SUBJECT
Correcting the pitch/level of pinball tables
PROBLEM
Setting the correct pitch of a pinball table is time
consuming and difficult. Obviously, a correctly
set table will receive more play, and therefore,
more income as well as a better playing game.
The game designers try to eliminate dead spots,
and correct pitch/level of a table will play as the
designers had originally intended it to.
SOLUTION
1. Waste a lot of time in achieving the proper set
up, or, 2. Do it easy, like this: The Quick & Dirty
Inclinometer - Here is how it's done.
NOTE
Before performing the levelling procedure, be
sure to check for playfleld warpage. Simply
place the level on its side and drag the length of
the table.
(No need to properly level a game if the playfleld
is not true!) Now, it's coffee time - see ya later.
