    Default Sagging Hinges

    One thing I noticed (and not surprised) about my Pachinko machine that the hinges are sagging:

    I thought it was important to shim this up, so I dug through my scrap metal bucket and came up a piece of 1/4" thick angle iron. I cut and fitted a piece (had to cut an angle slice to fit under the shooting mechanism):

    Nothing attaching the shim to the case except friction. Not really noticeable from the outside either.
