    I just got my dialed in and thought I had the magnet set correctly. It seemed to throw around very well after my initial adjustment to -75. It has only been a week since I got the game but I was then noticing that it grabbed the ball, pulsed and actually threw it downward a bit. (Yes, this was in something like package drop that is supposed to whip it around). I then readjusted with the magnet test and got it working. Then in gameplay, it acted up again. I then tried so many settings during the magnet test that the magnet actually stopped working completely for 5 or so minutes. I can only assume that it overheated.

    I now have it working that it slowly throws it around but I have no faith that it will work again tomorrow. I am almost afraid to touch the settings. This is really bizarre. Could it be that my magnet is overheating and affecting the performance with gameplay? I have a call into Frank but I am completely puzzled as to why I would see such varied and inconsistent behavior.

    Nope. Got a fresh xacto knife yesterday but didn’t have a chance yet. I assume the easiest way is to take magnet out from underneath and cut out from bottom? At least that is what I saw suggested. I looked at the theater and it wasn’t clear to me on how to remove it to get to magnet from top.

    I looked at the manual. Is the theater just 3 screws? It seems the magnet is definitely just 3 screws. If anyone has some details, it would be greatly appreciated.
