Quoted from Hawk007:

Maybe the key is to change the entire motor unit to something like a linear actuator. Eliminating the side to side force. Hmmm

I think the linear actuator idea could work great however it would have to be somewhat fast! That playfield moves a little swift and the faster the ratio the less lifting force an actuator has. I used an actuator on my earth shaker to recreate the "sinking institute" and it works well but I am going to change it out for a faster one. If someone could make a successful bolt in mod for a reasonable price it might be a decent seller

Quoted from darkpinball:

Centrering the force would be a big improvement, a new piece for the positions to the optosensor also has to be made

Yea I thought about the challenge of using the opto with an actuator...you would have to relocate it & have some type of vertical arm that could trigger it with the MPF movement.
