TECH: CFTBL hologram mirror alignment and hologram questions.



Just got a Creech. havent had a chance to play it yet but was testing
the hologram via the test menu and notice that the hologram only really
seems to turn to the right and then back to the centre and dosent
really seem to turn any left passed centre. When it is fully turned
right it seems to be too far as you can see the (distorted) left edge
of the hologram through the playfield window.

I know that the hologram is made to appear to be moving because of the
light reflecting from the mirror that turns right and left. is there
someway of adjusting this mirror so it turns further left and less
right or do i have a motor issue? The mech that turns the mirror does
not seem to be binding at all. there is also quite a bit of play in
these parts.

Please excuse me if the answer to the above is very obvious - I only
had a very short time to investigate.

Also...the left arm/hand of the creature (that reaches out) seems very
blurred and is hard to actually make up. The rest of the holo is nice
and sharp. Is this normal? Ive only ever played a couple of CFTBLs in
the past and both had blue blurred blobs for creatures.

One last question (for now). The small motor that actually bends the
hologram to give the impression of the arm moving - is this worth
having on? Does it really give off much of an effect? mine didnt seem
to really make much difference and im a little concerened that the
bending of the holo might be damaging it. Maybe the blurred arm/hand is
due to this?

Cant wait to actually get a game in on this...have to wait until Friday
evening!

TIA
