Moreno Valley, CA
Quoted from Quadrider:Using slo-mo on my phone, I found the ball was hitting hard into the right side guide rail before the riveted flange. In a last ditch effort, I loosened up the 2 screws holding the right side guide rail, pulled them in as far as they could go (towards the PF and vortex) and tightened them down, although it only came in 1/4” or so, it 100% solved the problem!!!! The ball now rockets up the vortex!!!

On mine I loosened the one screw at the right rail near where it meets the vortex entrance and pulled it down as far as it would go and retightened, so at the transition the ball doesn't nick the edge of the vortex entrance (ball just *barely* flies over it) and that fixed the ball rattling and stopping sometimes as soon as it entered the vortex. I just noticed from your picture that the spring blade mounted on the right rail is broken off from mine! But with the adjustment I made it doesn't seem to be a big deal, ball goes thru there smooth now. I suppose that spring just makes it so adjustment wouldn't need to be this picky given differences in position of these things from game to game.
Marco sells a sheet of spring steel so I might try making a replacement but again that adjustment on mine smoothed that area out.
