Well my quick Flintstones shop job has taken a life of it's own.
Is my own fault for being so anal I guess.
Yesterdays endeavor.

Pic1. The LH wooden side rail was very loose, it was actually sitting 1/8" to 1/4" above the playfield. (was probably one of the reasons that the 'smart' ramp was such a pain to adjust).

Pic2. Easy fix right, just tighten the screws on the underside of the playfield.

Pic3. Wrong!...Well of course they're not all accessible. One was buried under the LH hinge track.

Pic4. Hmm... How am I going to remove this without having to disconnect the harness and completely remove the playfield.

Pic5. I know, I'll just suspend the whole thing from the ceiling. I knew there was a reason I was putting off replacing the panels.

Cool manoeuvre! Very funny. Thanks for sharing. This is something that Mr Bean would do to fix his pin. I would love to see the next picture...

Hang in there, if you do not do it, everytime you play the game you will curse yourself for not fixing it properly.

You are also in good company here, lots of us are just as anal.  


It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!

What Adam failed to mention is that before he hung the playfield from the ceiling, he ripped off the ceiling itself because he was too lazy to buy hooks!  


Retiring soon...
