Hi Guys,
Found out my fishtales had two wrong flipper coils in it so I replaced them with the correct ones and did a flipper rebuild at the same time. New flippers feel great, a little too great. In spite of raising the angle on the play field the new flippers can still pop balls out of the ramp/habitrail if you absolutely nail a boat shot.
I have taken the boat plastic apart and tried to get the angles for boat to ramp to habitrail nice and smooth, which made it a lot better, but if you nail the ball up there it can still pop out of either side.
I don't really want the flippers too much weaker than they are as they feel great. Any other solution?
As a side note, sometimes when the ball goes around the boat really fast it doesn't trigger the switches for the school of fish. I've tried bending the tabs on the switches up to force it to make contact but it still doesn't trigger sometimes. This was happening before the rebuild on suitably speedy shots.
Cheers
Clancy
