folks,

anyone else having playfield alignment issues?

I bought GZ and Deadpool Premium and they no longer have the two little metal parts that align the playfield - unless I manually centre the playfield the plunger and auto launch hit each other, and the playfield will never rest in the same place unless you manually align it. ABE_FLIPS has had to create a Godzilla plunge rail to sort out Godzilla.

I ordered some to reinstall them but has anyone figured out how to measure and get this right?

Cheers,
Neil.

As a temporary fix, I took some corrugated plastic(cardboard style) about 1/2" wide by 2" length. 2 pieces Taped together and removing the very first screw on the left hand side rail, then screwing it into the plastic. Carefully bending the plastic and lowering the playfield. Made it 80% better.

Pictured is Dracula, as I did not get a picture of the Godzilla Premium.

Lower playfield slowly.

Hello guys,

Can someone post a picture of the 2 little metal parts on older machines?
Because I don't know which ones are being mentioned in this topic.
