Purpose of a particular nail

[rubberratt]

Track flex seems logical, especially considering it's position.

On the two coin-op machines the track touches the top wood but there is a nail to the right of the curve, one has the sleve and the other doesn't. They are both close but not touching the track, I think they are in a good position to bend down to control track flex.

Hmmmm... me thinks Jeff thinks more with a few beers in him!

Nice analysis regardless!

Fun to see that my "stupid" questions seem to be of interest.

I suspect it's for the track flex problem too. But if so, this mean this nail is really important and would need some tune up too I suppose...

it just goes to prove that there is no such thing as a dumb question.

maybe it's just there for symmetry, or to complete the balance or feng shway or something

This is the lucky pin !!! and I removed it!!! mixed it with the other 250 pins while cleaning! oh my god now I don't know which one it was.

what will happy if I put the bad luck pin in the top now??

humm someone brave enough to try their machine with, and without the top pin? To see if any doom or curse happen??

I just watched a Japanese movie called Kokurri-San yesterday, kinda the Ouija board, Japanese style.. Now Mudfud bring that out.. I'm starting to be scared

heheh I'm kidding.. except for the part that all the nails are mixed and I don't know the original placement of each one. And Kokurri-San...
