Shadow, The
Bally, 1994Everytime lower the playfield back down after I have had it raised on my Shadow it comes down crooked.
When latching the playfield in place I get a gap on the right side (see photo). I have to hook it in on the left and then force it in the slot on the right, the playfield is also leaning a little to the left and is not level.
I had a look on the "rails" in the cab and can't see what's causing the problem.
It may not be the full cause of the problem, but it looks like the apron is not on correctly. You can see the playfield wood on the right and not the left. Is the play field hanger on the right somehow bent in? You can easily take off the apron and hangers off to check.
I highly bet the playfield isn't crooked at all. Your problem I would say is actually the cabinet. it is either not level in the legs, or the cab is sagging. I bet if you pick up on the right front of the cab...the playfield will drop right in.
thank you both for helping me.
Wickedquickss, you where spot on. I swithed the left and right back legs and now everything is aligned right. I had my pin over to my brothers place during xmas and obviously didn't put the legs back on in the right order.
