I know how this feels Braddo,  ^.^

I had a good mate over to play some games, and he was pushing the pin all over the place, was feeling nervous watching it, I did not have the tilt set up then, but I do now.....
He saw nothing wrong in how he was playing, and I guess when I was a kid down at the arcade you would tilt them as far as you could get away with.
He has been back for a game since I set the tilt up, had a few whinges when he locked it up, but I am a lot more relaxed when we play now.

Cheers

I've got a couple of mates like that.. They used to shake the crap outta my games and i will NOT tolerate that!! Now i have the tilt set a bit more sensitive to compensate a bit. Now I know they can take a bit of abuse... I dont mind a bit of gentle persuasion when they are being played, but if anyone gets too heavy handed i put a stop to it, especially when i've put heaps of $$ into them, doing them up.  i had one mate who decided to start kicking the legs as he played, (painted legs btw), i kicked HIM in the legs and said "how do YOU like it?"  :lol :lol

I've never heard of a backglass being broken while the game was being played. I've broken a couple .. one a Super Star (Wms) but was stuffed anyway, (i had the shits about something and threw something at it) !@) the other was a MINT 6million$man glass i bought for $20, (about 15 years ago), had it leaning against the wall next to a game and i lifted the pf, the ball fell out of the outhole/pf and hit the edge of the 6m$m glass, shattering it  !!! !!!
