Ok guys what is the optimum angle you have the playfield set
as, currently mine is set at 7.4 degree slope as I like it to play
a bit faster.

To achieve this I have removed the front leg levellers, if I have the front levellers fitted it plays so slow.
Making me wonder if the leg lengths are right or are the front legs supposed to be shorter than the rear ones can anyone tell me what their set up is.

You can fit whatever legs you want, I use shorter front legs on most of my machines to increase speed/difficulty, alternatively, if the front ends up too low, you can instead fit longer to the back
 
As Luke says, you can do whatever you want and tune it to your personal preference :) I leave the levellers in mine, have the front dropped as low as possible and the back cranked up as high as they go :thumbs:
 
Anyone tell me what size legs they have on back / front on their machines from the vector /fathom era

Think mine are all 28.5" too on PARAGON, VECTOR and GOLD BALL.

7.4 degrees seems rather aggressive to me! I have levellers all round and they're pretty even. I use the iPhone app and set it to 6.5 on mine, if I recall correctly.

These old games were never as fast as DMD or modern games. I think the skills are a bit more subtle and less about reaction time. More nudging.

I am however a pretty mediocre player and far better at fixing pins ;) Don't listen to anything I say and play your pins however you see fit! :D
 
Thanks @Nedreud confirms my legs are the right ones for the game will tinker with the slope angle using the app on my phone
