    Not a tool, but maybe a suggestion for a solution idea. I have tile in my game room area. I love its ease of upkeep, cleanliness, look etc but one that sucks about pinball is those rare cases, due to the way the chips fall, 2-3 games are sitting on cracks and when this happens, the surface irregularities can affect a pins behavior if it is nudged up onto the higher tile.

    It would be really nice to have some sort of 3-4 inch leveler. Some use another piece of tile remnant and set the machine on there, but it can scratch the floor, and it doesn't conform to the floor. A dense rubber backing, almost like pergo style flooring, cut to size, with the dense rubber backing might do it?

    Any suggestions? Ripping up tile ain't happening, so save that one.

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    At the saratoga show, I used a stiff rubber gym floor mat and cut it up into pieces to put under leg levelers to help protect the wood floor. I imagine it could help bridge a small gap.[quoted image]

    Terrific idea. Thanks!
