It's really a matter of playing around. I always bend mine level and out (right or left). On occasion I will bend up a little.

The best advice I can give is to open the door and start dropping balls by hand and see what they do and what they avoid. Then make changes. I only have one pocket that is obviously bent. All the rest, while adjusted slightly work better now and to my advatange, but are hardly noticeable.

You can bend them with your fingers, but they move right about the time you can't really take the pain anymore, so you might use a tool.

Arbycoffee being a tatto artist probably can take the pain.... :lol:

nethhippy uses a small socket over the nail, it gives you more leverage and doesn't damage nail or board.

the pins on payout pockets should be bent out slightly to give you an advantage. :lol:

Here how to adjust your nails, same technique as the new machines.

The thread :

gets those 12 pages from the book "Winning Pachinko - The Game Of Japanese Pinball".

As far as I know there is no other source of information on that subject. But I would think that there would be some information available on Japanese websites?

I take a golf tee, with the round end on the nail. Next using slight taps with a hammer, bend the nails to the desired location. The golf tee with it's concave end makes for a stable base against the nail.

Do you know how hard it is to buy just one Tee ? Everyone wants to sell you a whole package of them. You tell them no just one, not to play golf withÂ…
Â…than you explaine the reason you want only one. I should have bought a whole bag!

I'd have sold you just one, Arby. Shipping woulda been a killer, though. :lol:
