Is anyone making cabinet decals these days? I recently grabbed an MM and plan to do a full restoration on it and was hoping to find some quality decals.

Thanks, when I went to PPS/Bay Area and searched under the game, I did not see decals. Marco didn't have them either. I will check out Mirco's.

Question for y'all, when my moat plunger ejects the ball it kind of comes out of the left lane like a stumbling drunk bumbling and bouncing all over the place. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's supposed to be like that or have more of a smooth roll. I honestly never got enough games in on another machine to have paid this much attention before.

Thank you so much. I kind of thought it was an adjustment issue. This game has seen some plays and I feel like everything is just a little rougher on it than other MM's I played. All that being said, I am just so happy to have one.

I am hoping to do a top side tear down in a few weeks. I just bought a couple of flipper rebuild kits and some other bits. I keep debating a PF swap, but I would need to find an original PF. I am not to keen on these newer PF's. I ended up with a MBr and with under 1500 the PF is dimpled beyond belief. Glas that I went with the original MM for sure now.

This I would love to grab one for when I do my PF teardown.

I am pretty sure you can just get some mylar for it.

I keep going back and forth as to wether or not I want to shop out my MM or do a full PF swap. I figured I would put some feelers out here to see if anyone had a NOS original PF they may be willing to part with. I am a little hesitant to go with a newer PF. I have not been impressed by the clear on the products I have seen.

I have the gate installed on mine and hit it pretty consistently. It's not an easy shot akin to the Creature shot on MB. The first thing I would do is check the angle of your flippers and make sure they are aligned correctly. Take the rubber off, put a toothpick in the hole, the bat should rest against it.

Edit: I would add make sure the gate is installed correctly and allows the shot entry versus blocking it.

Most of the castle parts are available at the usual suspects: Marco, PPS, Little Shop of Games, etc.

It's installed incorrectly.

I bought my MM in December and I have barely turned on another game since, including MB. It's all I want to play.

Hi Everyone, I should be finishing up with my PF swap/restoration this week. I'll have some parts that I'll be letting go of to help recoup some of my costs. Basically when I do a swap or top side tear down I replace everything on my machines even if the original stuff was ok.

My original and decent PF great for restoration or as is.
Ramps (not moat) good condition, I didn't see any cracks, etc, but will give closer inspection later on this week.
Plastics good condition, one inlane was broken and I bought a replacement that I never installed.

Cabinet decals. I bought them from a collector, they were missing the coin door decal. I wasn't happy with the quality, but might be a good deal for someone if you only need one side or head decals, etc

I figured I would post here first before making an ad.

Plastic.

What is this drop dead foam that you speak of?

Thank you.

That left hand side has a metal guide that goes around that curve/Joust loop and to the end of the PF instead of the black frame. I am away for the day so I can't take any pics for you, but here are some pics of stripped PF from my FS ad. If I remember to when I get home this evening I'll take a few more of my semi populated PF.

That's where a star post would go. I believe you remove it when you put the ball stop in.

Hi Everyone, after months of waiting for the replacement for the defective ramps I received I have my MM back together. I sent my wireforms out to be rebrassed and received a diff set back (per the course). The one that were sent to me are missing this bracket that the clear plastic affixes to in the photo. In addition the chute seems to be straight horizontal and thus shooting the ball into the back.

Can anyone look at theirs and tell me if yours curves down towards the plastic ramp at all, and also does anyone know if the wireforms for the MMr are different than our standards? I'm thinking I may have gotten a set of MMr forms back instead.

Perfect thank you!

I love it. Also why do they put the quote button so close to the downward vote button for the person beneath. Yeeesh.

It's been months since I finished off my PF swap, and I am only just now getting around to playing some games. Oh man, this is just nasty with the cleared PF. The ball spin and air balls are bonkers.

One area I am having some issues with is with the Merlin hole and multi ball. It announces "whatever" multi ball, but the balls are not being released from the trough. My DM did this and it was a bad trough PCB. It's clearly a breakdown in communication, I just wasn't sure where.

Also just now some wire guide thing just fell down from the castle area and now I can't shoot a ball through. Not sure what the heck it is, I'll have to look at the breakdown. I've never seen it before.

All in all not bad given a full swap.

Thank you! In the year I have owned it, it's never happened. I assumed it was part of the breakdown.

OK after many months of being away I am back to working out the bugs from my PF swap. I have two issues more issues that have arisen (one preexisting) that I was hoping folk could help me with.

Pre-existing: balls get trapped in between the Merlin hole and its front gate. The gate is one way and does not allow the ball to roll forward. Is this correct? If so is there anyway to fix this so I don't have to lift up the front of my cab to free the ball.

Post PF Swap: The catapult red target is almost impossible to hit now. I am guessing it's either the way I re-installed the metal brackets or that the catapult gate doesn't have enough clearance to allow the ball to roll freely in. A tough one to try to recreate to verify. Can anyone tell me if there are washers or anything under the gate.

Many thanks in advance.

OK, I hope these are my last two issues with this PF swap. As I mentioned above, I am having a difficult time hitting the red catapult target. I thought the wire gate was hitting the wireworm and not giving enough clearance, but that is not it. Maybe the post sleeve is too thick? t just hits that post and bangs off. My flippers are dialed in correctly.

My right ramp, repro is also not sitting correctly for the Damsel Save. It's as far off to the right as it can go, so I am at a loss. Has anyone else put in repro ramps and had this issue?

Thanks everyone. I'll have another look at the castle, I thought that was ok, given you could only really put it together one way.

I'll take some pics of that ball gate area again too. I candy tell you how much I appreciate your help and insight on this.

They are a PIA. I couldn't get mine in, I wrote and was told that you basically have to mangle them. At that point I gave up and tossed it in my parts bin. Good luck with it.
