Durring the multiball the 3 balls are getting bunched, and I typically lose 1 ball in the oulane, thinking to bend the wire form to speed up the release, friend suggested adding a washer to raise the form, any suggestions appreciated

ForceFlow This game has the williams diamond plate, is the mylar still necessary? seems pretty bulletproof

PinRetail The balls kinda end up 1, 2 3 on top of each other, the first ball kinda recoils, then they all dump on the insane and the 3rd ball outfalls over into the outline, I'll try to dial all the plumb and level then go with the washer, sounds like trying to bend or reform sounds like a bad idea

Quoted from PinRetail:

you've got a VERY nice Rollergames (you can tell from the picture), and I would also be hesitant to do something permanent to the game.

Thanks, it's my first non-project machine (non-project yeah right), it's in great shape and the guy I bought it from did some excellent cleaning and maintainance, it has the diamond plate playfield and backglash flashers too. I ended up pitching it .2 degrees away from the outlane and now it isn't draining a ball, thanks to everyone for talking me out of messing with the wireform

Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:

I'm glad it got worked out and that the washers I suggested weren't needed.

It happened again durring my weekly "good ball" , going to give the washer a try, everything else is great, we love it and it's a beautifuly working machine, that cliffy on the upper ramp really makes that shot super smooth

Remedy Reccomended by Gogojohnnyquack worked perfectly, placed 1/8 spacer under this lockout, now functioning perfectly
