    Anyone happen to know this? Can't find anything in my Pink Panther manual. Figure it's likely somewhere between the 3.5 - 3.8 for EMs and 6.5 for DMDs but would like to start with factory recommendations.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I set everything to 6.5 degrees.

    Not aware of any explicit factory instructions for that era. Assuming that on games like Black Hole, both playfields should have a similar incline, then it's somewhere around 5.5-6

    The instructions for Black Hole etc. are terrific - "Level the machine." Gee, thanks! Especially with two opposing playfields they should have specified something.

    Mine is cranked up a little bit but not to no 6 or 7 degrees like a DMD. Some sys80 games don't look that much different from the earlier EMs as far as the layout of the pf. Hard to look at those and say yeah now it needs the angle to be doubled.

    Anybody know what the predetermined angle is on sys 80s if you simply take off the leg levelers?
