The TILT mech was added to stop idiots shaking the crap out of machines - also stopped cheats. Remember, these were once peoples bread and butter and were there to make money.. if a machine got wrecked cos Popeye with attitude insists on bashing the crap out of it, then it aint gonna earn jack S.
put the tilt back on.. better still slam the dumb idiots head down hard on the playfield glass and ask how he likes it
