Hi everybody,

I've got a little problem. I bought this machine a couple of years ago and only noticed recently that the piano plastic was completely torn and broken to pieces. So I went ahead and created my own reproduction, I know the size is ok and everything but when I try to install it where it should be the plastic can't go all the way in. It's resting on the metal of the piano entry. Looks like that's what broke the other plastic too. I've attached a picture to demonstrate.

Looks like everything else is in place but why isn't it going all the way in? I've been debating about cutting my new plastic for it to fit, but I'd rather figure out what's wrong. Something else must be out of alignment.

Well that's all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance!!!!

Nic

I see your 2 bolts (on the right and middle) appear to be in properly, but that the left ones are not ok. is that what you mean by all the way in ?

Is the scoop properly in from beneath ?

Actually there are no bolts on the far left. Plastic posts go in there to prevent the ball to get stuck behind the clock (which isn't in the picture). I can't really tell if the piano scoop (metal thing) is where it should be, I don't have anything to compare with. Any suggestions???

Thanks

Yeah, I'm going to change all the rubbers (or almost). I even have the wrong rubber type on the upper left flipper. That looks pretty ugly.
