Hoping someone can help here. I have an RFM which I have recently purchased, having never owned one before. On several occasions when I have been playing a game, when I go for either of the outer loops on the right hand side and the ball travels rapidly around the loop to exit on the outside left loop, it then goes straight down through the middle of the flippers. No matter what I do or how I position the flippers, the ball goes straight down through the middle and is lost This never happens when I shoot the opposite side as the ball always comes down and gives you the chance to catch it if you position the flippers correctly.
Having looked at the yellow post rubbers on each side, it appears I have a much larger one fitted on the left where the ball exits as opposed to the one on the right hand side and I am wondering if this is something that has been fitted by a previous owner and it is affecting the path of the ball? It is really frustrating when it does this as there is nothing you can do to stop it and it doesnt really seem like it should be necessary to input major nudge for what is the output of a standard shot.
I hope the above description makes sense. So, if possible, could someone check their RFM and see if they are different sizes on each side of your machine? When I look at the steel outer side of the loop where the ball exits, it looks like this part is sitting out slightly, caused by the larger left hand rubber. Maybe I am way off and they are all like this.....
I have levelled the table several times in case this was the issue.....makes no difference. Hopefully you can see the difference in the diameter of the rubbers in the pics.....
