Quoted from Geocab:

Should the upper lock shot be difficult to hit even with a clean shot? I wouldn't think so, but it sure seems that way.
Even with a clean shot, the ball falls just short of the lock and drops down the "E" lane. I have rebuilt the flippers with new coils, Fliptronics style flipper mechs, with the EOS switch set to close with just less than an 1/8" of travel left in the piston. Just did a playfield swap with a CPR repro. Also a new switch installed at the right flipper button. Last I checked the table is at 6 degrees tilt.
What else should I be checking?
Thanks as always!

This for me is always the "litmus test" on whether or not a Firepower is shopped and setup properly.

You just need to keep messing around with it. 6 degrees may be too steep...try making it a little more shallow. With rebuilt flippers and a brand new playfield there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to make that shot.
