Just wondering the correct play-field angle I should have my Gottleib system 1 Buck Rogers set to? I know a lot of people say to put it at whatever I want, but I would like to know what is recommended, what would they use at say a Pinball competition.

Thank You

Gottlieb EM pins were suppose to leveled by levelling the bottom of the cabinet. Measured on the sides and front, at the bottom.
It could be possible that Gottlieb kept that the same, with the SS pins.

I've been told 5, 6.5, and 7.5 degrees. Surprised there's not a mandated degrees angle. I just feel like at 5 degrees my ball rolls around very slow.
