From the other room I heard, "Oh no, bad, bad, BAD". I shuddered, but when I ran up it wasn't a huge issue. One of the posts had gotten dislodged. It was unfortunately stripped. I tried a little Teflon tape to make the screw a tiny bit bigger, but that didn't really work and it's not a real solution anyway. I assume there is something I can fill this hole with so I can just screw it back in, but I'm not sure exactly what. Any advice?<img src="http://[URL=http://s1036.photobucket.com/user/OmegaDef/media/Getaway6_zps99db03be.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a444/OmegaDef/Getaway6_zps99db03be.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/URL][/IMG]As far as the kickout and the coil that operates it, I've done some investigating. Kevlar, it is indeed not firmly secured. It wobbles left and right a tiny bit if you mess with it. I'm not sure how to secure it tighter though as all of the screws around that area seem to tighten the mount but not the coil. Also, I'm not 100% sure about it's angle. I would expect it to be perfectly centered, but it's a little off. Hopefully the pictures convey that. As it stands the kickout sends the ball into the black rubber underneath the stoplight 9 times out of 10. It has the power, just not the exact angle. If it hit 1/4 inch to the left it would be perfect. In Kevlar's Getaway thread he mentioned that on a rare occasion the ball would drain down the middle, but then run back up the outlane triggering a save. For whatever reason when I do that, the kickback hits the tunnel 9 times out of 10. I'm not sure what that means, but I thought that could be useful information.Here's the photos. I realize it's hard to diagnose from a picture, but does anything seems obviously wrong or off to you guys?<img src="http://[URL=http://s1036.photobucket.com/user/OmegaDef/media/Getaway8_zps9895da24.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a444/OmegaDef/Getaway8_zps9895da24.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/URL][/IMG]<img src="http://[URL=http://s1036.photobucket.com/user/OmegaDef/media/Getaway7_zps40648f88.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1036.photobucket.com/albums/a444/OmegaDef/Getaway7_zps40648f88.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[/URL][/IMG]</blockquote>
