The repro's work, but take a lot more time to adjust.
had to use a heat gun to bend them forward or back a little.
Think they cooled differently from the mold or something, because the heights are all different.
I had to use small pieces of plastic on the bottom of the mech to get them to line up. (the same thickness as the playfield protector stuff)
Then readjust the reset bar so maybe it slightly higher on one side. I bought them from 3 different sources and they are all about the same.

to get them to drop easier, I used a higher tensioned spring and filed down the nib a little.
I do this last part on stubborn original drops as well.
After messing with repros, I keep the originals now.

Actually have all repro's on my meteor, that game was a pain.
