Protruding flipper alignment pin/marker thing

[Monkeyboypaul]

any low risk suggestions for knocking this little thing back into the play field?



It’s sticking up 1mm or so, right in the way of the TZ Camera shot, and gets in the way of the ball.

As in ‘hit it down with an upside down screwdriver’?

I presume you have a 1/4” socket driver Paul ? They are usually convex on the end. I use that to tap anything on the playfield.

So hit it down with the metal end of something flat/blunt-ish...

If it has a gentle curve then yes. I’d avoid anything flat.

Make sure whatever you use doesn’t fit inside the metal tube as it will spread the metal and split the playfield
Sorry for the egg sucking lesson if that was obvious

The Roll-pin was too long to be knocked in/down as it was pushing up against the underside of the Flipper plate.

...so removed the Flipper plate and pulled it through with pliers.

No bump now

Looks like all the flipper alignment pins are the same i.e. too long. Will do the same as i rebuild each flipper.
