    Hi. I’m currently at a campground in Indiana that has a Fish Tales in their lodge. I went to play a game and noticed that their plunger coil has “rotated” upwards and is missing contact with the ball. As a maintenance guy took off the glass he said that last week the plunger was pointing straight downward. I’m not familiar with this particular setup but I’d like to help fix this for them. What should this look like? I have no idea what the correct setup is or what they’ve fiddled with in the past or what may be incorrect. A nice detailed close up photo would be great. In the picture, their order goes, coil, metal plate, washer, L-bracket. The L-bracket is tight with the screws all the way forward but there’s still so much play. Does the front edge of the coil just get wedged up against the playfield?
    Thanks.

    Missing the coil sleeve ?

    Manual has the parts layout.

    Sleeve is there. No manual here and I’m not really familiar with this setup. I also didn’t notice any fallen parts down in the cabinet. I feel they took it apart last week and didn’t put it back together correctly.

    Kinda looks like the front end sheered off and the back end had added washers/spacers. Anyway, is the the replacement?

    Thanks a ton. The link to the manual is exactly what I needed and that front part of the bracket is definitely gone.

    Thanks again.
