Re: Gottlieb Surfer EM - spinner question/ help...

Thanks guys, thought I'd solved it and patted my self on the back. Went to put the glass back on and the top of the spinner bracket hit the glass  ^.^
So back to the drawing board, put the original posts in, took the spinner from the Meteor and installed it & the machine played fine with it !!! . Made no sense to me, so I ended up taking the crappy stickers off the spinner and sanded the paint nice n flat. Ball would roll through at snails pace 90% of the time.

Final solution was to apply playfield wax to the spinner and playfield and now 100% no issue.

Now I have to solve the missing picture on the spinner. Was thinking of trying to make a stencil and paint the spinner instead of a stencil. I'll post another question in a new post on that one.

Retropin -  thanks for the offer, I was going to take you up on it, but that damn glass got in the way @.@

Here is a pic of the final setup - still need to get a couple of washers for the spinner to keep the rod in correct spot...
