Anyone ever experience the raptor gate binding with the playfield when it drops? More specifically, the lip of the gate on the side closest to the raptor has been getting physically hung up on the opening in the playfield. It keeps the gate open about 1/8" and prevents any balls from entering during play or sometimes exiting (at the end of a game). I've scoured the forums for answers but am coming up empty. I can correct it temporarily by messing with the mechanism mounting (correcting mounting angle, tightening gate guides) but the gate is never really well centered and its only a matter of time before it starts hanging up again. Has anyone encountered this or know of a more long term reliable fix? Certainly seems due to wear from the balls constantly slamming into it when it's closed.
