Never use upper flipper on mission 1! If you hit ramp or train you are giving up your spinner strafe value you built up in the power plant, and the mystery, and the chance to do the left bank of tank targets for 2 mil each!
I have never understood what the woman's voice says that is heard at the start of the game (0:03) and when throwing the third ball after blocking the first two (1:11). I've always wanted to know.
Hi we recently got operation thunder pinball machine but we have no manual or instructions. it seems to run fine but I'm sure the ball travels a lot slower than yours. i don't suppose you have the information of how it should be levelled correctly/ set up angle? thanks
Hi, just came across this video now but if your still wondering about playfield angle it is generally 6.5 degrees incline. Check this site for a manual: www.pbresource.com as it is a licensed Gottlieb site. I own 5 pinball machines myself and none of them have stated a different incline in any of their manuals but various forums state the 6.5 degrees as the norm. if you want it to play faster bump it to 7 but it might upset the way the shots work as well as speeding it up. Also if it plays to fast you may damage plastics ect... on the playfield. Not sure on this machine but some pinballs also allow you to set the power of the flippers in the operator menus. I hope this is of some help 🙂
Recently played this at my aunts house in North Carolina. Haven’t played it since before they moved from New York
