Yeah, I am having that issue (it’s pretty common from what I hear).
What did you do to adjust the switch? Could you provide some pictures?
Does it not come down that far once adjusted?
Game is closed up now. I'll check of I have any pictures.
Look under the playfield and the ramp motor operates with an egg shaped crank that hits two switches. I haven't adjusted them but I assume these turn the motor off at the expected up or down angle.
Easy enough to test. Adjust the down switch to stop the motor earlier. Maybe put some paper between the playfield and ramp when down and adjust.

Thanks, I will take a look
I am about half way through fitting my UV Kit today (what a faff that is!) and I am having a little issue with one of the plastics. It’s the top right plastic with the newspapers.
It doesn’t appear to align with the playfield and looks a little off. Both non-UV and UV plastics are identical, but after being removed neither seem to align properly. I stupidly forgot to take pictures before I removed, so did anyone else have this issue?

I didn't take any during the strip.

Can you adjust the metal rail? Loosen the boot and move and tighten.
Only do that if you think they're off though!

It was a total nightmare installing the UV kit. I knackered the thread on one of the bolts for the right ramp UV fixture.

That gives me hope!
No issues so far (plastic alignment sorted!) but my wife looked at me like I had 3 heads when I started dismantling a Brand New machine!
Someone face swapped the cast of Stranger Things with Ghostbusters and it's freaking me out - Ghostbusters News
The episode of Stranger Things where Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will decide to become Ghostbusters for Halloween has forever linked the two popular franchises together.

That goes behind the hinge

It’s getting powdercoated. Not related to the UV Kit fitting, but doing it all whilst it is out of action.

You need to re-tap the threads on them, as i mentioned above before installing them, otherwise you can strip the screws.
Luckily though i have a load of #6 1/4 bolts with shaker proof washer on route form the USA, so will be adding to my list of bolts soon.
I used these from amazon for the taps
