I must say, they look great on this title based on your video. Can't quite get wrapped around the whole "LEDS around the playfield" thing yet, but very impressive in this case.....

Thank you Damien!!

Hi Everybody. Hey, my wife bought me the PinGraffix power blades for my AFMr SE as a birthday present. I got them on Friday and tried to install them today. The blades were easy to put in, but the power supply that came with the blades will not power up. I have the wires correct (kind of hard to screw this one up) but no dice. I double checked the connections with my Fluke to ensure the contacts were touching. I contacted PinGraffix and the reply was to switch the wires in case they were "mislabeled." The color code was correct, but I tried the suggestion anyway and again, no luck. Has anyone else bought the power blades for AFM and if so any issues? I can't see how I could have missed a step. It was pretty plug and play. Suspecting faulty power supply. Sort of bummed because I blew my afternoon trying to get this to work.

You posted this in the AFMR ( remake thread )

Do you have an AFM or AFMR ? If AFM, maybe try making a new topic type post. Connectors may be different for both games.

AFMr SE

Big new addition to my lineup.

AFMRSE serial 1001. To my understanding se was first on production so this should technically be the very first afmr off the line.

Also some beauty mirrored pinblades from pingraffix

Doing a little research on these remakes. Heard from 1 owner that there's been some chipping at the drain area, as well as the ball lock area.
Anyone else experiencing this already? Sounds as though it's the edges that are the problem, and easily solved with a couple Cliffys.
Is this common, or a one off?

It's from balls draining off the playfield. Mylar across it or if Cliffy makes one use it.

Can happen on originals or remakes.

LTG can you help us understand how present day CC differs from what they were using in the 90s. From my understanding, environmental standards forced manufacturers to use products that were less durable, and thus, some of the issues people report from pretty much all.manufacturers these days regarding chipping. Not saying all games do this, but having a game with less than 100 plays where the edges of some holes are actually peeling off seems to be a bit of a concern.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Cheers

I have no idea. I wasn't using it back then, and not using it now. ( spraying/applying it )

Maybe some of the restorers can chime in ?

LTG : )

LE delivery tomorrow. Finally!

Awesome What Number?

Don't know yet, will post pics.

Didn't read the entire thread so excuse me if this question is answered elsewhere.

It is my understanding that the graphic "Bally" under the display can be owner replaced with basically anything the owner desires as long as it fits a certain format. Has anybody done this and what I'm curious about is, does anybody know the name of the font that Bally used when they designed this "emblem"?

Yes! But no clue on font.

markp99 this is achieved by adding the file to a USB and then going into the settings and uploading it? where can someone obtain additional information on this please.

Thanks.

edit found this - Customized Logo Display – Both the LE and SE now allow the game owner to customize the logo appearing on the speaker panel. Games will ship with the Bally logo appearing in the small Customized Logo Display area. Details on file requirements and installation procedures to be included in the manual.

Does anyone have any info on what changes have been made to the clear coating in present day machines versus what was being used in the 90s.

I've seen countless posts where people have complained about brand new games showing signs up chipping almost right out of the box. This is not just AFM. I've recently seen posts on JJP games and others.

I have Cliffy's on my MMR and AFMR now, but I have to order two drain protectors as I was getting chipping on both sides. My AFMR has less than 200 plays.

Unfortunately its just how it is with the new thick clearcoat used now.

Ours should have been delivered days ago.
Been sitting in Amarillo and Dallas for ever.
SAIA is the slowest trucking company I have seen.

This is good info. Noted!

sti isn't any better!

extendo, I made the image 320 x 80 as specified, but I did notice the speaker panel bezel did obscure a couple rows of pixels of the image at the top and bottom edges. I shrunk my image down within the 320 x 80 frame just a bit to accommodate.

Thanks for post this Mark. I want to play around with this some. Just another cool thing about these remake games!

Yup I had the same problem, I am waiting for them to give me a solution but it sounds like the PSUs are defective. My advice is to hold off buying any powerblades for AFMr until this issue gets resolved. I will keep you guys posted when I get a response.

That sucks! Well I’m waiting on R&L right now. Last one they delivered had a pallet jack hole straight through the box and bottom of the pin. Knock on wood!

How the heck did it have to go through Amarillo?

Got the call this afternoon. LE shipping Friday, delivery next week.

Silly question - How are the Solenoid Tests supposed to work on AMFr?

From Menu, I select "T.4 Solenoid Test"

I can flip thru the various coils, but NO COILS actually fire, except 33 & 34 (Right & Left Gates). Is this typical; I kind of expected the coils to individually fire when selected?

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Need to pull high voltage door switch out....

What about a high power cut off near the coin door?

Ahh, that's it! Never would have looked there. (But I should have - the manual instructs exactly this task. - D'oh)

Thanks!

Good question, but here is my tracking info so far.

You can't imagine how *indirect* the route is from CGC to Australia... not a complaint - just stating that tracking an international container ship is excruciating...!

#533 reporting for battle soldier! Took me 4 games to knock off the default GC. I'm having the same issue that stdminstl and others reported by the way...majority of my launches rattle around and either drop into the right orbit or doesn't go all the way on the super skill plunge.

Just joined the club with #475 Martin Green LE arriving today. I am so glad I watched this forum over the last several months. It helped me decide to upgrade from an SE to the LE. I never thought I would enjoy a topper so much.

Somehow i missed your email , please send me another email to [email protected]
I will make sure you are taken care of properly

I want to let everyone on this thread know if you have an issue with any Pingraffix products please contact me at [email protected] Pingraffix will make it right.

Thanks, joeraptor2003 got back to me last night and will be shipping me a new PSU. Do I still need to follow up with you as well?

Game finally arrived in town this morning.
#445 is in the back of our truck as I type
Can’t unbox till 8:00 tonight though.

AFMRLE #502 is in the house. This is one great game and maybe the best topper ever!!!

This game has the best extra ball callout/graphic of all time, no discussion, and the giant color dmd makes it even more glorious.

Question: I am getting a rattle from the bass when the volume is cranked up, the glass is rattling where it meets the backbox.....is something loose? If I press down on the rubber on the glass up there it gets substantially quieter.

Anti-rattle tape or a strip if thin cardboard in the slot seems to work.

Congrats Arcade, mine is #450

What Flipper strength are most using?
I remember reading that most are to strong out of the gate.

Anti-rattle tape absolutely works wonders.

Nope, just wanted to make sure all the Pingraffix customers were taken care of.

HI Guys
We have been busy in the Pingraffix Bunker and sorry I didn't get to this earlier.
Dennis..Thanks for posting up in here. .Just to clarify..We do perform a test here before we send them out.. And like any other electronic device..sometimes things happen. We work very closely with our customers to make sure if there are any issues..get up and running. Dennis is one of the best I have ever met in the business and helped me develop them so if anyone knows ..It's him.

All of our units have been through QA and all are good to go. No worries moving forward.

Best!
