That's on mine. I assume it's to avoid ball traps, made of metal to prevent damage which might allow a ball to smash through/into the lamp board inside the register, which would cause other havoc.

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

It's on the parts diagram for the cash register, just not very visible. On page 67. Item #3 "Deflector bracket, p/n 01-9755"
I don't see any of the main parts vendors showing it as available though.

Quoted from tstone:

It's on mine too.

Question for the owner's group, especially any who have done a pf swap:
My daughter and I are almost done with ours (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/rip-the-parkette-diner-gone-but-not-forgotten-its-diner-still-lives#post-7353386) and one of the fiddly things remaining is the "biff bars", or whatever those metal rails directly beneath the flippers are called.
So one of the things that makes my OCD twitch is how on Diner, art holes were made for the ends of these bars (see waitress' shoe) but at least on my original pf, the bars did not plug into that area but a different hole offset just below. Which... is the same apparent condition on the CPR repro!
[quoted image]
So my question is: relative to the flippers, do the bars *have* to be placed in the dimpled holes (meaning the suggested art alignment was a mistake), OR are they somewhat arbitrary and may thus be placed in the art holes if desired? I really want to put them there but don't want to discover that causes some bizarre problem I never would've imagined since I barely understand the point of the bars in the first place, d'oh.
Also on the subject of holes & alignment in the flipper area: holes for the flipper alignment pins are missing on the CPR. Which... I don't guess those are absolutely necessary since you can align flippers without them (I set mine in-line with the feed guides, as seen in photo). What's the consensus here? I'm leaning toward leaving them out, but drilling holes for those wouldn't be any different for the biff bars...

Looking for CPR Silkscreened playfield silver or gold. Let me know if somebody have something for sale.

Quoted from tstone:

I'm having a frustrating issue, hoping you experts can help!
When I boot up, I get a test report.
It says to check switch, right sub playfield 2, #16.
I have used the manual to identify this switch, it's in the "special" hole, it has white/grey and green/red wires.
The switch looks OK to me, seems to test OK. It isn't jammed or anything, seems to open and close correctly with the wire.
I'm not sure why I'm getting the error.
Also, the special hole seems to work fine during gameplay.
I hate getting that test report and credit dot.
Can someone tell me what I should do next?
thanks!

Quoted from tstone:

Yeah, I hit it almost every game. It gets hit every time a ball goes in the special hole.

I did try it with a pinball...but again, since the switch is "open" when the machine is powered on, I would think the machine thinks it's "closed/activated" to register an error, but I don't see this during the test.

Quoted from DaveTheTrain:

I replaced the saucer on the top left after having an intermittent history of the ball not always activating the switch. (Tried new switch and bending the switch arm over the last year but it always comes back)
I noticed the ball doesn't always sit squarely in the saucer, so isn't depressing the switch. The reason seemed to be the two teeth on the side of the saucer were worn down to nothing.
[quoted image]
So I popped a new one in and when the ball lands it always works... But key word is when.
Now the ball doesn't always land in the saucer from a plunge and sometimes seems to bounce off the deflector. I think the teeth added less clearance and room for the ball to drop downwards and settle.
I checked a diner on location and the teeth are worn away on that one too.
Can anyone confirm the saucer is supposed to have the teeth?
Ours has a playfield protector so I imagine that adds a bit of height. I was thinking I could try lowering the saucer by a few mm with some washers to see if that helps.
