You shouldn't really be using the prop rods, IMO.
I've played this game and actually enjoyed it.
Ken Layton:
This machine has a lightweight playfield. I need a prop rod when working on the flippers and this machine certainly needs a prop rod. I can't pack a step ladder around with me plus I get dizzy standing on ladders and have fallen off the ladder a few times.
The only machine I would advise never to use the prop rod is Twilight Zone. The playfield is so heavy (especially at the prop rod hole in the playfield) that I've seen the playfield nearly snap in half under it's own weight.

Properly working flippers need servicing so little I would have to be of the opinion it is what it is, and to the heck with the poor shlub who has to work on it ....However, in the interest of making it something it is not, Well, It would be a big job after the fact (to do it correctly) That divot was milled before assy. so removal of the playfield and elaborate jigs would be in your future (not to mention disassembly of the ball guide and associated hardware).... It does seem to have a Williams overtone and possibly a slide rail system could be added without much fanfare but the cost/time would far outweigh the benefits. (IMHO).
Ken Layton:
From what I heard from the owner of this Dominos machine, it's only a year old and the flippers broke 6 months ago. They tried to fix the flippers themselves and ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- it up. After letting the machine sit broken for another 6 months, they decided to bring it to me for proper repairs.

6 months? No warranty?
