0 Super Moderator GIBO Posted July 22, 2008 Super Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2008 After checking out your pic of the playfield I would follow the same line as those steel ball guides on it .Later model Bally/Williams have a hole in the playfield where you can put a small allen key in to rest the flipper against when adjusting also just a slight bit of up and down movement on the flipper you dont want it tight on the bush and tighten the clamp up F#@KING tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can check this simply by viewing the underside of the flippers and checking that they do not scratch the playfield during travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 narf_ Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 cheers nino i can see where the mylar at some stage has been scraped by a flipper. might just order some new ones to be safe. as i did raise them up about 2mm of the PF when i set them but if they go flush with the bushings i guess there worn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can sometimes create friction, but you should replace the bushing.. I THINK from memory - these are the bushings; http://www.rtbb.com.au/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=40_38_70&products_id=392 You need 2 per flipper. Alternatively, you could go for a full rebuild kit - but they are expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
