Shatterd sling globe
« on: September 06, 2011, 01:19:52 PM »
I am still having problem with balls striking the top 47 globe on the left slingshot on The Getaway ^.^  It doesn't happen all the time but when it does its annoying  ^&^ I have tried changing the pitch of the game and the belts so its more tight around the sling. You no when the globe is struck you get a little puff of smoke and glass flies all over the place. Then I switch the game off to stop eney damage.    Eney thought's on how I can stop this once and for all   !@#

I've seen plenty of machines with the double rubbers I wonder if this is why?

Usually to stop balls getting stuck under the rubber. AFM is big for this, I've had two rubbers on it since the day I got it. But might do the job of stopping this happening too, worth a try.

Yep also to stop breaking drop targets and also to stop breaking globes.

Find clear vinyl tubing you can slip over the bulb and socket down into the playfield. Cut it so it's a little taller than the bulb.

That should do it.

every data east machine I have removed the sling shot plastics on have a nail under the plastics. I am assuming they came out of the factory like this as every machine has the exact same type of nail.

The clear tube is a good Idea and the best way to go In my opinion.
