Quoted from DakotaMike:Why do the leg bolts have washers on them? None of my other pins have had washers on the leg bolts. Are they necessary?
To prevent the bolts from chipping off the paint on the legs. I've seen that damage first-hand and would prefer to avoid it if possible. As mentioned above, there are nylon washers available. I use those.
Quoted from DakotaMike:1) This pin is A LOT lighter than my other games. I actually consider this a good thing because it's much easier to transport and move around within my house.
Yep, be careful about setting it down too quickly from a hand truck...I set one down too quickly and the momentum almost tipped it over before I caught it.
Quoted from DakotaMike:Is there a special tool?
A deep socket set. Those will fit over the post and reach the nut at the base.
Pliers are not the right way to handle those posts. You will just end up scratching and chewing them up. Not to mention, a slip could damage the playfield.
Quoted from DakotaMike:The pf mounting system seems cheaper and more clunky than my WPC games. Once I've fully raised the PF vertically, it's a bit of a pain to get it to slide all the way back after I've lowered it back down.
Yup, common complaint.
