    Should the flippers be aligned with the ball guides or with the artwork? The guides are not quite parallel to the artwork in this case. I'm assuming the guides. Splitting hairs I know, but these are the things that keep me up at night not really

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Remember also that the existing indentations in the shaft will often **find** the setscrew tip and return the flipper to the wrong position.
    Sometimes the only fix is a new shaft.

    Yup I have two brand new shafts, that's why I'm asking The old ones were pretty chewed up.

    That's actually what I ended up doing last night. My set screws have cupped ends, not pointed, to they definitely wanted to "walk" as I tightened them down.
