Dear Lloyd
Do you know what the manufacturer's recommended playfield incline was for 1980 games (specifically Stern Flight 2000)?
Also, what's a good way to measure playfield incline on these old games with no built-in bubble level?
Thanks,
Commander Cody
Hello Commander Cody
No idea on incline on your game. New ones are usually 6 1/2 degrees. Older ones are close to flat. You'll have to play with it and see what you like. I'd probably start at 3 degrees and then go up or down as needed.
These articles will help you : ( I don't trust the bubble levels on games. Cheap and often wrong )
