Mine is the same as Peter's, factory standard slope and no mods to rubbers. Drains could happen if ball comes slow from the bumpers but a few nudges at the right time will bounce the ball off the standard rubber ring and avoid the guts.
I find the worst drains happen if you do not clear either of the two ramps or if you bounce the wrong way off hell's bell.
AC/DC plays like all Ritchie machines of old. You need to give 100% and maintain the smooth flow. Once you start loosing control of the ball you will get many drains; SR pinballs are not for beginners, they are challenging and adictive. On a slack day, I will struggle to crack 30m. but when SR says "you're on fire!", I frequently crack 150m.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Well written I agree 100% isn't it just an awesome unforgiving pinball, and yes if your not in control of the ball you will loose it, it's such a challenge and is what pinball's all about to me.

Me too. I have timber floors and I was needing to move it back to its position every half dozen or so games as I had slid it 6 inches out of its spot *.* I finished up getting rubber feet that solved that problem. Its the only pin I have had to do that to.

Me to I have wooden floors and its always on and angle after playing due to me nudging it or the shaker motor viabrating it around-everyday I slide it back to its straight position ^^^
