Hello all, new to pinside and have a sample earthshaker #49 and no whirlwind. After my parents years ago put the machine outside in the desert with a tarp over it, my tracks melted. Since then I have the machine back to 100% but the new tracks are a little thicker. I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with the fault ramp making airborne balls. Its not an impossible shot but it worries me when the ball either jumps onto some playfield plastics or even hit the glass. Any ideas how to fix or make it less steep? Thank you

Mine has the guards. I see the metal flap has a bow in it. Its hard to get it not so curved with the thickness of the ramp. Seems like it almost needs a longer flap.

Well ill pull out my Drexel. Thanks!

WOW! Where did you find that prototype backglass?

Can anybody show me in a picture where the Solenoid 2C building flasher is?! I am not finding it very easily. All I know is it is "deep behind the building". Thank you!

My shooter has the red spring in it. It cam barely make it up the sprial to the bypass. It almost always lands in the 100,000 skill shot. Any ideas on how to make it shoot correct? New spiral ramp if it helps.

If anyone has the shooter not making it to the overpass issue with the red spring, my issue was solved when I noticed a washer that goes on the shooter rod right before the red spring was missing. Once replaced and aimed the shooter rod at the center of the ball, it flies up the ramp perfectly. Now the skills shots are really skills shot. Hopefully this helps out someone in the future.

If you change out to full LEDs and notice a slight flicker in your ramp flashers when you hit the flippers... a member named DumbAss makes a really nice replacement AUX Board that will fix it right. On his aux board he added LEDs to it to show you if a fuse is blown out or not. I do not know him personally but he has helped me a lot through electrical issues I was having so I thought I would throw his name out there if anyone elsr needs a new board or electrical help.
