Sharp Shooter II
Game Plan, 1983I have a SharpShooter 2, and there is an orbit that goes around the kickout hole. Looking at the wear, I thought there was another post that went there. After putting the machine back together, the ball can get stuck by resting between these posts. What is supposed to be there. My best guess is that it should be a ball guide, but I can't find any pictures on the web that gives me clear information. I've included a picture for clarity.
There is a turn-around ball guide that goes over the five posts in the photo P/N 08-00038A and then there is the turn-around overlay P/N 08-00030C that goes over that. You can see them both in this photo:

Edit: SS2 is slightly different there - it used two ball guide wires - one on either side of the rollover switch.

Thanks for the help. It answers my question perfectly. Looks like I need to form a ball guide to fix that issue. It now also explains why the rubber kit didn't quite work. There were never supposed to be three posts in that area. My mistake for assuming the wear pattern indicated what should have been there. Doh!
