Extra wide post rubber: It's worth checking the width of the post rubber at the Hidden Tomb shot to the left of the center ramp. In Tournament play it is common to put wider than standard rubber on these posts to make this shot narrower, therefore more draingerous. It will be obvious if the rubber is restricting the width of the entrance to the lane.
Magna-Save buttons: There is an additional set of flipper buttons that activate the Magna-Save magnet above and toward the inside of the outlanes on their respective sides.
Complete 2 sets of drop targets to qualify saucers for lock, lock a ball for MB. If you can comfortably make the Hidden Tomb lane, use this to go up top every time and collect the hurry-up at the captive ball from the ball feed to the upper left flipper. Good scoring is available by completing drop targets in either playfield.
On the plunge the ball will enter the upper playfield, work the drop target banks on the way to getting ball locks.
