Really no "correct" angle as the lines on the glass were there to allow the operator to set the angle within those parameters.  The first line was usually 6 degrees of pitch and each line after was approx. 1/2 degree of pitch.  Most games I saw regarded the "recommended pitch" to be 6 1/2 degrees which placed the head of the bubble between the first and second line.  Each machine manual had a reference to the bubble so you might have a squiz at the manual.
The ramp business was very very good to me.

Me too, although sometimes I prefer pasties, and the odd sausage roll goes down well.
