Hello Everyone.

Can someone suggest a replacement/mod/fix for the plunger? I am almost never able to make the full loop on PM. I can make the hat shot but 95% of the time the ball just drops off the loop onto the pf.

The other question is when hitting the center loop(?), coming around the right orbit often just dumps the ball right down the middle.

Both of these are frustrating when just trying to enjoy a game of PM.

Thoughts or suggestions, please fire away!

Hi All,

Thank you for the suggestions. The issue for the ball launch was indeed the plunger tip alignment to the pinball. It was quite off actually and I had to loosen up the assembly and shim up the bottom of the mount (outward, facing the player) so the plunger would hit the ball center (top to bottom) and shift the whole thing to the left so that it was centered left to right. If I pull back the plunger and snap it just a little it makes the loop every time! I'm glad to see this fixed as it was wearing very thin with us.

Now the next thing is the ridiculous center ball drain when making the center loop shot and it comes down the right loop straight into the $hitt3r.

TheLaw, I think that you are bang on with this one. There were two things really, one was a small burr on the lane side of the ball guide, this I have filed down and the other is that post rubber. It's a blue one that Aurium added, when we shopped the pin. I'm not sure if I have a thinner post rubber but so far just taking off the burr has reduced the majority of drains now. I will search for a thinner rubber.

I also notice that the plunger is not sitting correctly, I have been adjusting it but I think that for this pin to play properly, the plunger should be perfectly centered with the ball, otherwise the ball doesn't make the habit trail properly. What have other owners here done to adjust this properly without having to shim the shooter housing (plate) from the front side of the cabinet?

Thanks!
