    so i've noticed i have some dark colored metal shaveings in the cabinet below the flipper coils. is this normal after lets say....1500 games? i didnt notice any under the top flipper, only the bottom two. at a quick glance i didnt see any metal on metal contact, but i'll look them over a little better when i get a chance. just wondering if i have some bad alignment or parts are too worn. is this normal after so many games? there isnt a ton but a good dusting.

    Normal, your pawls are wearing along with the bolt and washers. And plunger wear too.

    The dust from this can conduct electricity too and cause weird issues on any board or switches in the area.
