Regarding new WCS ramps, before he sold his company to Starship Fantasy, James had said that WCS ramps were at the top of his list. I think that was about 2 years ago. I am happy that Starship Fantasy is continuing the ramps business, but have they produced ramps for any new games since taking over?

There is a setting for the difficulty level for the Final. When set to easy, Germany usually scores 3 or 4 goals. I sold my WCS awhile back and bought a new one. The flippers are stronger and the playfield is clearcoated and plays really fast. On my old game, I would average 4-5 goals and win about 2/3 of the time. On the new machine I average 8 goals and have never lost (about 12-0). So, the game setup and flipper strength are important. On the old machine, I reached the final about 80% of the time and on the new machine only about 30% of the time. I really have a hard time making the left loop to travel on the new machine.

I just noticed that there is a game adjustment A.2.34 which is not in the manual. It is called GOALIE CNT. DELAY. Mine was set at about 40 and I changed it to the factory suggested 12. I am wondering if that is a delay between counting goals in the wizard mode. Before I would see a number of shots not count if they were too close together. Now, it almost never misses counting a shot. I am running ROM PX-3 I think. Anyone know what this setting is about?

I had the same problem. The rubber post sleeve on the right side at the end of the ball guide was too big in diameter. I replaced it with a smaller one. That let the ball guide end move down a little bit and now the ball hits in the middle of the left sling which is where it should hit. (I'm On my 3rd WCS game)

The 2 post sleeves you show on my machine were slightly wider than standard. I replaced them with Titan sleeves and either the ramp tip straightened a tiny bit or the ball was being slightly diverted by the sleeves. After replacement, I have had no problems. It looks to me like the lower of the 2 post sleeves on your machine shows wear from the ball exiting the loop. The ball should not touch the rubber post when exiting I think.

I have had 3 different WCS machines. All had no difficulty with making the assist shot. I assume they were the original parts. But, I never used a Cliffy on the assist hole.

I have had 3 of these over the last 10 years. I believe all posts were teal, except for a couple that were on top of plastics and ramps that had no contact with the ball. The link is to a TC restoration from maybe 10 years ago, I would guess.

Regarding the bump onto the right flipper, adjusting the flipper angle may not be the fix. It is pretty easy to try. It may be that the metal guide rail that the ball rolls on right before the flipper is worn and needs to be replaced.

I believe the adjustment to the side kickouts is described in the manual. Grasp the top of the kickout arm from the top and pull up. Hold in that position and bend the arm a tiny bit in the opposite direction that you want the ball to go.

I sold my game awhile back so I am not sure. But I have seen the adjustment described somewhere and it works. Just bend a little bit.
