I have no specific experience with Getaway, but in any game I've worked on the bracket fits into the notched area. Someone could have put in the wrong bracket at some time. Also, and it may be the angle of the photo, but it looks like the pluger is pointing slightly to the right instead of straight up the lane.

I can take a picture of mine when I get near it (This friday)

Other things to consider is dirt in the shooter lane, on the playfield (especially in the loop) and other things that might slow down the ball. - Maybe the coil needs to be replaced as well?

Pictures coming on friday.

It looks ok to me. Make sure you have the right strength coil...

Here are some pics of mine:

Well, you got the Diamond Plated ones. The earliest were without Diamond Plating afaik.

Loosen up the mounting screws, push the plunger forward with your hand and adjust the alignment until it is centered down the lane.

Check your manual.

Replace the armature if you need to, and the coil sleeve (that sleeve is a goofy size, I doubt you'll have a spare lying around). Somebody had used the wrong bell armature, and sleeve in my Getaway. I replaced them with the proper parts, and it fixed my launch issues. Operators tend to fix machines just enough to take quarters.

Double check the alignment when you're done. You want that armature to hit the ball nice and squarely on launch.

Every single DMD game from the WPC/WPC-95 era had diamondplate coating whether the logo was printed on the playfield or not.

I had the same problem on my game. I adjusted the metal rail at the top of the shooter lane to a lower position and now it makes the top loop 95% of the time. Just loosen the screws that hold the metal rail, adjust the rail to a better trajectory, then tighten.

Early production HS2 did not have diamond plate. Read up on it on IPDB.

Correct, or some sort of clearcoat if it wasn't necessarily the "Diamondplate" brand version.

My heavily routed "non-diamondplate" Getaway playfield has a lot of plays but no wear to the wood. It does however have a lot of broken inserts because of use.

It is wrong. They may not have had the logo printed on there but they all were clear coated. I had one of the protos and and early production model, both had cleared playfields.

Clearcoat =/= Diamond Plate. Diamond plate is a special patented form of clearcoat I believe, but just because it's clearcoated, doesn't mean its Diamond Plate.

I worked there, it was the same shit on every playfield once they committed to doing it (same time they put DMD's in the games). They just weren't consistent with putting that little logo on the playfields.

Alright, can't argue against experience, that beats everything I can read online
