How is the back left plastic leveled? I'm speaking of the one with three lanes for the ball to go through. On my machine, the ball will go about 80% right, 15% middle, and 5% left. It seems like it should be secured on the left side, but the Back Alley mod posts above indicate that it isn't.

Also, the sound is sometimes scratchy/muffled. I was told I need to replace a capacitor for that?

I have a Craftsman digital level.

The specific diagnosis from a local tech was “the sound circuit needs to be rebuilt” and that it’s common on Whitestar games.

I assumed the yellow wire was bent or something similarly innocuous since it happens infrequently.

Quoted from Markharris2000:

Never heard of a sound circuit needing to be "rebuilt". But wiring or the connectors can need to be fixed. It would be really rare for the PCB section to need any work for the sound. Again, chip based amplifiers are usually very binary: They either work or they don't.
Can you describe exactly what you are hearing? From which speaker or speakers? Does it sound all the time, or only when voice or music is playing? Are all three of the speakers producing some kind of sound? How high is your volume set?

I'm not sure if any speaker in particular is doing this. It's mostly during the narrator saying clearly "It's time to visit (then muffled/scratchy) North America". Sometimes the shrunken head's dialog will be similarly scratchy. The previous owner kept the volume low, as do I, since lower volume seems to help it be less noticeable. I used to have a TSPP that also had this infrequent issue. I just assumed the flat yellow wires had been pinched from removing and replacing the speaker panel.
