In my experience changing these out really isn't necessary. Clearance isn't the problem, a bad angle of the ball hitting the guide on a left orbit shot makes it bounce when it shouldn't. The problem is clear from the slow-mo video:

Fix the diverter mounting hole below the playfield to move the diverter arm a smidge closer to the front of the playfield and your problem will be solved for $0.00.

I did that and the results are pretty inconsistent. On my machine there's enough slop in the diverted to where a ball can push it back a little but not enough for the spring to push it back to be flush with the ball guide. If I tighten the two screws holding the diverter arm in place to where there's no slop the diverter doesn't spring back all the way after the coils been engaged.

So I can get one good orbit shot but then the ball pushes the diverter arm back just a hair.

There's only one spring on the diverter assembly right? The stern manual makes it look like there are two springs.

Hey guys - just ordered my machine and don't know if I have the issue yet, but I very well may. I don't like the idea of no rubbers at the top lanes to the pops because the plastic lane guides will eventually get hammered. Was thinking about installing the coil sleeve rubber mod shown here. What do I need to make them and is there a specific measurement or just cut it to fit the lane guide? Thanks!

Remove the lane guides and rotate them around 180 because of smaller diameter ,measure the length the the post part of the lane guide and cut sleeve to correct length then do the same thing with the shrink and then side the shrink over the sleeves and then shrink the shrink ,you still may need to remove the divertor and Make the holes bigger so you can move it forward a few mm,look for more info and pictures a few pages back,enjoy the game

Thanks Rock - so when it's finished, the larger rubbers will be at the end closer to the bottom of the playfield - flipper area - correct? Also, which size coil sleeves do I need? Thanks again!

Yes! Exactly that! F@cking annoying!!

I did not come up with this throne fix but is works 100% of the time and you don't even notice the little hop,I use two post rubbers but the original pinsider used just one rubber post

Myself and a friend have finally come up with a fix for this, but wanted to start a new thread for it...

$95? Not interested.

T7 - your fix is the real deal; and well worth the $95. I really hope you go ahead and offer this solution.

And that's why I love you. Opening your package was like Christmas morning.

Hey guys - having a problem on my GOTLE with the Castle Black kick back. It does not seem to be working. It worked the last time I played it but now will not. If I go into tests, it works perfectly. In a game, however, when I launch a ball up there, it just rolls back - no kick back engagement at all. Any thoughts on what this might be. Might start a new thread, but I figured there would be more expertise on the GOT threads. Wondering if the shaker shook something loose....

You need to check the opto switch up there.

When the opto recognizes a ball is there it activates the kickback.

Go into switch test and roll a ball in there and see if the switch registers.

That is probably why the kickback works in test but not when a ball rolls up in there.

It's gotta be the opto that's up there, Ray. Check your connections on those switches - if the coil works in a test but doesn't fire when the ball gets there, it's the switch. And I think there's an opto up there...somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Bastard. You beat me by 8 seconds.

Thanks guys. It's either going or it was loose. I pulled all connections going up there (not knowing which one it was exactly because I couldn't see) and reconnected them. Only one felt slightly loose, but she works well now. We'll see if it happens again - if so, might need a new opto.

Thanks again for the super fast assist. My wife is hooked so a GOT casualty in this household is not good!

Just got a Game Of Thrones LE that already had the Left orbit fix. I totally understand that now the ball won't go into the pop bumpers as much, but the pop bumpers don't seem to activate unless hitting very hard into one. Sometimes the ball goes into the pop bumpers soft and they never hit the ball. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

Is anyone still offering a fix for the orbit? Mine gets stuck at the gate by the left rollover guide 9/10 times
