I've got a BOP on loan at the moment and one thing I've noticed is the wire gate is missing just below the spinner. Looking at the pinball arcade version of BOP it seems to be half the width of the lane from the pops which I believe is there to push the ball to the right thus routing it to the right flipper rather than SDTM. Am I correct in thinking that's what it's there for because I am getting a lot of SDTM at the moment without it, and yes I have levelled the playfield.

Also is there supposed to be a switch on that gate for activating a sound effect?

Cheers

Thanks abaxas, I assume the wire does move the ball right then as with no switch it cant have any other use.
 
TBH it's missing on mine too.

If you find a replacement, can you post a link?
 
Lol, sure will if I do. The robots boob flashers are also missing. Any chance you can take a good photo of how they are fitted so i can try and locate whatever is needed?
 
I'll get a photo done later on.... think I've got a bit of a broken plastic there too, so might not be 100%
 
Does my old shop log on here have any pics of that?

The wire is supposed to stop sdtm drains. The sound effect comes from the spinner.
In sure you could make one easy enough if you can't find one.
 
Cheers Gaz, I will make one if I can't find one. I was after photos of the flashers more than this wire. Just which type of socket fitted but I think I've worked it out.
