There is a video of Keith Elwin tearing up NF with a killer score I believe during a 2010 pin brawl tournament in Chicago. Check it out.

Dang, that must have been one long freakin' game endurance test. Nice job. Did you loop the super jackpot shot on the jump ramp a bunch of times in succesion while in Multi-ball?
Quoted from KevInBuffalo:Question time:
On my NF, about half the time the ball successfully goes into the skydive (behind the drop target) on the plunge and the other half it just rattles out or misses completely.
What's the best way to adjust it to more consistently hit the skydive on the plunge as it's supposed to?
Look at the last post by me in this thread. This is how I ended up solving the problem.

Quoted from EricR:That's a good tip. I am getting the same results as K3V and I noticed the very end of that metal guide is indented slightly. Hopefully re-straightening it a little will fix it.
I actually reshaped the entire guide, by flattening the curve in the middle of it. It allows the ball to come out of the shooter lane at a slightly higher arc and hitting the Skydive hole further up along the left metal guide rail, if that is clear.
Quoted from btw75:Just found this thread. NF is my favorite game - the only grail I had when I started collecting last year. In college I worked at a bowling alley that had one in '95 and we would play it after closing on a regular basis for hours.
I managed to find an HOU one (first owned by Emmitt Smith, I'm the 3rd owner) which was super nice. It's still original as I just can't bring myself to install even LEDs. I did disable Sammy, because he was so loud and I couldn't figure out how to quiet down the mechanism. Someday soon I'll bring it into the shop and give it another try as well as change out all the rubber as I'm sure all those post sleeves are getting a little hard.
Play Better!
Has anyone done anything specific to getting the talking skull mechanism to be quieter? The loud noise seems to be endemic to this mechanism. I have taken mine apart, cleaned it, and even put some teflon oil on all the hinge parts, which helped a little but not by alot.

They all get beat up bad at that curve. I got a new ramp and immediately installed the cliffy protector in it. No problems with it.

Great! I'm glad it is helping. My launcher still gets the ball in the skydive hole everytime after this easy fix. Sure makes the game play better.

Many of the original NF main ramps were melted from the magnets. Later code revisions addressed the problems and corrected the original burn issues. I replaced my main ramp that had been melted at some point before I bought the game. I replaced the magnets also and have not had any problems.
