Hi All, I'm gradually trying to get my Embryon back to being more or less factory-correct and am seeing references that at least the 3 messenger balls in the center of the playfield should be larger than standard pinballs... As you may remember, there are a total of 5 messenger balls on the playfield (apart from the 2 balls actually played) and I can't find any documentation as to the correct size. Any thoughts would certainly be appreciated! Thank you, uraprat

I e always thought they are standard size. I used standard when I had one and worked fine.

Thank you DNO, I may give it a shot with the standard size! I was hoping to find a definitive answer in the manual or noted somewhere on the machine, but no luck so far! I will keep poking around for a bit. Thanks again!

They are standard size.

Where are these references out of interest? Always thought they were standard.

Standard size. The roll cage tilt is a smaller size.

Thank you epotech, dluth, and BigAl56, I really appreciate your help! I figured that if a larger ball size was really specified it would be noted in the manual... but then again the manual isn't as comprehensive as I'd hoped for (yet understandably so as it was designed for skilled operators who didn't need / want as much hand-holding as I'd prefer)! I believe I originally saw the references to "larger ball diameter" on http://www.pinrepair.com or www.maaca.org, but again nothing specific (saying use this "x" diameter)... the wide spacing of the guide wires (at the center field captive ball (part M-121-113) got me over-thinking this). Thanks for your time!
