Quoted from gblack:For the new guys... if you’re having a tough time with side drains it’s worth the effort to move the side drain posts to the lower position. The right one is a pain! For some reason they used a screw post and it’s really tight to get to since you have to unscrew from the top. I had to disassemble enough of the helicopter area so that I could get a small deep socket in there. Maybe someone will chime in with a trick there?
I was struggling to break 100M (embarrassing) and first game after I hit 201M which makes the game much more enjoyable!
You don't need to screw them out. You can tap them out from under the playfield with the the right sized piece of metal. I used a mini screwdriver.
