And here is my fix for a pretty major problem i found with the playfield. The playfield was bowed BADLY in the center causing the ball to roll inwards so i fabricated this brace to straighten the p/f surface. It bolts through the playfield at the ends and has two adjustable bolts to push up from beneath and make the surface straight and level.
Fairly common problem that with Fishtales and some other titles too I believe, seems to be a problem with the assembly of the side rails to the playfield.
The join of the side rails randomly ends up under the playfield pivot, causing it to bend.
Tim from HRP mentions it in his Safe Cracker resto
Yeah i figured it might be a common problem with Fishtales. I was guessing it might be due partly to the large section cut out in the upper section for the boat
and the weight of the playfield and all of the fixtures.
Anyhow the game is now back home and set up in Ian's line up, i'll get some pics next time i'm there and add them to this thread
(and most likely getting a good workout as i type this!!)
