SEGA PINBALL
FLIPPER ALIGNMENT SPOTS
a
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
TEAM SEGA PINBALL
Joe Blackwell, Eric Winston, Ted Kilpin,Jay Alfer
Sega Pinball, Melrose Park, Illinois
Starting with our game Lethal Weapon 3 through our cur-
rent games, we had added two (2) spotting holes to help the
technician ensure the flippers are aligned correctly. There
is one ( 1) small spotting hole at the front end of each flipper
bat (see Fig. 1, Ref. A).
Proper alignment is achieved by centering the ends of each
flipper bat to each spot mark. The Flipper Bats can become
out of alignment with excessive use or if the assembly was
removed / loosened for servicing.
PROCEDURE
(1) Lift playfield and support.
(2) Loosen the Hex Nut and Socket Head Screw (tightens / loosens Pawl to shaft) just enough so that the
Flipper Bat & Shaft moves with some resistance (see Fig. 2, Ref. B).
(3) Center the end of each Flipper Bat to each spot mark (see Fig. 1, Ref. A).
(4) Retighten the Socket Head & Hex Nut (closing the Pawl onto the Flipper Shaft) ensuring the Flipper Bat
is now in the correct position.

Please Al.so Note: Ensure there is minimal up &
down movement of the Flipper Shaft and Pawl.
The space between the Pawl and the Flip-
per Bushing (white plastic) should be no
more than a 1/32" (see Fig. 2, Ref. C). Any-
more or less may cause premature failure to
Flipper Assembly Components. If there is too
much up & down movement, refer back to the
above procedure steps & adjust accordingly.
Fig. 2 Note: Our current Flipper is shown (used from
Batman Forever through current). The old style flip-
pers did not have a hex nut.
