MAIN RIGHT STEEL RAMP AND MAIN RIGHT STEEL RAMP CHUTE
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
1. Turn power switch OFF.
2. Raise the playfield. There is an access hole through which both the clock and ramp wiring extends.
Unplug the connector for the ramp optical switches.
3. Lower the playfield. Leave playfield in its most forward position for easier access to ramp screws.
4. Remove the phillips screw that holds the clock base to the piano scoop roof. Gently push back on
the clock and slide it about
1/2
inch backward. Lift up and the clock should be free.
5. Lay the clock on the playfield and remove the 2 nuts that hold the playfield plastic down in the area
of the clock. Remove the plastic.
6. Remove the phillips screw which holds the playfield plastic that is directly under the metal ramp.
Remove the plastic.
7. There should now be access to pull the optical switch harness for the ramp through the playfield.
Pull the harness through.
8. Remove the two #1 phillips screws that hold the ramp entry into the wood. Note that the screws DO
NOT hold down the flap. They are designed to hold the steel ramp in place. The flap should be
free and have a gentle arc from playfield to ramp.
9. There is a leg on the right side of the ramp. Remove the screw that holds this leg to the top of the 3
ball lock mechanism. On EARLY production units there is a
1/4
inch plastic spacer between the leg
and the lock roof. DO NOT LOOSE THE SPACER! Without the spacer there is insufficient pitch
(right to left) for the ball to roll towards the mini-power playfield.
10. Remove the screw that holds the wire chute to the left main ramp left entry post.
11. Carefully remove the E-ring that holds the diverter scoop to its pivot on the wire chute. Remove the
pivot pin. Tip the diverter scoop to remove it from the pull wire.
12. Remove the screw that holds the wire chute to the mini-playfield. It is located between the rails of
the chute at the mini-playfield entrance.
13. Remove the metal ramp and chute.
14. Note that the chute has a hook which locks into a hole located in the top of the metal ramp. Unhook
the chute from the ramp and slide them apart.
15. Replacement is the reverse of removal, being careful that the chute hook must go into the mating
hole on the ramp. Also be careful to replace the spacer (if necessary) in its proper location. Care
must also be taken NOT to catch the flap at the ramp entry under the screws.
NOTE! !!
EARLY GAMES HAD 3 WASHERS UNDER THE WIRE CHUTE ATTACHING LEG.
THESE ARE NOT NECESSARY ON REPLACEMENT WIRE FORMS! !! DO NOT RE-INSTALL
THESE 3 WASHERS AS THE LEG WAS MADE LONGER! ! !
