Great job, i'm really enjoying this restoration. I just installed the plastic protectors from pinbits last weekend and i found that i was unable to backhand into the mode start when i had the protector under the left slingshot plastic. Once i took the protector off i made it everytime.

Quoted from Ricochet:

Thanks!
That's interesting... I'm trying to wrap my brain around the reason the slingshot protector would cause this?

It was just this tiny bit of overhang that would send my ball into the drops every time. I’m going to trim it to fit this weekend. You may not have the same issue I just wanted to point it out when I saw the protectors on. Keep up the good work. I had a lost plastic in the box for over a year now and once I started following your restore I got the motivation to install all my mods and upgrades.

Quoted from Ricochet:

You know what... it may be that the hole on the protector is a little too big... so it’s sitting down lower on the star post than it should... interfering with the ball

That could be the issue, ill check mine out when i get home and ill try a lexan washer under it and see if i get different results.
