Just joined the club! Bought my first pinball this weekend. The Shadow is a game that is near and dear to my heart, I played a ton of it over the years as a kid at my local pizza place. I've been toying with the idea of getting on for years and finally decided to pull the trigger because there was a perfect spot for it in my billiard room.

Hey everyone.

I've had my Shadow for about a week and I've noticed two problems.

1) The left ramp switch is very inconsistent. I bent it a bit to trigger more, but now the ball sometimes gets stuck and it still doesn't trigger every time. I've read this is a common problem and the solution is to get a longer switch. Anyone have any other thoughts?

2) The left loop is also inconsistent (triggers probably 90% of the time).

I'm also thinking about rebuilding the flippers. The spring that pulls it back broke a bit on one. I was able to reattach, but it makes me think the flippers probably haven't been serviced in a while.

My left lane diverter is acting up. It sometimes doesn't work move, sometimes it gets stuck in the middle, and sometimes the ball moves the diverter.

Any thoughts?
