Hello everyone, I just installed Game Blades on my Whirlwind. I HIGHLY suggest you use the Soapy water spray method, ESPECIALLY on system 11 games with very minimal side clearance. Just put a drop of soap in a spray bottle with water and spray the back of the Game Blade. With the playfield up, slide the Game Blade into position. The soapy water allows you to readjust over and over until you get it into position. Make sure you you spray it quite a bit because if it drys on you, it’s tougher to adjust. Honestly, this method was very easy with minimal water drips. I recommend it for all game Installs. Just wipe up any water drips with a towel and your done.

This may be a dumb question, but should the plunger spring be strong enough to successfully go up the left ramp and around? If so, why even go for the light plunge skill shot? I’d rather clear a target by a full plunge and further advance towards a lock and multi-ball. Any thoughts? Thank you.

Wow, okay, with a full plunge mine goes up the left ramp, up and around and drops by the spinning discs. How would I go about fixing that? Seems like a big adjustment??

I have the same exact issue. I moved the guide as far as it will go to the right and the ball still wants to go up the left ramp or off the post just right off the ramp. But definately not where it’s supposed to go, towards the SW arrow. Any other suggestions out there??

So, I figured out that the metal guide was bent over the years. I found this out by wedging a screw driver inbetween the metal guide and the playfield wall, slightly bending the metal guide towards the middle of the playfield(see pic). When I plunge the ball, it now goes where it should. Towards the SW arrow.

Now I just need to bend the guide a little further, hoping it stays in place. Or wedge a metal post in there. Any thoughts?

Pindiddy, I think your gonna have to bend the metal guide back in place a bit, like I did with mine. For the longest time I thought the plunge was supposed to go up the ramp. I was playing it wrong for a long time.

Hey guys, I just got Cliff’s ball guides for WW. WOW! The hop is long gone. Makes this a fantastic shooter now!!

Lol!

Can someone help me with how to lower the height of the spinning discs in Whirlwind? Thank you!!!

Lol, never noticed that. Thanks! All good!

Which lighting mod? He offers a few different ones.

I must be terrible at WW, because I didn’t even remember what the 3-way convo is. Any insight out there? Thanks all!

Thank you! 250k!!?? That’s a joke!! Lol.

Shaker motor by pinshakers is awesome. I tied it into the fan. Truly feels like a storm hitting.
