Quoted from NightTrain:Hey guys. Just got my Luci Vault and I’m having issues with the cannon. It’s loud and it hangs up/catches. I inspected and can’t find anything binding. See video. Any ideas? Should I reach out to stern and have them send me a new assembly?

Hard to tell from vid if it is rubbing against the plastic ball return... if so, unscrew the plastic ramp (see photo) and move it away from cannon.
Quoted from NightTrain:Ha! I was just coming back to post the fix. You are correct. That is exactly what was happening. I actually couldn’t adjust the ramp any more so I just gave it a little trim with an exacting knife. Looks perfect and plays great now. Good eye!
Good to hear it was an easy fix! I had the same issue.
My Luci arrived yesterday and so far my fixes have been really minor.
I'm getting a ball hangup on the top right rollover, the rubbers are wide and if the ball rests in the playfield cutout for the switch, it will just sit there. I've seen others post about this... maybe a cliffy lane switch will fix it?
Ball is also getting stuck under the cannon sometimes. I'm sure this is an easy one as well.
Ball was getting stuck behind the bell until I realized I simply needed to screw it in all the way.
All in all I'm very impressed with the quality control of this VE.
Quoted from 85vett:Can you post a pic of exactly where this is? If it's where I'm thinking it is, changing that 7/16 OD rubber with a 3/
D rubber will fix the problem. Friend of mine (luci as well) had a tight clearance their and that rubber was actually holding the ball in the lane on slow moving balls.
If it's hanging up with just clearcoat their then a cliffy wont fix that.
Sorry for the delay, here it is. Yep, I need to put a different rubber in there. Thanks!
My War Machine spinner is barely recognizing a solid shot up the left lane.
I noticed the metal spinning arm is resting on a screw that holds the bumper (to the right) in place. (See picture)
The metal arm that holds the spinner has a flat wear spot that causes the target to rest at an angle instead of straight up and down. (See picture) The ball will typically go right under without touching the target, sometimes it will brick off the front.
I have been messing around with adjustments and can't seem to find one that works. I tried loosening the screw and moving the bumper to the right, but it didn't help. I'm tempted to cut a few milimeters off the arm so it doesn't touch the screw.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction here.
Thanks,
Brad
Quoted from Eldritch:Had exact same issue on my NIB Luci VE. I removed the screw, and the spinner worked like it should. Noticed the arm was a little bent the last 3-4 mm. Causing it hit the screw. and making the spinner rest in an almost horizontal position.
I managed to straighten the arm using pliers. Now it's working like it should.
Thanks for all of the responses everyone! Sorry for the delay, I just returned home after being out of town for a few weeks.
Today I swapped with a flat screw and it didn't help.
Bending the arm was my next step... so I checked this thread and saw all the replies, including this one. I'll give it a shot!
Thanks
Quoted from Bearcat:We are upgrading to color DMD, recommend LCD or LED?
As info, there is a gap with the Color LCD, I'm not sure if this has been addressed yet. Search through some threads on this just in case.
I'm a fan of LED, I like how vibrant the dots are and I'm more of a purist with the dots vs. blended or XL. The LED is a better fit too, and I do not believe there is a gap with the LED, but I'm not positive.
