Reason #117 - My mother's name is Inge and my wife's father is Otto. No Joke. Woke up Sunday AM thinking I needed to own a pinball machine. Found a Fish Tales for sale close by, but man - How could we not get into OF? I haven't play any pin in years and even then I was just a light weight casual player, but I love this game and the theme is just awesome for our family. Turns out a dealer was 20 mins down the road. Got one last night (pinside OF #76). After 3 hours of playing, I had to find a bratwurst mit senf! I'm serious.

Other than a USB stick that could not be read (2nd stick worked), I am occasionally getting the ball stuck @ Otto's bar on top of the duck target. Any suggestions? See pic

Also - thank you LTG.

Yes, I can bump it off, but it can be annoying to do it. Like LTG said, the yellow duck target face is just a little off center creating a lip. Its solid and I can't manually tweak it. I might, however, be able to dremmel a 1/16" off of the right side of the yellow - hopefully it wouldn't be noticeable.

Oktoberfest seasonal ownership surge?

Like 2 days ago, I became the 76th pinside registered owner. Now, the count is up to 89. That's a spike of almost 20% in the past week. Oktoberfest was to start in next week maybe that's the reason?
