Twilight Zone
Bally, 1993Hello all! I just got a TZ! Really like the machine. Problem I am having is when the ball launcher shoots the ball into the shooters lane it often hits the post and goes back into the starting spot. It will do this several times before it finally gets over to the right place to shoot it. The pin does have the LED's that light up as you shoot the ball to playfield. Is there a way to adjust this? Thanks for your help!!!!
Quoted from gweempose:This happens on a lot of TZ's. Fortunately, it's an easy fix. Just bend the ball guide that sits above the ball downward slightly with a pair of pliers. This will help to deflect the ball toward the plunger and away from the post rubber ...
Another fix along with this one is to take the rubber out of that middle post.
I actually did both of these-problem fixed.
Cool! I already tried removing the rubber on the post now I will bend the metal piece a bit. I also think the LEDs mod is causing a bit of issue because it extends past the post a small amount. Actually think ball is hitting this and bouncing back into hole.
