Quoted from Vin:Little awkward, but I'm new to the site, and figured I'd make my first post here since TZ is my favorite pin. I'm an arcade collector, and in the market for my first pin (which will be a TZ). Looking forward to learning all I can.
Welcome!
TZ was the first game I ever owned. Originally being an operator/tech, TZ was one of the few games at the time that I really 'got into'. I have a couple pins now, but also have a few arcades as well. (Driving games, video, redemption, changer, etc.)
Quoted from merccat:Anyway.. question on the shooter lane divider.... my wife kept getting balls stuck on the top of the divider and there was no way to dislodge it without a tilt. Basically a plunge with not quite enough to completely clear the gate and your ball is over. Is that normal? My solution was to simply wedge a post sleve into the front of the divider up there at the gate which seems pretty effective. But I was wondering what is proper for that spot.
Okay, little clarification needed - are you meaning the *gate* up at the skillshot and leading to the rocket, or are you meaning the diverter at the entrance to the autofire kicker?
If the former, try adjusting it - loosen the two screws on the underside of the PF and the screw on top, and shift it, see if that helps.
For the record, mine USED to work perfect - never got balls hung up. However, after clearcoating the PF, the thickness and reassembly now causes one in maybe 100 balls to get stuck. (Used to be more, I had to mess with it..)
