Quoted from Craig:In response to my most frequent mistake:
Never forget to secure the pinballs before lifting the playfield.
Quoted from Meph:I used to use a rag on STTNG to block the wireform in the shooter lane. Then I would lift the playfield only to hear balls smashing into the other side of the subway. Now I just remove them all before lifting the playfield so I don't crack the subway. Took me a while to learn that. I'm slow.
Yes, I stuff a rag in the shooter lane/trough on STERN's but Pins like STTNG, that doesn't work so well. So I vote for the best method is to "REMOVE all balls from a playfield BEFORE raising it."
