whats best o level a pintable

[glyn davies]

im trying to level my tz im using my iphone using ihandy level

on testing the pitch it saying its 6.5 at the bottom and 5.6 at the top

what does it need to read 6.5 all way down ?

 

[pinballmania]

A perfectly flat playfield.

Or a spirit level over the length of the playfield reading the average pitch.

I really should take a proper spirit level out to mine :redface:

 

[glyn davies]

ok ive leveled it using my iphone -0.1 across avarage pitch 6.2 front legs have no more adjustment and back one are nearly at top

 

[Spandangler]

Hasn't TZ got a true pitch bubble next to the shooter lane? If so just adjust it until the top of the bubble touches the second line (I think from memory!!)

 

[glyn davies]

yea it has but when tip of bubble on 2nd line it plays rubbish at the moment the tip is just after the secound line

I was taught (by Stan S and Nick M) that the best vertical 'levelling' you can do to improve speed and reflexes is front legs all the way down and back legs all the way up. That way you should never come across one that plays faster than the one at home, even if everything else is different

You can do a lot worse than listening to advice from a couple of players in the world top 100


Dylan (11 months) agrees

Glyn,
When you say it is playing really bad, how do you mean? Sometines i get a stinker of a game on mine and want to hit it with a hammer and on the other side of the coin, last night i got my first LITZ with a top score of 856 mill!
What exactly is it doing?
Cheers Adie

My TAF was transformed and much more fun after taking Stans advice.

I agree it's like playing in slow motion, you almost have time to go make a cuppa between shots! If you like it fast try it with the bubble touching the 4th or 5th line and see what you think.

when it was playing rubbish the ball just used to bounch around the flipper area and 9-10 times it used to drain or go down middle it whould come out of the jet bumpers go down middle it whould come out of the mini playfield not hit any bumpers go down middle or come out of rocket miss the hitchhicker then go down right drain or then it whould bounch alond to of the left side then drain

Glyn,
You need to have a go of mine or me have a play on yours. Some of those things sound like pretty normal traits of a TZ.
Give me a call sometime on 07885 982917, some people just can't get along with a TZ i'm not saying you can't but it is another possibility.
Cheers Adie

I think you might be telling us it drains a lot ? :eyebrows:
Unless I am mistaken.
