This game has no subwoofer correct? How do you go about wiring an external?

#12520 3 years ago

You just alligator clip to the existing speakers?

#12529 3 years ago

Anyone' know when they corrected the power supply issue? Got a build date of Mar 2018.

#12538 3 years ago

So I have build date of Mar 2018 and I assume this doesn't have the upgraded power supply?
What was the other upgrade kit besides the psu?

Did anyone have to adjust the shooter lane guide? Seems impossible to hit anything but the E.

#12544 3 years ago

Thanks! Ordered the power supply and coil upgrades. Will use the store credit for a shaker and eos switches if they still offer it.

#12551 3 years ago

Adjusted the shooter lane but still needs tweaking because it will often hit the posts now.

#12554 3 years ago

I wish you could turn down (or off) the thunk noise the seance standups make. It gets a bit grating when you are missing your shots.

#12558 3 years ago

What is the benefit of the stage eject?

#12561 3 years ago
Quoted from pinballinreno:

its a cool effect if it works properly

What does it do? I tried turning it on and didn't notice anything.

#12562 3 years ago

So you know the clunk noise it makes when you hit the seance targets? Sometimes it will just go Crazy and play that sound on every switch hit. Even the flippers make the noise like it's swof over here. Is this some kind of bug?

Sometimes it even persists after turning the game off and back on again.

#12565 3 years ago

It was the 2nd E target. Thanks!

#12566 3 years ago

What flipper rebuild kit would I buy for this game? It uses Williams parts right?

#12569 3 years ago

Why not both?

Installed the power supply upgrade and now facings intermittent restarts. Basically, the catapult will fire, the trunk lid will stay up longer than normal then game resets.

Quoted from Jerickso77:

Thinking this only was happening while manual testing the coils. It hasn't happened during normal gameplay.

#12583 3 years ago

I cut off the wall nuts first thing but shoving 5 wires into a wire nut isn't that great either.

#12587 3 years ago

Any tips on adjusting the left lane guide? Even a modest right orbit shot will send it right into the center post.

Also, is it even possible to backhand the ramp? I can only get about halfway up at best.

#12592 2 years ago

Machine is level and rail was tight to the rubber. Ended up removing all of the screws on the left guide and bending it some. Had to leave out the screw closest to the catapult when I put it back but it works better now.

#12593 2 years ago

Finally getting this dialed in. Shame the flipper power can't be more consistent but it's definitely playable. The power supply upgrade helped some at least.

#12598 2 years ago

I can pull it off maybe 10% of the time.

#12602 2 years ago

Do you get a lot airballs? My flippers are set at 22 and I get quite a few airballs.

Is there a way to turn off the points based extra ball? Not seeing anything in the menus.

Let me know how it goes. The random flipper power can be really frustrating on a game that demands precision.
