    I slipped the okd damged plexiglass back in (also1/8”) and it played better with few stuck balls. I will try to get a piece of 1/4” cut tomorrow.

    A piece of glass next to the play field will make the "Pachinko" Sound . You can put lexan or plexyglass in the slot next to the player .

    Bravo Brava on the restoration

    I've also found that using glass next to the playfield helps reduce the number of "stuck" balls because it's less flexible than plexi, therefore the balls bounce back in to play.

    I could not get a piece of 1/4" plexi, so I ran up to my buddy's glass shop and got a 1/4" piece of glass. I will give it a shot tonight.
