You think you've got problems Zerhino - I live on the other side of the world 
I remember EMs having a fair angle and most older machines I have played have been set up too flat in my opinion. However, the angle is, of course, operator set. I suspect Tudnut and I just played them where the operator set the angle higher. I know that the angle varied by machine and the place you played them. Some machines were slow and slower than the VP versions. I tend to like to speed them up a bit as that's how I remember them. Especially the easy games were often set at a higher angle.
