pop bumper works now and then
« on: April 09, 2013, 10:35:59 PM »
this could be a simple adjustment but on my space invades, one of the pops doesn't work, usually when the ball slowly comes from the middle upper lane and just kinda rests on it. if the ball hits it hard, it will work. Also if the ball hits the sides, I think it always activates. Sometimes hitting it at 12 o'clock does activate

I haven't bothered with it as I plan a pf swap pretty soon seeing landscaping might be taking a backseat for winter, but would like any heads up if something may need attention prior to installing it on the swap. I'd hate to have to disassemble once everything is in place again.

look forward to any thoughts

Try cleaning and gaping the switch.  Also if you loosen the two screws holding the switch to the playfield and move the switch so the bumper wafer is sitting in the center of the spoon
