# RaM Inner Loop Adjust **Source:** Spooky Pinball **Type:** video **Published:** 2020-02-26 **Duration:** 0m 57s **Beat:** Pinball **URL:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyCeY3xxwi8 --- ## Analysis Spooky Pinball technician provides maintenance and adjustment guidance for Rick and Morty pinball machine's inner orbit and flipper mechanics. The video covers common issues like ball bricking after the spinner, flipper positioning relative to ball guides, and flipper angle adjustments to improve shot consistency and smoothness. ### Key Claims - [HIGH] Lifting the inner orbit contact point slightly can reduce ball bricking and improve smoothness through the shot — _Spooky technician demonstrating physical adjustment on Rick and Morty machine_ - [HIGH] Flipper resting position should be spaced approximately 1/8 to 3/16 inch away from the ball guide to improve shot consistency — _Spooky technician providing specific measurement guidance during adjustment demonstration_ - [HIGH] Adjusting lower flipper height can improve success rate on right ramp shots — _Spooky technician noting that flipper angle adjustments enable consistent ramp shots_ ### Notable Quotes > "If it's bricking right after that spinner, a lot of times you just need a little bit of a lift up. And you can, it'll contact the ball a lot higher, it'll be a little bit smoother through there." > — **Spooky Pinball technician**, early > _Addresses a common mechanical failure mode (ball bricking) and provides straightforward fix_ > "You can actually see it's an angle sort of backwards.

Tone is helpful and professional. ### Signals - **[operational_signal]** Spooky Pinball provides operator-focused maintenance instructions addressing common mechanical issues on Rick and Morty, suggesting the game has identifiable tuning requirements in the field. (confidence: high) — Video demonstrates specific adjustments for inner orbit bricking, flipper positioning, and shot consistency - **[product_concern]** Rick and Morty appears to have flipper angle sensitivity and inner orbit consistency issues that require field adjustment and technician intervention to achieve smooth play. (confidence: medium) — Multiple adjustment scenarios described (ball bricking, flipper contact with ball guide, inconsistent ramp shots) suggest mechanical variability that needs tuning post-installation - **[gameplay_signal]** Shot success on Rick and Morty is heavily dependent on precise flipper angle calibration; designer intent appears to require careful operator setup for optimal playability. (confidence: high) — Technician emphasizes that 'a lot of the shots in this game just play around your flipper angles' and that adjustment enables consistent shot execution --- ## Transcript Alright guys, a couple of quick little adjustments on the left orbit on Rick and Morty. If it's bricking right after that spinner, a lot of times you just need a little bit of a lift up. And you can, it'll contact the ball a lot higher, it'll be a little bit smoother through there. If it's hitting it too low, it can sometimes throw the ball off a little bit when it goes through there. Also, the main one that I do is this flipper down here. A lot of times it's sitting tight back against the metal ball guide. You can actually see it's an angle sort of backwards. If you bring it out so that the resting position is more straight with the ball guide like that Maybe an eighth of an inch or 3/16 away from that ball guide. Sometimes that'll make the shot a lot smoother. So play around with your angles there. Same thing with these lower flippers down here. Sometimes if you you should be able to back in that right ramp if you can't, a lot of times just adjusting the flipper up a little bit higher you'll be able to nail it every time. So a lot of the shots in this game just play around your flipper angles and you'll be able to get it dialed in where it shoots real good for you. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: f8cfe6dc-89f7-49a1-a2e8-82e3e43b9924*
