Not sure if this is meant to happen on this machine.....but sometimes when I'm playing the ball just catches and no more on Wolverines claw and it makes it go straight down the middle. Same thing sometimes when balls com from the ball lock as they just glance off the other arm and then go straight down the middle. It drives me nuts.

Has anyone else had the same issue? It doesn't happen all the time, but it makes me think the figure needs to be raised slightly (either that or Wolverine gets his claws clipped for Xmas!) Pic attached of the area I'm talking about. It doesn't stop the balls dead during play (it just diverts them straight down the middle), so I have rested them in position to demonstrate.

Look forward to your thoughts. Machine is mint so don't want to mess with it if this is normal.

Thats good to know, thanks for that. I've had a check under the playfield and it all seems tight. I might look at taking him off to see if I can shim him up somehow. If not it's dremmel time!
 
Yeah the one on site I used to play had a habit of doing this, i kept having to report it to get them to adjust

worked fine for a few months then started again...
 
I'm glad I finally asked you guys on here. I get the feeling once I fix this I will enjoy the game a whole lot more.

I can't believe the difference in my RFM since I changed that post sleeve (a question from another thread, also resolved with the help of the folks on here).

It seems these small things can make a big difference.
