Anyone want to explain why that ball guide isn't adjustable? Seems like having the last screw hole be slotted so you could move it a millimeter would solve the problem (disclaimer: non-owner that hasn't seen how it's attached up close).

Quoted from dzoomer:

What ball guide? The outlanes?

the one coming out of the pops and draining the ball down the middle.

Quoted from T7:

It's frustrating to read so many posts on such an EASY FIX!
Just add a rubber to the post at the end of the pops ball guide. 30 seconds and it's fixed. The ball will bounce over to the left flipper 90% of the time. Leveling won't even matter.
It's too bad if you can't get an operator to do this for you, but it's sooooooo easy.

Definitely wouldn't be able to get our operator to do it. He doesn't care.

Quoted from Hazoff:

Yes Sir, if you are judging pinball by the on location games.

Unfortunately, that's the only option for most people. And if a game is only fun and playable when its perfectly configured, then they have made a mistake. A game will never stay perfectly level on location and if a half degree makes that big of a difference, its a problem. The game should play well at home and on location. We aren't talking about a game that hasn't been cared for and kept up, were talking about a game that requires constant releveling to prevent center drains that make the game unplayable for the average customer.

Quoted from gweempose:

I'm pretty aggressive with the nudging, and mine doesn't require constant leveling. In fact, I've only ever leveled it once.

At home you should have a nice level floor.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

The one I play on location gets thrown around a lot. I slide it to the left and to the right all the time to avoid various drains. This game also never drains out of the pops, and rarely ever has a SDTM from the magnet.

Sounds like you have a good op and a nice location. Not everyone is so lucky.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

yeah sounds like it. There are about 3-5 serious pinheads that put a good number of games on it each week. Then other than that I do not think it gets much play since it is so difficult. If anything is not playing right, I email the OP and he comes out to adjust whatever it needs within 24 hours usually.

Yeah, that's great. Our game is in the mall arcade, is the only pin, and replaced a Monopoly that had been sitting there with an out of order sign for months. You can imagine the kind of play and care it gets.
