Good question. I've only had my FP since September but it is so tough to get that top lock that I consider it just dumb luck when it happens to fall in - sometimes up the right side; sometimes a new ball shot, sometimes bouncing off the upper right popper... and every once in a long while up the left side.

Quoted from mwsmith:Apply carnauba wax to the playfield and all the metal guides leading to the top lock.
I'm trying this over the weekend - I like simple!
I also checked my playfield slope (left to right and top-to-bottom) using a clinometer app on the iPhone - Winkelmesser - works pretty well. I wasn't quite level left-to-right when I checked.

Quoted from HHaase:The post at location #10, labeled 'rubber bumper post'.
Does it have a rubber ring on it? These are the thin steel posts that have the tiny rings on them. If so, take the ring off.
Geocab, I took Han's advice and it made a huge improvement for achieving the shot in my machine.
Hans, THANKS!
