never played one, looks like a real tough shot going by the pic

You may want to check the coil number compare to someone else's and or schematic to make sure the right strength coil is in.
EOS should be closed and very low resistance in normal unfired state opening 1/8" right at the end of stroke if it opens to early you will lose power
Last resort would be to substitute a different more powerful coil.

I have no experience with this title. Never played.

Not sure why it has a bad reputation but those are usually the cheaper titles that are still fun to play.

Welcome to pinball

Look at this more than anything.

edited because I didn't read the post above me. ^What he said

I too have a hard time making the ramp, but it's possible.
I've found that the best chance to make it is when the ball is coming down the PF at speed & timing the shot correctly. I've done from cradling the ball, but it's super tough.

I had the same problem. Adjusting the EOS switches will give you a longer power stroke and solve the problem. Just don't make it too easy, the game isn't fun if the ramp shot is too easy.

I liked it best when I had it adjusted just so that it couldn't be made from a cradle and the ball had to at least be rolling down the inlane to have enough momentum to make it.

Did you try cleaning your flipper button switches? Make sure when you press flipper button the metal tab on the switch is pushing on the contacts really good. Make sure flipper mechs are assembled and adjusted correctly. You could always unwind-remove some of the windings from the high power side of the coil (ive heard to start with 50 undwinds)

making the ramp should be a hard shot from cradle. i put a powerball in my raven, plays hot.

Your translite still has a lot of color. Hard to find one like that.

John Trudeau had it hanging in his office at Gottlieb/Premier.

These System 80b games should be on about a 4-5 degree angle. 6-7 is too steep.

Play with the EOS gap a bit before messing with the voltage adjustment.

seriously, look at this first. My friend thats much smarter than myself at pin repair always says, 95% of the time the problem is mechanical, not electrical.
