Smaller screw on the bottom is factory. At least an 1/8" difference probably more.
Thanks

Also now looking for the following two plastic posts? Pic below of both short and tall. Not sure who may carry them? Marcos,PBR, pinball life?
Thanks

I should have a back glass coming soon as well that will need some work. Here are some pics. Not sure how to approach this one?
Thanks

Since the peeling it outside of the mirroring, you can either peel it off and paint it black or you could squeeze super glue under it and stick it down. I think I would try super glue first.

Ok I will give that a shot. Then using triple thick will prevent future peeling?
Any suggestions on pushing down the playfield? And where I might be able to purchase the plastics?
Game is playing fast and everything is continuing to work well, just bumpy.

Thanks

You can, but shouldn't need to with the super glue, plus it makes touch ups more difficult if you need them in the future. Might try reading Vid's playfield restoration guide. He made a post somewhere about the tools to use to tap raised wood back down. Plastics are unavailable, but CPR will hopefully make another run sometime.

Right on, thanks a bunch. I'm wondering if I should get some temporary plastic posts that are similar? I've heard that steve youngs PR had them?

PBR would be a good place to look. You can also get them here:
