I've starting working on a 911.
Can the playfield be raised and tilted to rest on the back box ? I've used the prop rod , pulled it forward to rest on the brackets on the front of the cabinet, but never tried tilting it all the to the backbox. Can it be done

Everytime I turn around I find something else.
Mangled ball lift to the helicopter.
This isn't right is it?
Don't know how or why it's like this, but
It did work though.
Does someone have a picture of what it should look like ?

Thanks for the pictures. Just wanted to confirm how it's suppose to be.
Time to get the hammer , anvil, and brake and form it back to original.
Thank you again.

Can someone please tell me if the machine is supposed to make a sound when the ball goes down the left out lane. I get the points but no sound. Just wondering.

Game play question:
Sometimes when I land a ball for helicopter pick up, I get served another ball and the helicopter won't leave til I launch the ball. Ball drop seems to be inactive with these 2 balls in play..

Other times I load a ball, the helicopter leaves right away and ball drop by flipper works

I watched some gameplay video and witnessed these 2 variations. What controls each one of these behaviors?

Ok,
Read the manual
Yes it is a mode base feature. All is good.

How reliable are the smart switches ?
Do they fail or go flakey .
Sometimes I get a ball stuck via the stop post under the right ramp and ends up in a ball search.
Do they have solder joints that crack?
What are your thoughts.
