I have some flipper hop on my right hand flipper on my recently acquired pin. I have tweaked the wire guide forward as much as I can and still have flipper hop. I need to pull the guide and move the guide hole in the play field forward about 1/16".

My question is how to best remove a wire guide from a play field? My logic suggests I use a block of protective wood and a small pry bar and pry the guide upwards. But sometimes my logic bites me in the butt.

Any advise appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks, man.

I have completely re-kitted the flippers with new bushing, links, springs and plungers. I did not see anything that looked out of the ordinary at the time.

I'll have another look at the flipper, but I have had to re-locate two pop bumpers to get them centered in their holes. Of course, this made it that I had to move the pop spoons to get them centered on the skirt rods.

The right hand outlane is set more conservatively than the left. I don't know if this would be to blueprint, or not, but I like the way the game plays so I will leave this.

Also, there are two fences located behind the flippers in this 4 flippered Big Game and these two fences are not installed to blueprint(i.e. they are not installed symmetrically even). I have measured the flipper pivot points at the bushings and they measured even(I'll double check this).

With these minor location issues I just sort of figured the assembly person moved his jig or sneezed when he/she drilled the guide hole. Sort of like when someone gets their ears pierced and the piercing person missed the mark and one earring is too low on the earlobe when compared to the other.

Thanks everybody. I'll try to get hold of mod for advise. I am concerned that if I move the inboard part of the wire guide forward by just rotating it that it could change the trajectory of the ball and the ball could exit the guide and head for the middle of the table.
