Hey guys,

Anyone having abnormal "bounce" issues with the targets beside the right ramp? Both targets bounce pretty good, but my yellow NW target on the left side of the right ramp really causes the ball to bounce pretty good when hit straight on at full speed. Quite often it bounces over and lands in between the low pressure jet bumpers, once or twice it's landed inside the ramp above those bumpers, and probably a half dozen times just in the past week it's knocked the plastic light cover off the top of both cellar signs. It's happening with such frequency that I figure this must not be normal. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I can tweak these targets to reduce the bounciness.

I'm recently a new Whirlwind owner, received about 3 weeks ago, and this is my first pinball machine. I've already done a few repairs on my own (million ramp replacement, new opto boards, and some new lights) thanks to some really helpful information found on this site. That is to say I'm knowledgeable enough and willing to dig in where needed.

TIA!

Quoted from Bman:

Hi all, long time member, but I picked up another Whirlwind for a family member, but it is missing the Wheel drive Assembly (the whole unit). So I was wondering if anyone had one for sale? I know it is a long shot, but if I can't find one, I'll have to break the machine down and turn it into a parts machine, so I am holding out hope. It has a few other things missing, but I can replace those items, so everything is hanging on the wheel drive assembly.
PM me if you happen to have one.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's listed as out of stock, but not discontinued...so that's a good sign. Perhaps reach out to them and check for future availability.
