Yes it is. I'm planning on taking it out, and that's what I figured. I plan to take it out. I just was making sure it wasn't some sort of strange mod someone was doing, or a common fix for something else. Thanks.
Thanks for the responses! I'm new to the pinball world and plan to take as much knowledge from anyone that's willing to help. Thanks!

1) You don't need to 'level' the upper playfield. If you level the machine correctly then the upper playfield will level correctly and balls will NEVER get stuck in the corners. I'd love to flying clothes-line the person who put in that screw 
2) Your bumper caps are in the wrong order. They should be Red then Orange then Yellow on bottom. It corresponds to the skill shot and should light up accordingly. See this thread: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/twilight-zone-pop-bumer-cap-order

Not quite sure what planet you're from, but WMS specifically added a leveling screw/spring to the bottom right mount just for leveling. It is often necessary, since the posts and side rail's heights may not be exactly matched.

My bad. I wasn't aware of this screw/spring. You learn something new everyday 
Quoted from FatPanda:You should go back and have them gice you 100 so you can buy a new mini pf.
Where are these available from? When I checked with Mirco they wouldn’t sell the mini pf seperately.

Please, don't buy it from Mad Amusements (aka *pinballparts* on eBay) He's a crook.....a fraudulent con-man.

Thanks, will check those out. Reproduction is fine, Mirco is what I meant as they are a manufacturer of reproduction playfields but I’m fine buying through Marco as they are good people too.

It's quotes like this that keep me coming back to Pinside!

Oh! Okay - yeah, originally the game had no way to level the powerfield. When production started, they made a spring/screw setup where you adjust one screw (the one on the inside, away from the outside of the game) and it will tilt the powerfield left-right. (Not increase/decrease pitch.)
