Operation: Thunder
Gottlieb, 1992Hello.
Few years ago, I purchase a Pinball Machine - Operation Thunder and until today I'm not sure about the height of the front and back feet.
Can you help me about the legs height?
Front: Distance from floor to flip button.
Back: Distance from floor to bottom screw of the leg?
Will help me a lot.
Thanks.
The leg levelers are used to adjust the angle of the game's playfield. You won't get an exact measurement for those.
Use a leveler app on your phone,put your phone on the playfield, and use the leg levelers to adjust for the correct playfield angle (usually 6 degrees).
I usually start by putting 2" leg levelers on the front legs, and screwing them almost all the way in, and 3" leg levelers in the back, and screwing them in maybe 1/2" or so.
Quoted from tullster:I had an Operation Thunder and it needs the 27" legs to put it at the correct height.
Thanks a lot.
I checked here the legs are 31" - I always suspected that the game is too high for the arms and hand to touch the flip buttons.
I'll try to buy 27" legs or cut these here.

The correct angle adjustment of the playfield to 6 degrees I did exactly as you mentioned (screwing levelers), it always worked very well.
