Hi guys.

My trunk is kinda loose, I mean I can turn it like a half an inch with my hand. So that means during gameplay, the ball can knock the trunk out of aligment, and it won't turn at all. To me it seems like the center rod is not tighten enough, is there a way to tighten the center rod???
And, is it a true nightmare to take the trunk assy out???

Cheers

I'd like to show you guys but i dont know how to upload video clips

Thanks a lot for your inputs guys, I found this pic online, and it looks like the center rod has at least 2 of these tightning screws, so I'll have to work my way down from the top of the trunk by removing the wires and see if I can get access to the tiny screws
Let's hope I dont have to go inside the gearbox

Had to open the gearbox and tight these two screws.
Trunk now spins very well
Thanks guys

Quoted from Mank:

It looks like you already have the screws out of the gear box. Just open it up. The Bally grease can get gunked up in there. Clean off the gears by taking them out, cleaning them, then using new Teflon lube. From the picture, you look very organized. It should be no problem. One note: on the lower collar closest to the trunk there is a roll pin. Make sure of the orientation first, so when you put it back together it will be in the same orientation. It is there to limit the trunk rotation. MAKE SURE it is oriented correctly, or else when you put everything back together, the trunk won't rotate and you'll have to take it all apart and put it back together correctly. Don't ask me how I know this.

Mank, if you have a perfectly working ToM pin, would it be too much to ask if you could please take a pic for me with the trunk case off and lemme see the center rod, I'd like to see it's position (the gap in the bolt) mine is pointing at 9 o'clock, but i think it's still a tiny tiny bit off mark...
Remember to turn the game on before you take the pic, so the trunk will go into it's correct position for gameplay

Quoted from Robl45:

Did you use loctite on the screws so hopefully you won't be doing it again? Did you use some sort of grease in there?

No, I didn't but I did tight those two screws pretty well, it ain't moving now, and after 23 years of use, these are almost bound to come loose sooner or later, but for now I think it'll hold for many years.

Yes, the gearbox had plenty of grease, and all the cogs are getting lubrication

...I've been playing a few rounds now, and the trunk behave as it should, spins around to the correct sides when that's needed, also the magnet for multiball, it lifts the ball, spin around and drop it, then return to the jackpot position
