Apologies if this is in the wrong subforum, first time poster. I have a player's Road Show that is not in the best of shape and may have been the victim of some dubious repair work at some point in the past. Ever since I got it, the ball has had a tendency to sometimes (not too often, but often enough) bounce off the spinner on the left ramp, or even get stuck on it. I'm finally getting to a point where I'm slowly learning how these machines work, so I opened it up to take a closer look.

As you can see in the picture, the spinner bracket is attached on the right side (near the dozer), but doesn't quite reach all the way across to the other side of the ramp. There's a hole in the bracket where I'd imagine it's supposed to screw in to the other side, but as of now it's just floating across the ramp, only attached on one side. As a result, I believe the bracket angle is getting messed up during gameplay. The bracket is definitely not wide enough to reach all the way across the ramp.

Is this the wrong spinner bracket that someone installed, or am I misdiagnosing the problem? And if I'm right, any clues as to where I might acquire the correct-sized bracket?

That's... tremendously helpful. And explains a lot. Thanks!

Not a whole lot of pics of the lock lane online, but from what I have found, looks like there's only one place it can logically go. Guess I'll give it a shot.

Really appreciate it, all of you. I think this is a repair even my newbie skills are capable of. Gotta wonder why somebody chose at some point to move the spinner over, though.

Now if only all of the wear on the playfield was so easy to fix!

Edit: Got it done, definitely playing better now.

As a matter of curiosity, anyone know what the point is of that red diamond plastic (construction sign, guy with pinball for a head) shown in the pic above? Does it really just go under the ramp? Seems like kind of a waste.
