Dirty Harry Pinball Gun inlet cap

thingiverse

This part is designed to fit tightly over the circular inlet of the rotating gun toy from Dirty Harry Pinball by Williams. It's purpose is to mitigate the possibility for the ball to trickle out of the gun before it can be fired properly. This seems to occur if the ball has some spin / magnetism, or just rolls into the inlet in a particular way, or when you stare at it with a funny face. With this cap in place, the ball is forced to drop more directly and with less of a chance that it may land differently causing it to trickle out. In my empirical tests, I found that despite my best efforts to adjust the habitrail leading to the inlet, that the ball would trickly out about 1/20 times. With this part in place, the observation of this happening has been nil. Please let me know if this helps you also!
