Dialed In
Jersey Jack, 2017The Lady's arm thing ?
Adjustable below the playfield. A round disc with a nut above it screws into the rod pushing the arm up. A cam turns and pushes the disc up, gravity lets it down.
Loosen the nut, screw disc up or down as needed. Retighten the nut.

Awesome thax.... im betting mine is to high .
Quoted from bigd1979:Question..... on the ramp diverter.... how far does everyone's go down at the lowest point? Mine seems a tad high and when diverted it hits very high and almost the spotlight..... if super hard it flys lol.
The metal for that is very soft. I tweaked the one here a little so it worked better.
EDIT: Lloyd's way is better, as usual.

I took Betty apart because of the same issue, but didn't see an adjustment. I solved it by bending the ramp slightly upwards.

Note: on early DIs like mine, the the big flat washer that recent DIs have below the spring isn't installed. That was a running change. Adjustment works the same way but the assembly looks slightly different.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Congrats! When did you order? (Just trying to figure out how long the wait line may be currently).
They are producing more than just pre-orders. I called earlier this week on an LE & was told I should have one by the end of the month. 
Quoted from PinMonk:How many plays did that machine have on it to have THAT happen? Had to be a lot.
Yes, I assume a lot.
Quoted from bigd1979:Yep most games with the drop on that spot tend to get damaged from my experience.. especially without mylar .
I don't ever remember a game dropping directly to the center of the switch. Most drop above the switch onto a thick Mylar spot and then roll over the switch.
Quoted from John_I:I don't ever remember a game dropping directly to the center of the switch. Most drop above the switch onto a thick Mylar spot and then roll over the switch.
Tons of games drop on the slot.
Quoted from JWJr:but didn't see an adjustment.
I'd go into Tests - Devices - that diverter, lower it the whole way down. Turn the game off. Lift playfield up and lean back. The part I circled acts just like a leg leveler. Loosen nut, set the disc part where you want it. Tighten the nut.
In the lowered position, you can push the rod/arm up and down to get it where you want it. In the picture my arm is up, not down, I just snapped a quick picture to show where it is below the playfield.

Mine in the picture doesn't have a spring either. I did put a dab of grease on the rod going into the tube to make it slide better.
Spring or not, adjustment is the same.

Check to see if your spring may have been compressed and traveled up too high back up toward the playfield. Maybe it's there but hiding a bit and you can't see it.

Me ? No, there is no spring on mine. ( 5/17 build )
Other Dialed In owners can check theirs if they have a problem.

Gotcha, Sir. I'm just the man who knows the Man.
Quoted from jar155:Tons of games drop on the slot.
Most games drop above the switch and for good reason. I just looked at 40 plus games with ramp returns and only two do this; TZ and RBION. Both have damage... Must be a Pat Lawlor thing.
Edit: I just looked at AS pro and it drops right on the center of the switches too. To me this is stupid as hell.

Fixed mine but it had a washer and 2 springs. It was allready fully down so i removed the washer and adjusted accordingly and all is good now.
Quoted from John_I:Putting the ball drop directly over the switch instead of a little in front of it is mind boggling. Hopefully Cliffy is in full production for this game.
Somewhat standard. My RBION, DH, TZ, got all drop the same.
Just FYI, GOT PF holding up in that area much better than DI
Quoted from TheLaw:GOT PF holding up in that area much better than DI
that can't be, build quality 
Quoted from TheLaw:It's a fair point that won't get too much love here but it indeed needs pointing out.
Even though he already has in this thread and several others? The dude gets his kicks in weird ways.
Ball drops on switch slots has been a bad standard for a long time. I don't know why they still do it. Those areas never hold up to the abuse. Ever.

I'm not one to defend Hazzof's shtick usually but he's only mentioned build quality once in this thread.
His kicks are usually acting like a rebel canadian, which is kind of cute
Quoted from Beebl:I helped a buddy unbox this awesome game yesterday. Had the sim card protector installed from the factory. I think the born on date was 8/9ish...
Awesome... but it looks like a cliffy knockoff but not as good of a fit as the cliffy set. Plus its not protected all the way around but props to jjp for adding something.

Sweet! This has been what ive been waiting for. Is it a standard or LE? Thanks.

U sld just get the whole cliffy set regardless of what jjp adds....well worth it

It looks like the front edge doesn't lay flush with the playfield. Is it lifted a bit or is that an illusion from the angle?
Quoted from PinMonk:It looks like the front edge doesn't lay flush with the playfield. Is it lifted a bit or is that an illusion from the angle?
That was my thought as well
Quoted from Skyemont:This is the shit. This is what I ordered.
Yep that's what i have installed
Quoted from TigerLaw:Sweet! This has been what ive been waiting for. Is it a standard or LE? Thanks.
This one was an LE.
Quoted from John_I:Need something for the mosh pit too.
Cliffy has that covered already too. His set covers both holes.
Quoted from PinMonk:Cliffy has that covered already too. His set covers both holes.
It still amazes me that two of the best games ever AFM and MB had holes that got blasted after just a few hundred plays. For lack of a small hunk of metal. Hopefully at this point hole protectors become part of the original design for all games.

Did they change those posts at the factory? They're different from the early Dialed In (5/17/17) we have here (and they have black rubber).
It's great that these are now being installed at factory but a bit disappointing it wasn't done before.
I showed jjp employees the slight scoop wear at expo in October 2016. They assured me the production models wouldn't have any issues and it would be addressed.
I hope all future pins from jjp come with them preinstalled.

The original AFM didn't get it's hole "blasted" after just a few hundred plays. I bought a near perfect one back in 2000 and it probably had more play than that and the hole still looked good. In fact in those days if you had a good hole to show off (yeah I know...) you used a Kerry internal protector. Using Cliff's product usually meant you were covering an already damaged hole.
Therefore I put in the Kerry S internal protector and it's been in there ever since.
The original PF's got sunken and beat up around the edges but didn't lose the CC in big chunks like today's games. Of course you can find pics of some AFM's with 100k + plays and the hole now could fit a baseball. But no chipping 
But yeah with today's CC protectors should be mandatory.
Quoted from John_I:Need something for the mosh pit too.
So far ive put over 100 plays on mine and have no visible wear at phone scoop ....so much so i didnt add my cliffy yet. The pic u posted has a early playfield and the scoop hole and posts around it are very different than what mine looks like.
My phone scoop is faring well after ~200 plays, but my SIM scoop has the typical damage. I mylared over the damage and haven't seen any additional thrashing, but am really looking forward to the JJP protector so I can turn the upper flipper stronger than 15 (getting a lot of rejects on the middle ramp).
I wish I could stop playing and wait, I really do. I simply can't.
Other than that scoop, however, the clearcoat on this machine is fantastic. I have very, very little dimpling.
Interesting - what's that empty hole in the artwork? Change in production from when the art was done up?
Quoted from Coyote:Interesting - what's that empty hole in the artwork? Change in production from when the art was done up?
Hmm - good question, not really sure. It is located under the left ramp, so you normally can't see that area.

A lot of games have something like this, even WMS games (some, the hole is even drilled out). In most cases the original design called for a GI light there or a switch (not in this case) but space issues or wiring issues caused it to be removed.

I am most familiar with that - I was meaning more DI specific. i.e. What was changed in DI's history that left that there.
Quoted from Lermods:I've had my game 6 weeks, no damage on the Sim csrd hole or phone scoop.
Look at the left edge of the SIM card hole. It's hard to see, so most people don't realize the damage has started.
Does anyone know where I can see photo differences of the minor changes on the playfield between the LE and Standard. Wondering if I should grab a stock STD and some invisiglass or get in line for an LE.
LE vs Standard -- standard has different ramps without the LEDs and without the holes drilled for the LEDs.

Get the LE. End of discussion.

Wow really ? On 15 i make it very easy.... make sure the wire for the switch on the wireform above the entrance to the side ramp is not hanging in the way . I relocated mine with a ziptie bc it looked like it cld b a issue at some point.
