It's not the diverter adjustment, you want to set the right hole eject power back. Go to adjustments and set it at 200. Mine was 220 and had same problem. Now only occasionally it over shoots. Going to fine tune later.

Just fine tuned right eject down to a setting of 195 and shot about a dozen balls and didn't miss a one.

I have my AS set on free play, if you match the knocker does not sound off. It is turned on. The only way it works is to turn off the free play. My ST is on free play and sounds off loudly when a match occurs. I was hoping for a code update to correct that on AS. Got tp love those knockers.

Yes, as long as the lock light is lit the toy box lid stays up. I haven't done the update and that is the way my works. Going to wait for the complete update coming out this summer.

I installed a Cliffy on the upper right eject hole and it has only ever offset a couple of times in hundreds of games. Just shook the machine a little and the ball fell in place. Probably a small file or a Dremel tool would fix the problem but I haven't done that yet.

Yes, but it's also referred to as the upper right eject hole.

Yes that is a toy box launch hole. It only hangs up so infrequently that I haven't really bothered with it. Thanks for the advice about the washers under the tabs. I was going to do that but figured it was much easier just to take off that small amount of edge.

No I didn't. I forgot to mention about have a pro model and there is no switch of from that square hole.

The best place to get that replacement piece of plastic would be from Stern.

I've had my Aerosmith just over 6 months. Experienced my first problem just the other day when Jackie in the Box wouldn't respond to the ball going in. Went to pinside and found somebody else had the same problem, and it was the left opto wire had come off. That's exactly what happened to mine. So far we have played over 1,100 games on it before it ever gave us a problem. I really love this game.

I know, the toy box is the main attraction. It's a really easy fix if it comes off. All you have to do is line up the guides on the connector and gently push it back on
with a straight screwdriver. In fact I would go ahead and check it before it does come off just buy doing what I just did. Also check the opto on the right side while you are at it.

Anyone experience the automatic ball shooter on Aerosmith falling off? After almost 1200 games mine fell off tonight causing the balls to fall down into the cabinet. It would be a good time before it falls off to check the screw on the right side of the assembly and tighten as necessary.

Mine also misses the first time in the first game. Used to miss a lot more than that until I set the coil power back to 196. Just go into adjustments ,coil and find the right upper eject hole and adjust it accordingly. If I remember correctly the factory setting was 220 mine now is 196. You can fine-tune it from there, the higher the number the harder the ball is hit by the solenoid.

I also have a Aerosmith Pro and the orange light on the left side of mine is the only light not lit in the attract mode. This is normal as far as I can tell. It works in the test mode and during game play.

I had the exact same trouble with Star Trek drop Target. Most likely that little plastic ledge is cracked and broken. I ordered a new ledge and that fixed it.

whatever position the targets are in at the end of the game is where they stay until the game Powers up with a new game.

You might want to check the connections on the left side of the toy box that run up through the playfield. Mine completely disconnected at around 1200 games.

Thank you very much for this information ,this is what I've been looking for. I have a pro model but a lot of this still applies. Thanks again!

I also have a 2013 pro model Star Trek. Is there anything like this out there for this game?

Thank you very much!

Did they add any sound effects to the slingshots? Previous code was like the out lanes with no sound at all.

Has anybody noticed if this new code added any sound effects to the sling shots? Old code was like the outlanes no sound.

I like the new code. Matched the other day and the knocker went off. On the old code it wouldn't work unless you had the game set to pay and not free play. LOVE THOSE KNOCKERS! Jackie also said something new, " Your get up and go has got up and gone." Haven't heard WTF yet on the new code.

" Pinball, the most fun you can have with your clothes on."

Tonight Jackie said " I have sweet emotions for Silky Jones." That is another new call out.

When I was in the service that would have been Jodi.

That 2914 is just the first step. You are stuck on the second step. Total update is the two steps added together.

Caught mistake that the code allowed. Locked 3 balls in toy box to go for the fourth. My daughter up next hit the lock for her 3 ball multi ball took the award and ejected her ball into box and it then unloaded the balls giving her total of 4. The way to correct this would be to minimize the power of ejected ball and issue the other 2 from the shooter lane leaving my 3 in the toy box. Ok STERN there is your assignment.

Try setting your power setting at 196 for the upper right eject hole. That is where I set mine and only misses occasionally. However it will miss the first shot when you begin playing and this seems to be common. After that mine is very accurate.

There is probably an opto at the bottom of the drop target that registers the hit as the target drops and breaks the beam. This then records the hit and counts it towards multi ball. My ST ledge also broke and I had to replace it. It should be made with something better than a cheap piece of plastic.

You would think Stern would do an upgrade of some sort. Ideally one made from metal would solve the problem not just on yours but all games with drop targets.

There are optos on each side of the toy box. You have to lift playfield and check the connectors on the left and right side. They do come lose and will completely disconnected especially the left side.

Later manufacturing runs already have the capacitors installed. The other update involves the tie downs to keep vibrations from breaking the diode leads. Mine had the capacitors but had to install the tie downs.

My Aerosmith Pro on first game the C I U works perfectly on all songs. Completing necessary shots set at one or two it will light. From then on at the start of every game Walk This Way and Dude Looks Like A Lady the scoop lights right away when selecting those two songs. Any thoughts? Code 1.06 is installed. I don't think it should light until necessary shots are completed. All others work that way.

I know about code 1.07 and have read over it but it doesn't address this specific problem. Was wondering if anyone has had this same issue and if the new code corrects it.

just recently on my Aerosmith Pro during multi-ball it has giving me an extra ball or two as the balls drained and the light was blinking between the flippers. Most of the time if 2 drain or so it will return the correct amount. Sometimes it will return too many. Any thought as to this problem?

Bump

No I was watching for thst.

Anyone having s problem with getting balls stuck sideways in the elevator during multiball? This has happened to me multiple times and the only way to free them is take the glass down and free them. I have the pro model. Help !

Definitely check the optos in toy box! Especially the one on the left side, they tend to get loose from the balls flying into it; mine did.

Where can I get the c r 232 battery as listed on page 22 under the components? It's for game clock between power cycles. Also how is it removed. I can't find it listed on any battery chart.

Thank you very much. Does it pull straight out or is there a release tab?

Thanks again. Manual doesn't even discuss how often it needs to be replaced or if power should be on as not to loose information or off. Must not be very important. Do you have any information on this ?

Just found out from Stern the battery is a BR1225. The manual is a misprint.
