Hi everyone, been in the club about a year now! I haven't posted before but now I have a couple questions:

-First, I need to buy a new power cord and here are 2 I found:

http://www.actionpinball.com/parts.php?item=COR003

Is there a reason to choose one over the other or is there a different one you would recommend?

-Second, I'm in the Saint Louis area and I'd like to find someone to look over my machine to see if there are any things that may be obvious to someone who is more experienced (I am teaching myself everything and I know I have a lot to learn) that I should make a priority to fix / replace before I go spending money on things I would like to get but can wait if needed (i.e. new glass, legs, ect). If anyone has any recommendations for someone to contact, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Now that you say that I realize that I remember that about the computer store from when I initially got the machine but the closest store isn't actually close lol. I need to get new balls too so I will just get the one from pinball life, thank you.

There are only a few mods I would like and these look great!

Today I replaced the slot machine plastic (& replaced the rivet with a small screw ), fixed a stripped screw hole on my bridge diverter and put new balls in my machine. I was very happy and it was playing so nice.

While playing, I noticed my ball got stuck at the rocket which never really happened before but I hoped it was just a fluke and kept playing. Unfortunately no fluke so after the third tilt from trying to roll it out, here I am.

I attached a picture because honestly I never looked too close and I am not sure what it should look like. When I push the trigger back the machine makes the noise like it is rocketing out the ball but it isn't working. Any ideas?

This could have at least waited a week since I just fixed the only 2 nagging issues it had and really wanted to enjoy it after lol. Thanks!

It has always worked until now, so unless it moved on its own or flipped itself upside down, I am not sure if either of those things are the problem.

Can someone share a picture of it on their machine?

I could see that being an issue, now I wonder why it always worked before now.

Thank you, I will do that now.

looking now, on the front screw, I think you might be right!! That is definitely a problem!

Brb with an update.

Perfect! So glad it was an easy fix! As soon as I started to loosen the screw, it let the ball guide move and the kicker sprung back, I put the guide under BOTH screws and it all better now. Thanks everyone.

Whose? Mine or fiberdude120's?

I'll get a picture this evening. I'm still trying to decide what color for the flipper rubbers to put on it (so they are still red for now) and see what else I want to change on it sooner or later.
