Guys, how tightened down should the chimes be? Mine are loosely screwed down and I think that's how they should be... Not tight.
Thoughts?
The chimes are one of the best modern-era pinball gimmicks of all time. Just fantastic. I couldn't believe my ears when playing it at pinburgh, and the guy I was playing with said "nah it's that EM over there." But I could FEEL the chimes! Love it.
I believe Tommy was supposed to ship with them, but they cheaped out at the last minute.
Quoted from Wariodolby:It shouldn't be lose ,my is pretty snug to the inside of the cabinet.

My chime box is tight. It's the actual bars that aren't screwed down tight. Just wondering if I should tighten them, or if that's normal.

Somewhat loose is correct. The chime bars have to vibrate to sound right. See the pic that Wariodolby posted above, you can see that the screws are up a bit.
Congrats! Fun game.
