Hello,

I'm trying to find out how the diverter blade behind the coffin should be
mounted. I took it off while taking out the main ramp but don't know how to
put it back
Currently when shooting the left ramp my ball is always going to the castle
so I assume something is wrong.

I looked around on the net and found different pictures where the blade is
in both directions... Please provide pictures of how it should be done and
how the beginning position is.

Thanks,

-Peter

there's a picture of the diverter in default position..

This is not a diverter which moves left/right but up and down !

Default it's in the up-position so a pinball can pass underneath it.
When the coil is activated the diverter is pulled down so it diverts
the ball.

I checked out the picture ; is the diverter touching the plastic of the
outside ramp in its upmost position ?

The edge of the diverter will be barely touching the outside/top edge
of the ramp when in the up position.

The smooth concave part of the diverter faces the left side of the
playfield.
The two bolts on the diverter go into the up/down post and are secures
with the small nits on the back. The bolted edge of the diverteer is on
the side of the ramp closest to the player with the other end pointing
toward the backbox.

Hope that helps,

How do you get the up/down post in the top position ?
When I pull it up it falls down again immediately...

you probably lost a spring ?

The blade is normally "up" in a resting position when the machine is
off - yes there should be a spring that holds it in the up position.
The coil pulls it down when it fires.

I think bay area amusements has these springs if I remember correctly.

That's a 10-399 Compression Spring

BAA does have these for 75 cents.

I checked the up/down post very closely and I think a little piece is
missing

Ref. BSD manual page 2-32 (A-16265 Up/Down Post Assembly)

The problem I have is that number 3 (A-16146) is not stuck anymore and falls
down. I noticed this piece has a small tube hole, I assume some little piece
of metal must be inserted there? Anyone knows what's needed to insert ?
