when I pull plunger it rattles up the playfield 70% of the time. anyone have this issue with cpr? I guess I need to get a dowel and sand it to be aligned properly. tried adjusting the shooter but won't move over far enough.
Quoted from slochar:Is the playfield centered or off to one side at all? You can remount the pf hanger brackets to correct. Maybe enlarge the shooter hole as well if there's room.
You can check the shooter groove itself against whatever your donor cabinet playfield was to see if it's similar/out of spec. I think it would have been unlikely that Stern changed that way back when (different drill pattern on cabinet) but you never know.
I don't have the original anymore but I did compare it when I did and the new one was definitely way to the left,more than the original. we bought this cheetah and it came with the new pkayfield so I couldn't contact cpr about it. it's definitely sitting correct in the cabinet. I've never sanded a shooter lane so should be interesting to see if I fuck it up or not.
Quoted from cottonm4:You need a rotary grinder bit and open up the hole the shooter rod the beehive locates to.
2 of my Stern pins had the problem of the shooter rod not being aligned to the groove in the play field. I had to grind away some wood to move the beehive. Fortunately, I did not have to move it so far that a "hole" could open up in the wood behind the beehive. If that were the case, I would have had to done some carpentry work to fill in the area that became visible.
EDIT: The short answer is that you need to move the beehive.
it's moved as far as I can get it to the left. any more and it would hit the shooter guard. Definitely have to re sand the groove.
