The new CV at Arcade Club plays really nice, however the Ringmaster position is a bit off.

When its below the playfield its flush and where it should be. However when the head is up it sits too high although not high enough for a ball to go under and it does register hits. When its in the top position it looks ok.

Is there anyway to adjust this easily enough? I went through the test menu and its position was the same each time.

Thanks
 
You sure its too high? We were wondering about this at the setup and figured as long as it was registering hits and not dropping balls down when it shouldn't it was probably ok.

The concern was if we dropped it lower there was a bigger chance of hits bouncing up off the metal lower plate and damaging the plastic head itself.
 
I was getting quite a few bounce backs off the spring when it was in it's very top position as well (instead of going into the hole under the head). Never really seen that on other CV's I've played.
 
I always think the plate he sits on should be about flush with the playfield when in the normal above playfield position, strangely on mine (as well as its other faults) it will sit flush, then on its next cycle it sits slightly down, I also did not want to mess with the switches in fear of totally making a hash of it.
When raised bounce backs off the spring is normal, a slower ball or a fast ball going behind him is a surer ringmaster defeat.
