follows:

To check if angle is now correct, slowly
allow a ball to roll down track beginning
just before #1 trough wireforrn. Ball
should easily roll over wireforrn and
settle at a rest position with the ball
touching the ball release stop. Some
readjustment of the #1 trough switch may
also be required. This can also be checked
by slowly rolling the ball over the
wireforrn. The ball should easily depress
the wireforrn, make contact on switch
below, and allow ball to come to rest at
ball release stop.
=Renove cardholder.
=The lower track of the outhole ranp has a
flat area, approximately 1 inch from the
end of the track. This is the area just
behind the #1 trough switch rollover
wireforrn. Place a screwdriver between
board and track, bend track upwards to
renove flat area. See illustration.

OFFSET SCREWDRIVER
Bally Midway SPY HUNTER
steering Roll Pins
By Todd Erickson
Summit Am.Isenent
st. Paul, Minnesota
This game has to be one of the finest
driving games produced in the last few
years. Until now, it has been basically
trouble-free.
At about 50 to 75 thousand plays, however,
the roll pins that hold the steering shaft
to the handle, have been breaking. Now is
the time in this game's life that you can
expect about a 65% (or more) chance of
breakage.
It would be wise to replace these pins at
this point in time, so schedule this game
for service.

First, determine what type of target
spider your game has and follow these
steps:
Step 1. Reroove the existing target decal.
~
Step 2. If your game has a recessed type
spider. immediately place the new target
decal in the location of the old decal. If
your game has an extended type spider.
continue on to Step #3 and place the
target decal on after Step #8 (last step).
Step 3. Recessed type spider: Place one
catch ring segment on the front of the
target in the location shown below making
sure that the outer edge of the segment is
tight to the edge of the decal.
Extended type spider: Place one catch
ring segment making sure that the inner
edge of the segment is tight to the edge
of the target spider.
step 4. Mark the three holes and drill
shallow pilot holes (0.25°/7nm deep) into
the front of the game.

other segments slightly so that they can
be adjusted to allow the last segment to
.fit in.
step 8. After all rounting screws have
been tightened, install the (12) rounting
hole caps. A good tool for this is a 0.25°
or 7nm nut driver. Place the cap over the
hole and tap it in using the nut driver
and a small hanmer.
