Quick question. Does the pop number get more powerful as to the speed at which it launches the ball as the difficulty of the game increases. Saw the f-14 at the ohio show and that pop bumper was moving a whole lot faster than mine. Thought it was due to the fact that I have mine set on easiest skill level

Anyone confirm??

Thanks

George

Quoted from Snux:

On earlier System 11 machines like Tomcat, the machine has no direct control over the firing of the bumper when it's being played. When the ball touches the "skirt" on the bumper, it closes the little "spoon" switch underneath and that causes the bumper to be fired directly via a direct switch on the MPU. If yours is not as quick as you'd like, I'd suggest adjusting the switch underneath the bumper that is activated by the skirt to make the gap a little smaller, which means it will activate sooner and be more sensitive. Don't over do it though.

Hi

Switch seems to be working just fine, just a lot less intensity of the pop bumper than the one I saw last eve.

Not sure this is a switch issue
