Quoted from chuckwurt:Ball should never touch that target coming down the guide. Need to adjust it so it doesn’t do that. You should get repeatable inner orbit shots from the left flipper.
OMG!!! Thank you. It was the lane guide.
Had to remove the bottom half of the left ramp, a clear plastic under that ramp and the plastic covering the lane guide.
Loosened the 1 wood screw at the bottom of the lane guide, pushed the lane guide towards the middle of the PF, and re-tightened. Though I haven't played the game since I adjusted the lane guide (will wake my wife...and the games are 2 floors away from her...gggrrr.....) I can roll the ball and it is fine. Whether I launch the ball into the right inner loop or let it dribble from the demogorgon kickout, the ball hits the middle of the left flipper. Before it would hit anywhere from the tip of the left flipper to the middle of the right flipper.
I suspect that I will enjoy it much better now because 25% of the shots to the right inner loop before would go SDTM.
What clued me in was watching the youtube video of the UV Kit (from TNT) and Todd hit the Demogorgon on the first shot from the eject. It was impossible for me to do that because the ball would end up at the tip of that left flipper.
It is friggin killing me to not be able to play it now.
