I got a new lockdown bar & receiver from Pinball Life for my Bram Stoker's Dracula
I've installed the lockdown bar as high as it can go in the cabinet. Think I've adjusted the brass screws so they are not protruding from the nut at all.
Still I have to really lean on the bar with my whole arm across it and really force it closed.
Any other adjustments I can make? Any trick to getting it to close?
High_End_Pins for the win! Some of the screw holes on the WPC-95 bar I have are drilled a little lower, I guess those few mm makes the difference.
So after playing around with it out of the machine, I found the "trick" needed. It closes easily if I lift the yellow handled lever UP while moving it to the right. There is some slop there and lifting it while moving to the right raises it up enough to easily engage the bar.
