Digging up this old thread. My glove was having difficulty making it across the back of the playfield... would start out fine, then come to a grinding halt.

Using some of the good advice, here, I pulled the back mechanism and threw it on the work bench. Ended up opening the X axis motor. It was full of old nasty guck (just like post 7). Cleaned it all up with rubbing alcohol (using q-tips and paper towels). Then added some machine oil. Got'er all back together and re-installed. Glove works 100% smooth and flawless.

Getting the entire back mech out is easy. Just requires some connectors , removing nuts (under playfield) and removing a few nuts/screws on right and left side plastics (along with 2 nuts on the right upper ramp).

Thanks, Pinsiders, for all the great info!
