#1040 is now in the house! It was in the garage up until this past weekend on account of my foot surgery (my kids insisted that I gross you out with a picture of my toe "because it kinda ties in with the monster theme!" ).
Thanks to Joe at Pinballstar for working with CGC to delay the shipment of the machine until I was cleared to put some weight on my foot. Although thru no fault on Joe’s part, it was delivered a week early by CGC so it was put in the garage by the delivery guy and left there until this past weekend.
Having set it up and a few games played, it is a big hit with the family!
I have 2 issues with it:
1. The 2 screws for the plate holding the plug into the back of the machine were missing from the package. This is no big deal…I just need to know the size of the screws and the threads per inch. I’ll just get them from the hardware store myself. I’m afraid that the plug will eventually come out as it doesn’t seem to plug in tight.
2. The 2nd issue is a little perplexing. After having played about 10 games Frankie now consistently falls flat onto his face on the PF when the table is returned to the original position. It looks like the tab behind Frankie is slipping out of the slot in the table. I could’ve sworn that there was someone else who was having this problem but after poring through 60 pages so far I haven’t found the post yet. Rather than poring through another 60 pages, if anyone knows how to adjust this please let me know. With my limited foot movement I haven't been able to take a closer look at how to fix the issue.
My kids are hankering to play the machine again. Thanks so much!
