Fixed!    @@*

I spent about 2 hours today, changing the level of the machine, adjusting the angle of the shooter but nothing worked.  I tried playfield at 6deg, 6.5deg, 7deg nothing.  The ball continued to hit the middle targets.  I even checked all the transistors for the shooter, thinking it wasn't getting enough power...

THEN....brainwave.

From watching some videos of the designers testing on whitewoods, I was manually flicking the ball from the shooter lane with my fingers, different powers, angles and still not working.  This is when I thought it has to be something else.  Whilst staring at the metal wall ramp from the shooter lane, I noticed an adjustment for the top end (where the ball comes out) with a screw and long bracket for it (pictured).

Moved the bracket and perfect.  I searched and searched and couldn't find anywhere about this bracket so now I'm happy.

What was even better, I then cranked the playfield angle back to 6.5-7deg, glass back on then proceeded to get my highest score ever.  Two super jackpots, redline mania and without cheating with secret mania either!!
