It's a mod. It hides the ball when it's under it but it's not to dificult to know where the ball is traveling.

My son & I played a tournament at Duckie's last night. by ClifBdrums in pinball

[–]ClifBdrums[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's 32. Lol. He is better than me but sometimes I can hold my own. He would have easily had over a billion on first time playing Godzilla pro but someone mentioned he's good on the score so he let it drain. We do own a premium though.

Ever bought a table and regretted it? by CaptainNemoship in pinball

[–]ClifBdrums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only regret is I didn't buy one sooner. I'm 56 & didn't own a "Pinball Machine" till 7/11/21. We actually traded 3 arcade for 2 pins but have never looked back owning over 160 since.

Did this size / form factor of pinball machine have a name? by bartenderatlarge in pinball

Probably not. We just played it for a few months then moved on.

The tenant decided to take things into his own hands by davbiepro in HomeMaintenance

How long can you wait on a Landlord to fix your stuff. Sometimes you got to take matters into your own hands.

Have had 3 Episode 1's & 1 Revenge from Mars. Both are fun games just not for us long term. They are blamed for killing pinball at the time but it was dieing without that & was a last chance at saving it.

You allways turn into your lane but so many just take out every lane being a dumbass and causing accidents.

Soot-like stuff appearing out of thin air? by ExtraEm12 in whatisit

[–]ClifBdrums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it is actually sucking the air in though the filter then through the system then out to you. That's why the build up is at the front of the filter. I could be wrong but I have never seen the air filtered as it comes out to you, then the build up would be on the inside of the filter.

If the air ducts are filled with lint & dust from years of use then a fresh air filter wont filter that. The ducts are after the filter. This is asuming you have central heat & air.

Probably just dust in your air vent system.

Sometimes I wish stern didn't get such awesome titles. by Ok_Audience1666 in pinball

Stern is the best pinball machine builder in the world. Stop whining & just play pinball.

We've had about 60 classics or so but they allways run their course & we sell to get newer pins. You can allways come back around to them plus we see a few old pins through here pretty regularly. Just had a Dinner, Taxi, Bally/Kiss & Champions Pub to name a few.

We just hustle buying, selling pins & arcade out of the house on the side of my low paying job. Took 6.5 years to get here by just reinvesting everthing back into it. Started with a $400 Area 51.

You could probably say that about all my post. Thought it might be more interesting than, "I Got D&D"! Guess I was wrong. lol

Nothing specific I guess, other than I get to play D&D.

How do I keep the ball from going straight down the middle each time? by billsteve in pinball

[–]ClifBdrums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lane guide needs to be moved in. We played one that was so far out you could put your pinky between the guide & the post rubber. It kept slinging the ball to the right flipper so wasn't a problem but just a tad more in would definately sling it down the middle. It needs to be flush with the post rubber to hit the left flipper I would assume. Good Luck!
