Check to see if the captive ball is sitting too low. The centerline of the ball in play has to be below the centerline of the captive ball or else every hit to it wants to bounce the ball in play up when it rebounds.

Me: Hey look he's got a metallica pinball!
My wife: (Eye roll)....

So yes I saw it.

Isn't MET a SAM game, so I don't think it has node boards?

Yeah they were 3D prints, if I remember right he posted the model so if you have access to a printer you can just do it. And if you don't there are places online that will do it for you. Just something to think about.

Yes but even with adult mode off you can still get "hell yeah" which some may find not be suitable for the kids.

Here is a question for everyone. When you have balls coming back around the orbit after being stopped by the up post, does the ball hit your sling? Same thing on the right side with an exit from the pops?

I know that is how you can adjust it, I am wondering if that was the design intent, or just the variability in manufacture of my machine.

I am asking a separate question than the one about the ball guide digging into the play field. I agree that should not be the norm.

No dimples!
