Playfield supports angles

[newdos]

Hi Guys,

Bit of help required here. Here are a shot of my playfield supports on the fishtales which are bent at approx. 25 degrees



and the second shot is my white water ones which are bent at approx. 5 degrees - Which is correct if any and how should they be ??



Cheers Kev

I don't think it matters as they don't really do anything.

thought they ran along the two plywood supports on the side of the cab when you drag the playfield out ????

Think they are supposed to be straight.

No the playfield slides on its rails, I think they're only there to absorb energy if it drops off...

They are there to help take the playfield out. They support the playfield when you are taking out from the machine.
They start of around 10 degrees but with the weight of the playfield it bends them a little more.

can always bend them straight in a vice,tho not too bad as they are

They need to have a slight bend. Don't bend them straight.

 

[Poibug]

meant straighter where it meets the playfield

exactly what i did with mine - the pf used to be sat on the wooden rails when raising, and it really screws them up (along with massive gauges down the sides of the cab...)
