Doctor Who Pinball Cam offset opto holder
The offset opto pair holders will increase/decrease height in the middle mushroom target position.
Moving the opto pair sideways will increase/decrease the middle height about 70%-80% of the off-set length.
Moving the opto pair 4mm will increase/decrease height about 3mm or ⅛”.
Moving the opto pair to the right side when seen from the player's view will increase the middle he-ight.
Height in the bottom and top position is barely affected, this can be calculated by the math formula r-(rcos(asin(offset/r)))
Ex 60-(60cos(asin(4/60)))=0.13348mm or 1/190”
Moving the optos is possible since only one half of the cam is used during game play.
Note that the height in test mode will be lowered by the same length in some positions, it will not affect height during game play though.
The optimal height between the mini playfield and the playfield at the middle level for the ball to hit center of the mushroom targets is 46mm or 13/16”.
