Quoted from chuckwurt:I’m going to get new backbox plastics. I also need the plastic fasteners that attach these guides to the backbox. Anyone know what they are called and where to get them?
Something like those I assume?

I have been working on a project machine where i had to replace the translite and the backbox glass. I am not sure I am able to keep the translite as flush as it could against the glass when I put the trim on and it seems the translite catch the ball once in a while...
Am I missing a post inside the assembly to keep the translite flush against the glass to avoid getting the ball stuck? The repro ball seems the same size as teh beat up original so I don't think that's it... why is it so cramped in there?!? 
Quoted from Joka:do you have the standoffs that go from the ball guides the the translite installed ?
I tried to follow the manual and look at picture but i could not see any of those? The manual legend call for some 1/2" standoff but the drawing doesn't show where it goes...
Quoted from chuckwurt:The standoffs seem too short. They should be longer like the ones you have over by the guides by the flipper. They should be the same ones all the way around.
I used the size mentioned in the manual, 3/4" tall standoff
This is what mine looks like, the 3 plastics in the middlehave holes in the center, should i put 3x 1/2 standoff there?

Quoted from Joka:yes your missing the standoffs that go out to the translite
put the smaller standoffs through those holes in the middle plastics, ill send a pic if you need more help
that did it, 3x 1/2" standoff and there is no problem with hang up now.
I am wondering if my diverter on the right orbit is working right... When in the paint is lit the diverter is down until the opto at the entrance of the right orbit register and pops it up. I am not sure if my flipper are too strong and/or the diverter is too slow but 1 out of 4 shot brick on the diverter before it is up and goes into the pop... is that a common problem?
So I am having no luck with the ball coming down from the pop bumper.... moved around the ball guides many different way, even redid some screw holes but still nothing consistent. I have tried dead bounce foam strip in different spot but it either get the ball stuck or drop off...
I am surprise no one has made a better fix for it... what's the best recommendations?
Quoted from AFM95:j-freeze put a square, clear adhesive, rubber bumper (typically called a "cabinet door bumper") inside the guide after it leaves the pop bumper area.
I would say that the specific placement of this bumper pushes the ball to the other guide, which drops it to the right flipper about 98% of the time. It's not foolproof, but it's the best I've seen and experienced.

i had tried something similar with dead drop foam but it wasn't really working and came loose. let me try those, thanks!
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Anyone know where a new right ramp 03-9668.2 can be found?
were those ever repro? I only saw the left and center ones...
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Anyone know where to procure this basketball post? Upper left side of the picture, the post that the diverter uses...(Or just the basketball part and I can find the top post and mounting hardware separately). I have seen it for sale somewhere but I forget where. Thanks!
