Gottlieb Genesis questions

(1/3) > >>

grbgemen:
Just got a Gottlieb Genesis today and have a few questions.  Already posted on KLOV and thought i would post here also.  First of all, the flippers seem really powerful.  i mean the ball is getting airborne quite a bit.  like when it hits a post, it will jump up and hit the glass.  other times it will jump up above the plastics.  is this normal?

i did notice the center glass( or plexi?) is not exactly flush with the play field.  i removed the screws and tried to remove it but its stuck down.  almost feels like its glued.  im afraid im going to break it and there is a slight crack near one of the screw holes.

i dont think the above is causing all the problems as it seems that the ball is jumping after it passes the center glass.  its probably not helping though.

ChadTower:

Hrm... you might want to check the coils.  If they have the original wrappers on them they'll have part numbers.  Check that against the manual to make sure you have the right coils. 

Genesis is a game that gets crapped on a lot in the pin collector community.  I really like it, though, and would like to have one if I could find one locally.

i will check the coils when i get home.  any idea how to get the glass up?  does anyone make a replacement in case i do break it?

ChadTower:

Open coin door.  Lever under the lockdown bar releases the lockdown bar for removal.  Slide glass out after removing lockdown bar.

The playfield glass is just tempered glass.  You can get it any glass shop.  Best bet, though, is to not break the one you have.  It makes millions of sharp pieces that can scratch the crap out of your playfield and it's impossible to find them all.

no i mean the glass that is actually on the play field.  there is a triangle piece that covers the robot underneath the play field.  i already got the main pinball glass off and have removed the screws from the piece im talking about.  its like its stuck or glued.
