Star Trek: The Next Generation
Williams, 1993I have a Williams STTNG, the two slingshots under the cannons are rather weak, it's not the settings of the contacts as they activate readily enough but it seems the push lever is not close enough to the rubber so half the energy is lost before it pushes the rubber.
My only other pin- (a Demolition man) has the levers just touching the rubber so the rebound is powerful but on STTNG they are at least 10mm away. Is this normal or is there some kind of adjustment because I can't see one?
You are seriously not getting any loss of power from the distance traveled. Unless the activator can barely touch the rubber, you're fine.

It must be the linkage or plunger wear sapping some of the energy, I'll look into a refurb kit
