Quoted from insight75:Based on reading the above posts.....is there really a way to change the songs?
Yes, search the forum for pinball browser.
There's a few threads on it I think.

Does anyone have an issue on the ball not loading fully into the cannon? It will go down the ramp and enter the cannon, but not enough to trigger it. Usually have to wait for it to do a ball search where it fires it back out on the playfield.
This happens one every 10-15 times. I thought I remember reading about others having an issue. I'm wondering if it's a speed issue coming from the ramp as the cannon does seem to be lined up well with the ramp.
hi fan acdc,

This was an issue when it was released.
I solved mine by lifting the ramp edge up by cutting a small piece of plastic tube and sitting it on top of the screw at the rhs of the rock targets and wedging it under the ramp. Effectively lifting the edge of the ramp up just enough to let the ball fall a little quicker into the cannon.

Quoted from Lermods:Joined the club last weekend...this seems like its one of the best games ever made! Great shots, lightshow, sounds, rules, theme, etc., etc.

Jealous!!!
I put the bell hole cliffy in, what a pain in the ass, hardest cliffy I've ever installed. By comparison, took me 5 mins to put the TZ slot scoop cliffy in. My god, the left ramp basically has to come out along with disconnecting 7-8 connectors. I took the lower playfield out to clean it and that was a walk in the park compared to the bell hole. But it's in, looks great, and I'll never have to go there again!
Quoted from Grinder901:Jealous!!!
Yup. He bought mine, which could have been yours last year!

Always nice to see one of my custom Juke Box plastics all lit up. 
Thanks for posting.
Quoted from Gov:I finally broke down and ordered the Pinbits lightning bolt flashers today. Excited to get them installed. I got tired of the bulbs constantly falling out of the factory flasher sockets.
You will not be disappointed.
Put a bit of loctite on the fixing screws. One of them is at a bitch angle to keep retightening.

I just got in with the deck that Mezel Mods used to create their mods with. They were nice enough to leave them on for me!
Just joined the club. Love ACDC, the band, for years and now I love the pin also. Can't believe I own one really.

I just picked up an ACDC Premium. I know, I did Helen and never had the game. It's bone stock, so starting to slowly mod it. Got the Pinbits lighting bolts yesterday, will install them tonight, and the Mezel bell cover. I sanded and primed and repainted that, wasn't happy with the shiny 3D printed look.
FYI, my Helen project is closed down if you missed it, but I have 5 translites left in stock. These will be the last I ever sell, so if anyone wants one shoot me a PM.
Now that I have the machine I might have to think about some new mods for it. Definitely some areas that could use improving. 
AC/DC made me a pinball hoarder.....Its such a good machine I recently bought a second one (Luci) for a future summer home....
Quoted from StormyX73:Looking forward to seeing what you dream up Aurich!
I have your Helen translite and it makes the machine look so much better.
Thanks man. We'll, probably be a little bit before I have the time, but I'll use that time to ponder ideas.

Question on settings. I hooked up a external sub (polk audio PSW10) today and ended up disconnecting the internal woofer because it was too much bass overall.
What are your favorite settings on the music level in the game adjustments? How about the music and speech levels in the feature adjustments?
Quoted from Kkuoppamaki:Too much bass?? There's such a thing??
Yep. I had a FF system installed and added the Polk subwoofer. It's a little too much. The walls shake...which would be good, but it almost sounds like one of those cars driving by playing hip-hop, and ALL you can hear is the overblown bass.
Wow am I loving this game. I'm not even scratching the surface yet.
I have a question, when shooting the left orbit, what decides whether or not the ball will do the full orbit or stop at the lanes?it seems mine was never doing a full loop and now that I had the playfield up and took off the lower playfield to clean and add superbands it always makes the full loop. Is this just coincidence?
Also on a more cosmetic note, has anyone tried to make some type of decals or I guess partial decals for the lower playfield th make the eyes and mouth a little more realistic and devilish?

Depends on the song that's playing.
Whole Lotta Rosie, and You Shook Me All Night Long, for example -they force the ball through the lanes, into the bumpers.

Haven't seen anything like that yet. Don't believe it has been done.

There is something up with the gates at the back of the loop. Check in a coil test that they are working.

Combo shots should always make the full loop.. Sometimes weaker or not clean shots can rattle around and not make it by the control gate n fall into the Pops.

So which provides the better sound experience...
Polk external sub with no FF upgrade, or FF upgrade with no external sub?
Quoted from RTS:So which provides the better sound experience...

For me, the perfect combo for ACDC is FF speakers in the backbox and Polk external sub, with the internal sub not in the picture at all.

I actually loved the upgrade to the FF speakers. LOTS of bass upgrade there...and he sends you rattle tape for the glass, so what does that tell you?
So I bought cliffys for my game so I can keep it mint. Did the bell one no issues, took the plastic of the jukebox hole and found this from the factory. WTF! Do I leave it or try and fix it? I'm afraid to touch it and have it be an issue later but not sure if it will be anyways
Not happy
ACDC has rose to the top to be my favorite game of all time over IM and ST. The only game where I yell after I hit a big jackpot or get an extra ball or after Steve yells "Smokin!" after I nail a bunch of combos.
The most satisfying shots in pinball I have ever had was during multiball when I loaded the cannon for a 2x or more big jackpot shot and cradled the other 2 balls, one on each flipper and lowered my chin to hit the fire button for the Jackpot! Done it twice so far and nothing compares. Best game ever.

Quoted from Eskaybee:Im in the Prem club for a 1 1/2 years. I still remember when I first got the machine and thought I had a flakey switch for the longest time and was getting frustrated trying to find it and couldn't! it seemed so erratic; oddest behavior I ever saw in a pin.
Then, my wife took this pic...

Mystery solved!
I LOVE this picture!
When my kids were babies - when they were tired and cranky babies - AC/DC always put them to sleep!
Really funny he was stomping your switch! LOL
Going to pickup my premium after work tomorrow!
This is one of my 'grail' pins so I'm super excited to join the club!!

Congrats on finding one. It took me a little while to get rolling on it, but after it "clicked" there was no turning back for me.
