    Quoted from cooked71:

    Tried this and it works. But my back legs are at absolute max extension, so I have to remove the top nut. (And that's with the long 3" Levelers). Can you get longer Levelers?

    Why do people insist on doing this to their games?Not sure about the new Sterns but every Williams/Bally game I own from Swords of Fury through to Star Wars Ep1 states in the game assembly instructions section of the manual
    "Extend each leg leveler slightly below the leg bottom,so that all four foot pads are extended about the same distance."
    "Adjust the leg levelers for proper playfield level(side to side)and playfield pitch angle(incline)of approximately 6 degrees."
    When you go back as far as Pin.Bot the manual states
    "Extend the rear leg levelers to approximately 2/3 length below the leg bottom"
    All the manuals also have a close up drawing of a leg showing it wound down and a picture of both back and front legs wound down.The Pin.Bot manual shows the back legs partly extended.Why not set the game up as it was intended?
