I finally got my High Speed put back together. The playfield touchups are ugly, but I had to admit defeat and move on. If it ever really bothers me, I will sell it and buy one in better condition, or buy a repro playfield when they come out.
In the meantime though, I want this thing to play really well. I have the switches adjusted so everything is really responsive, but the shots don't line up like I remember. It is really hard to get the ball to roll down the wall to line up a ramp shot. The shortcut bounces off the wall a bit putting it out of reach of the flipper. I remember the kicker shooting the ball up above the flipper, then it rolled back down for a perfect ramp shot. Mine usually sends it up hard enough so it loops around and hits the jet bumpers. Am I just remembering it wrong, or are there adjustments I can make to get everything lined up. This machine played really slow when I got it and the switches were all out of adjustment. So, I haven't played a nicely tuned one for many years - my memory could be off.
Any guidance would be really appreciated. Are there any High Speed gurus here?
Thanks,
Paul
