Hey Folks. There has been much concern around the exposed leading edge of the right orbit on The Big Lebowski. This ball guide sits to the left of the right ramp and often takes direct ball hits. This can result in damage to the balls, ball guide, and eventually playfield (if balls get pitted).

Additionally, some of us have experienced ruthless center drains when a ball comes off the right orbit towards the flippers. This protector is aimed at solving both problems.

There are 2 variants:
- Protector with no ball deflection: This will slightly adjust the ball exit from the right orbit ball guide towards the left flipper to avoid SDTM.
- Protector with ball deflection

They come in 2 colors:
- Black
- White

These have been tested, to a degree on a game, and gone through a few sledgehammer tests. The material is called TPU, and it is a rubbery material that has some incredible integrity.

Here is a Video Demonstrating the 2 versions and a sledge test

Orbit Protector Update
------------------------------------

Hey Folks, the first 10 invoices have gone out, (7 paid and have been shipped). keeping track of the orders manually has proven to be quite challenging for over 40 orders. So for those that have not yet received an invoice please order through Etsy. The advantage is getting proper address information, the variants are easy to set up in the system, and you get tracking and updates. This will streamline the speed at which I can get these out to you all.

Thank you!

Been mailing off all your protectors As soon as they come in. Thank you so much for working with me on using ETSY. I hope you all get them install with ease and they save those pinballs

Everyone who has paid should expect to get their protector this week. They wend out media mail which takes about 6 days roughly. Thank you
