Quoted from wizard91:Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help with a question I have about theatre of magic.
I've had my table for some time now but I've noticed the last few months it is almost impossible to make the metamorphosis ramp shot. I know this is a difficult shot at the best of times but I seem to remember hitting this at least a few times when I first got the table but now I can't remember the last time I made the full ramp even with what I feel is a decent clean shot. At best I get the ball half way up and it drops out of the mid way hole by the trunk.
I'm pretty sure the left flipper coil is correct as per the manual but wondering if a flipper rebuild is required or if there is anything else I can do / check to try and make this shot slightly easier it just seems an impossible shot at present on my table which is a shame for such a cool feature. I did replace the flippers and flipper rubbers a while back but as far as I know they are positioned correctly etc.
Thanks for any suggestions.
I had an issue where the ball was getting hung up by the ball gate switch on the ramp. This was because the ball was airborn hitting the switch gate half way up. This may be your problem if you feel there is enough power in the shot. I lowered the plastic protector by reducing the height of the circled standoff which lowered the trajectory of the ball and now it works perfectly.
