First, thanks for all the help guiding me to purchasing my first machine.

I got a chance to play it for an hour or so and noticed a few things that need to be addressed before the kids see it on xmas.

First, the ball hits the glass in a few situations.
When the ball gets fired back and hits the left flipper and when the ball hits the center targets.

Second, the LED in the target in the middle is way, way to bright when it flashes.

Third, the inserts in the middle near the flippers mess up the ball path pretty bad.

I did some reading and I'm not that concerned about the ball hitting the glass.

I think I'll heat the inserts and push them back in.

Not sure what to replace the center LED with.

Hope I'm on the right path.
Need to get a bar stool to get some real time in...

Did some fiddling.
Adjusted the bumper actavation switch to ne more sensitive when the ball hits the skirt.
Adjusted all targets to be way more sensitive.
I'm having an issue with the heavy spinner with the decals in it.
It wants to lay horizontal rather than vertical.
Gotta do some searching.
