I have an issue with my AC/DC spinner where the bottom of the spinner, when at rest, will be leaning out towards the flippers. This will cause the ball to sometimes come to a complete stop when making the spinner shot, or slowing it down so much that you can only get one or two spins on it.
My friends Game of Thrones had the same issue.
I have looked at the wire it is on and it seems to be perfectly straight, but even if I try to set the spinner perfectly up and down with my hand, the bottom side will always pull itself back out towards the flippers.
I searched the site to see if there is a universal fix for this but came up with nothing.
Since I am sure I am not the only one this is happening to, I thought I would start a new thread to get some answers and maybe help someone else.
Not sure if I should just order a replacement spinner or if someone knows the exact direction to bend something to make it straight again.
