Very excited to finally have an Alien pin.

Such a beautiful pin.

Quick question it says it's on version 1.2 where do I find version 1.3/1.4?

Appreciate the help but really appreciative to those who kept Alien going!

Sorry y'all are probably gonna be this effffing new guy.

With that thank you for all the help and those that have messaged me.

It's weird at times the back two eggs won't light up and then they do. They stay green (not sure if this correct where the front on changes colors).

Also the L&V weren't lighting up, replaced the led still nothing. Played a longer game and then all 3 eggs were lit and the L was permanently lit.

Wondering if it's a switch issue?

Again sorry if I'm frustrating or annoying. I'm used to Sterns and working on those.

#29176 2 years ago

Thank you for all the help.

Was a little nervous I was going to be made to feel like an idiot. Just the opposite lots of help and support.

Appreciate it!!!

#29177 2 years ago

On the single LED test none of the lights are working on this sector see picture.

What's weird is after a long game some of them will start working. When they do come on they just stay white and solid.

Time for me to do some diag.

Out with the old and in with the new.

I need to extend a couple of the wires to flip the power unit around.

Played a few long games with lots of multiballs and no resets so far. Thank you Averell & Mk6pin for the help on this.

Still wanting to do the capacitors for the flippers, shaker motor, knocker, and side foils.

Such an amazing theme and fun pin.

O yeah I did forget to mention above. I did the 1.3 then the 1.4 code update today as well.

Looking at the pictures if y'all see anything you would do please don't hesitate to mention it.

What's weird is there are no stickers, serial plates, build date anywhere on this thing. I've looked all over and can't find anything.

O yep sorry here's a better picture of that.

Yeah back of the pin there is nothing.

Today the Ladies tournament is at my house so Alien will get a good workout. Excited to see how it does with the new power supply.

Quoted from TomDK:

I have #246 , that might mean that your Alien is not a very late model.

How many did HW get out the door?

#29196 2 years ago

Most of my posts probably have gone over a hundred times. So for those getting annoyed it's not my intention to annoy you.

Going to install MK6PINs tubing formula for cooling. Yesterday during the tournament things started acting weird. Turned it off for a few hours all was well. The air coming out of the coin door was way hot. Been toying with the idea of adding a fan on the back to suck out heat. I will install the tubing first and see if that remedies the issue.

Just ordered Vimtoman's Tracker Mod.

Everyone who played the pin was in AWW of it and couldn't believe the depth and theme.

Now if I could just snag a cool apron lol

Just ordered two of these badboys. Can't wait to get them installed.

My new USB cables are arriving any day. I can't get over this pin! Such an amazing pin. Really excited to get it dialed in and using y'all's tips to make it more reliable.

Air Lock question

During multiball ( I avoid the airlock best I can) however if 2-3 balls go in there the coil has a hard time getting one out. Then it stops, ball search will do it's thing but no luck. Out comes the magnet.

Does anyone else have this issue? Any fixes?

#29250 2 years ago

Ok perfect. Was hoping it was just mine but also glad to know it's not.

Thank you for the responses.

Ok Averell absolutely nailed the issue. Ended up getting Ambush and Sentry Multiball tried to avoid that area but ended up getting 3 balls in there.

Averell was spot on with how they were trying to eject. Now just gotta get the fix in place and boom!!!
