I'm now in the club (thanks to a great transaction with ajbalch). Unfortunately, the ceiling in my basement is too low to allow for the topper so I had to take it off for now.
Has anyone seen a low-profile replacement or even have an idea on what I could wire in? I have about 3 1/2 inches above the backbox and the topper (I believe) is closer to 5.
I was also thinking of just extending the existing wiring and either hanging it on the side of the backbox (in a way that doesn't damage the wood) or perhaps mounting it on the wall next to the pin. Thoughts?

Here is a pic I took last night that shows my extremely limited clearance.

That looks cool, but he said it blew up when he wired it to a High Speed.

I had not thought of that, good call. After thinking about it myself last night, I think I'm just going to extend the wires about a foot and mount the topper on a small shelf in between the two pin backboxes. I think that will still look pretty cool. I will post a pic after I get it done.
Thanks

Tech question: I did notice that after I get one ball locked for multiball, the second ball kicks into the shooter lane... then about one second later a second ball kicks into the shooter lane (the third ball). If you don't shoot the first ball immediately, you end up with two balls simultaneously in the lane.
Now, if you shoot them out it lets you play a normal 3 ball multiball without error... but I'm thinking this is not the way it is supposed to function.
Any thoughts on what I should start checking to see what is causing this?

I knew it revolved, but did not think about needing to enclose the motor, I will have to reconnect and see exactly what I will be dealing with.

No errors when I fire up the game, but I will definitely test the switch. Thanks.

I do get the tires squealing sound when I shoot a ball. It only seems to happen when you have one ball locked. I'll do a little testing and see if I can narrow this down. Thanks for the direction so far.

Edit: What you said just made me wonder if maybe the switch for the left ball lock is stuck on... if that is what triggers the launch of the third ball. Something else to check.

Actually I just looked at it again last night. The hole on the top of the backbox that it mounts to is about 4" in diameter (just guessing, didn't actually measure it), I was thinking I could just buy the right size hole saw and pop a hole in the little shelf, screw it to the bottom of that like it is mounted in the machine. The motor itself is enclosed and pretty small.

Update on my double kick out issue with multiball. Ran the switch test last night and no stuck switches. Ran the switch edge test and hand tested all the switches, they all registered properly.
I locked a ball in the kick out hole instead of a hideout and that started a 2 ball multiball properly. Only seems to be an issue if I lock a ball in the hideout to start multiball. Then it kicks out the first in to the shooter lane, waits about a second (which is enough time to launch the first ball if you are quick), then kicks a second ball in to the shooter lane.
Again I am assuming this is not the normal function since I am new to this machine.
Thoughts?

Ok, will do.

That's funny, mine is doing the same thing except on the right hideout (ball in left hideout seems to work correctly).
I will experiment some more this weekend and see what happens.

I'm at work now so I can't get you a pic, but maybe also check the diode across the coil on that flipper? First (and only time) I rebuilt a flipper, I unknowingly blew the diode and every time I activated that flipper it would immediately blow the fuse. Replaced it and all was well.
