Quoted from jibmums:If you decide to keep the look of original cards, shoot me a PM, I recreated the artwork in a PDF file and it's an exact match.
On older games I like original style cards. I find the ones I like at Inkochnito's site http://www.pinballrebel.com/pinball/cards/ He has the For Amusement Only pricing cards too. I modify them as needed and then take them to a copy center and have them printed on buff card stock and laminated before trimming.
They look decent
Quoted from PantherCityPins:So basically the ball is not coming out of the shooter lane cleanly every time. Sometimes it will shoot up into the vortex area fine and sometimes it seems like it is coming out slightly off and hits one of the side rubbers near the vortex. It's also not really getting enough power on the ball to get it up to the top of the vortex. I already put a red spring on the shooter which is the strongest one I have but still the same issue. The shooter rod is centered on the ball but does seem to ride a little high, I'm not sure if it should be hitting the exact center of the ball or not. I have it adjusted down as far as it will go. Next step is probably to shim it with washers but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do.
My Space Station had shooter problems which I tried everything to fix. I think the plunger was not hitting perfect. I ended up shimming on the outside of the cabinet under the housing. I used cereal box cardboard doubled or tripled over for my shim. If you are hitting the ball high you might be adding back spin....
