The "I just beat my high score" thread

I think you physically remove the outlane post and put it in a lower position.

I'll have a closer look but I've never noticed any alternative holes when I've removed the posts to clean and re-rubber.
I think there should be from what I can see in these two pictures (assuming Fish Tales).
If you look at the top of the outlanes on both sides there is a star post with a screw in the top.

Here it shows it stripped and there is an elongated hole.

Check underneath if there is any retaining nut but you should see three positions.

Were they? I thought they were the McFarlen ones
I'm sure I've seen a Stern factory tour where they said they just used figures from McDonalds Happy Meals.
Shrek Pinball one's are Mucky Dee's for sure. As for any other titles who knows.

Thanks for taking the effort to post that. I might make some adjustment then - my FT is an outlane magnet and my highest score is only 400M.

Yeah, it took ages!
WH2O - been after that elusive vacation jackpot ever since I got the machine in January and have resisted changing the settings to make it easier - finally nailed it and had just started 5x playfield too. Bit disappointed it didn't give me the 5x on the VJ but still, tidy score if I do say so myself.
Very nice Mark, great score. It really is gutting when you don't get that VJ at 5x on the very rare occasions that you do get them lined up, at least you do get the 5x multiball straight away after. Great game

Very nice indeed, Mr Potter. about three times more than i ever got on a White Water
i got my new hiscore on Congo today - loving this game.
i'm also pleased to see that Jeremy Clarkson on the backglass seems to approve.
Congo Bongo is fun, I had loan of one for a while. Sweet playfield layout. The volcano spewing out balls for multiball start is awesome.
Great score on the wh20 there Mark and congrats on nailing the Vacation jackpot. Its pretty good when you get that "I broke it feeling".
As for getting 5x VJ well the less said on that the better, intro Lee Buck.

Now living at Special When Lit...
I first saw/scored the vacation jackpot on WhiteWater while trying it out after delivery to a site. As it blanked out before seemingly going berserk, I certainly got that feeling. Made worse by the fact that I'd just shopped it.
Just got 169M on Xmen and completed all heroes
. Unfortunately no Danger Room lit despite doing all heroes

god my highest score on the shadow is pretty poo against you lot 580.000.000 20 mil away from going on the highscore board
Feel the force.
Keep on with it and you will get there. On the high scores that is.
All that comes in time, and how much you want to save the ball.

Just got my first ever SU-PER JACK-POT on FT. Only managed to hit it once though before SDTM.
Faaaaaaaaaaack!!!
I still suck at my R&B. It's on the easiest setting and yet still my scores are abysmal.
Me and the wife have got a challenge on the go to see who can get on the leaderboard first. Once I can actually muster some descent scores I might think about changing the difficulty.
Yesterday though I did manage to attain my highest score yet - 323M - only 30M shy of the 350M needed to get the bottom place on the leaderboard. So far as I can make out it's a nightmare to get a high-scoring game on this as there aren't many shots which yield high points. From memory the best point scoring can be had from saving Nell (25M) or grabbing Bullwinkles Treasure (100M) during multiball. So it's pretty much a case of rinsing those two and making sure the ball doesn't drain. Which in itself seems to be an art because the slingshots have a really nasty habit of flinging the ball down the right lane.
I think I need to get a little more agressive with the table in a bid to keep the ball in play.

Pictures or it didn't happen
I'll grab a piccy next time I'm there
I've had Earthshaker in my collection for a year now and cos I'm so **** I've never been able to make the score board!!
Until today (says in Hollywood movie trailer voice!!)
I watched that vid Grizz posted earlier and I got all inspired to play. I went in to the den and turned on one machine............................... Earthshaker.
Stuck 20 million on it, no messing about, straight in to the number 3 spot. Bosh!!
Still 10 mill off the grand champ though!!
Love this game. Something about Earthshaker you can have massively long ball times.
