We have a Pro Football that was working approximately 90% when we got it. Since it was fairly playable it kind of sat in the corner constantly being bumped by newer games that needed tons of work. Well we got to it yesterday and fixed the little stepper unit that cycles the football lights on the playfield and scores touchdowns. The issue I think we have is on the spinner. Ours doesn't spin. It rocks and by shooting it will usually get you 30 to 40 yards just by the rocking motion. After testing it with my finger it does not have enough play in it to do a full revolution. I looked underneath and it doesn't look modified but maybe it was. I don't have a picture but our switch is mounted to the board with two plastic spacers between it and the wood. The spacers seemed to be about 1/4" high. Are they supposed to be there? The metal on the switch and the little rod that goes to the spinner do not seem bent or disturbed from original condition at all.

Thanks. I was in hurry to leave yesterday and forgot to snap a picture of ours for comparison. I think I described fairly well though

Here is a picture of mine that won't spinimage.jpgimage-995.jpg

I'll check that out tomorrow. Good observation.

It really isn't touching the playfield but sure looks like it from that angle. It might rub as the spinner goes back though. I'll put that on the list as well for tomorrow. I think it won't spin in either direction though so not sure that is it but we will sure find out.

I'll double check on the switch clearing as well plus removing it to see if it still has issues spinning. Thanks for all the good ideas.

Yes. When the playfield is up like that it definitely rubs against the wood so it would stand to reason that is what is happening while it tries to spin. Arcade is my brother (it's our machine) and if he can get to it today that would be nice but I can't do it till tomorrow.

Ok the spinner is working great. It was the position of the spinner in the switch underneath. It was maiking it rub the playfield as it tried to spin. Thanks for the input!!
