[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 8964, member: 152"] Could be, although if it were my machine I'd first look at the condition of the rubber on the flippers. If the rubber is old and soft, the ball may just slide down the flipper into the drain rather than bouncing to the left. That's the other difference between TPA and real tables - if something works in TPA, it almost always works all the time. For example, in Arabian Nights, you can hold the right flipper up and the eject from the Bazaar scoop will land in a perfect trap (after some bouncing) every time. On the real TotAN near me, that is by no means guaranteed - sometimes it works, sometimes the right sling brushes it and fires it off into the left outlane. [/QUOTE]
