Just ordered one of the last remaining SEs from Automated Services. She related there was only 4 left in their stock. Just an fyi

Quoted from Soulrider911:In my opinion the single most important to to look in the map hole and see if you have a t nut sticking out... of so and it’s sticking out a lot the balls will hit it and Pit them... in turn can damage the playfield
A good test is to push a ball in there and see... but it’s kinda hard with the pearl on
I think they all have that Tnut sticking out...I would think it would hit the metal cover and never actually touch the T nut unless its entering the hole slow...im probably wrong though lol
Quoted from Soulrider911:trooper11040 That’s not something I was willing to gamble on in a 10k game.
My used le had pits in the balls like I have never seen... and yes the ball was hitting it a a lot, as the edge of t nut was worn from the ball colliding with it
I guess as long as your are very diligent about new balls should be ok, but the balls definitely are not going to last as long. Just my 2 cents
Did you end up grinding it down? I am a bit nervous to touch it...
Quoted from Soulrider911:I did yes look back a page I think I showed there, it’s really not that bad if you have a dremmel and grinding bits. Just takes patience also the inner Cliffy will not fit with that tnut sticking out... so if you plan on installing both the Sudafed mounted Cliffy and the inner you will most likely need to grind it.
Could also remove the tnut and grind it while not on the playfield
I tried to remove the ship and had a tough time lol...might have to try again tomorrow...
Quoted from statsdoc:Did you back it out from underneath or grind it in place?
carefully grinded in place. I didn’t like it lol. Felt very vulnerable holding the dremel. When I got real close to the wood, I used a rasp to grind the rest flush
Quoted from Zora:Why does the ball not touch it, is it at the bottom of the playfield? It looks like it is standing significantly into the ball movement.
The back rail keeps it from touching the actual t nut. Kinda odd but the shape of the ball works to the advantage of the rail lol
Funny thing is putting the adjustment screw back onto the ramp, I dropped it in the map hole. I had to remove the subway any way...would have been easier to just pop the tnut and grind it externally
Quoted from Zora:Thank you for your feedback. Good to know that no fix is needed. I already feared that I had to remove the BP. Keep that removal for the future.
Then hardest part of taking off the black pearl in my opinion is the VUK, and putting the wiring back in after you have it off lol. It was honestly a pretty easy process
Quoted from wesman:But removing the VUK makes things much much easier. Definitely go that route, rather than mess with adjusting the Pearl Ramp, like shown in the video.
I may go this route next time when my cliffys show up...

Quoted from javagrind888:Jesus! I thought they said it was going to be easy to remove!
It’s hard the first time. Once you do it, it becomes quite simple. I can get the ship removed in under 4 mins
