[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 294983, member: 134"] Sihumchai, this is a very common problem with pins on location. More than likely, some operator has put it on site and the location employees have no part in keeping it functional. If by chance they do have the keys and the glass can be removed, check that slope (is 6.5 degrees still the norm?) and see if they’ll let you wipe down the play field. While at it, check the rubber on the flippers and slingshots to see if they are hard and cracked. If you are able to get a conversation going with who operates the machine, ask them to show the play count stats. If it seems you are the primary customer, you might be able to convince them to get it off tournament settings and into a form that might attract others to play it. Should that prove successful, the operator might be willing to pay for parts that need replacing. You might even convince them to install a second machine if coin drops are on the rise. [/QUOTE]
