Deadworld crane hits the cabinet and locked balls sit unevenly: tune crane and ring

Steps

• If the crane arm strikes the cabinet, sand a very small amount off its plastic spacer so it clears.
• Check the crane's rear set screw; if loose, align the crane and tighten it.
• Check that the planet ring is level once mounted: the ring itself is flat, but a bent mounting leg pulls it out of shape.
• Carefully bend the three mounting legs until every locked ball sits at the same height under the crane magnet, so the magnet can pick each one.
