Hurricane
Williams, 1991Years and years ago when I had a login to pinball ninja website, clay had use a different belt to stop it from slipping. It worked pefect. For the life of my I cannot remember what belt he used. Or for that matter any other fix that would allow this to be durable......
Quoted from TreyBo69:A regular 6" pinball rubber
interesting. is that true?

Don’t tell Clay. From repair no 639
> Originally this was a urethane belt. On this game, that was replaced with a regular 6″ pinball rubber. The rubber has hardened, and that’s what was causing the slippage. Though an original urethane belt can be re-installed, I choose to again use a new 6″ pinball rubber (they stretch, unlike the urethane belt, and is easier to install.)
He has a few repairs on the caster lock on Fish Tales where he replaces the urethane with a 3.5" pinball rubber.
