Tales of massive pinball stupidity and laziness here
Matt borrowed a few machine for the LPC earlier in the year and at the event the crane on my LAH started playing up. Got the machines back and they pretty much just sat in my back room waiting to have time to set them back up.
Eventually got them all set up again a few days before my meet. At the time both LAH and ID4 looked a bit weird but really didn't have time to check why. Wondered if I got someone else's legs back from the LPC but felt I could live with it for the time being.
Anyway, I've been playing around with the LAH for the last few weeks adjusting switches and generally farting around with the crane trying to get it to work properly while ignoring the leg issue as I couldn't face the effort of changing them.
Eventually the penny dropped that I simply had to swap the front legs on the two machines across and both should then be at the right height. 15 mins later, hey presto, two machines at the right height, Turned LAH back on and the crane issue is now totally solved. Guess the angle wasn't allowing a switch to register correctly.
Moral of the story? Laziness has meant that two machines were pretty much unplayable for 3 months for the sake of a simple leg change - doh....
