Quoted from creepykenny:

I took a small metal file and filed the dent/ridge flat.

I have the same dent/ridge and inconsistency in my auto launch.

Would this file work or is there another you reccomend?

Quoted from Billy16:

That's pretty big, I think I took my burr off with a fine jewelers file

Thanks. So something more like these?

This is what my edge looks like.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

You can use a fingernail file if you want. Any rough surface will work for such a small file job.

Quoted from creepykenny:

I have a small set of tiny metal working files, can't remember where I purchased them but was prolly one of the big boxes
that file in your link is too large, I think there are 4-5 in the set and its in a red vinyl pouch

Thank you both! That helps a lot.

There is definitely a lip there that is affecting the trajectory of the ball, so I will start by filing it down and then will try removing the adjustment screw if needed.

Wanted to post back about my results.

Did not feel like waiting on a file to arrive so I used one of the small grinding stones on my knockoff Dremel (see photo below) to take the dent/lip off the edge of the guide. I went really slow and with a light touch and kept checking it with my fingernail in between passes. It took maybe 30 seconds of total grinding to make sure it was nice and smooth.

I then fired up the game and kept letting the ball drain and on the first try, without doing anything else...IT WENT 20 FOR FREAKING 20 ON AUTO LAUNCHES!!! I could not believe it. I then started trooper multi ball and it immediately loaded all three balls perfectly, which has happened maybe 5 times total since I have owned the machine.

For the record, I had previously tried all the other fixes including the more powerful coil and shimming the guide and the best it had ever done was maybe 65% with all misses being low.

Thanks so much to creepykenny for the fix and to Tranquilize for the suggestion to use something else to file it down.
