    I'm really tall, 6'-5".

    I notice that I like playing the higher pins much more than the lower ones. It's time to finally do something about it.

    By lower and higher ones, I mean the way some pins sit an inch or two lower or higher than the others. Like Bally Atlantis sits an inch higher than my other pins.

    Do any tall players put their games on blocks or something like that to lift them up a little?

    I'm thinking of making blocks from wood with a shallow depression routed in the top to hold the foot of the pin.

    Anyone come up with an elegant way to raise your pins and arcade games up an inch or two? How much did you raise it?

    Did raising the games affect the shorter players?

    I'm tired of the marquee light on my arcade games shining into my face. And I have to bend down to play Battlezone like I'm tying my shoes.

    Quoted from zacaj:

    I know someone who bought longer legs for all their machines, and I definitely play better on taller machines over all. But I wouldn't do anything to mine to make them taller, it'd mess me up too much playing elsewhere

    How much longer are the legs?
