Giving my Ghostbusters a clean yesterday and as I took the glass off I noticed a little screw sitting on the playfield just under the hologram window. Anybody got any ideas where it has ‘appeared’ from?

So as I was looking that I then noticed the little metal rail to the left is leaning to the left as a result of the pinballs hitting it. Anyone else experiencing this and are there any fixes or preventative ideas out there?

Some photos.

Check the rollovers on the left ramp. About 20 games in on my NIB Pro the screws holding those switches in came loose and fell out on the playfield

Looks like they come from the side of the ecto goggles.

Disco! Thanks Trekkie1978, you were bang on. Screw from left handside of ecto googles.

Anyone done anything regarding that little rail bending?
