waiting for some plastic frames and must check out mounting options

We have our own forum and our distro is on it. Do you have a good relationship with your distro?

I know. It was a coincidence. I just wasn't sure if it was happening before I was messing around in the backbox.

I came into this thread to see how people were liking their games, I've flirted with eventually moving my Metallica LE for one, but maybe I should just sell it and get out of this hobby before it's nothing but rich douchebags suing each other.

Why is he a douchebag? If you paid $8K for a NIB game and it showed up with flaws would you just sit back and take it if the manufacturer told you to pound salt (I'm assuming they basically told him that)? my hope is that he and CGC can resolve their issues before it gets to a lawsuit. Maybe the best thing is to just take back the game and refund him his money? Be great to know how the distributor feels about the situation....

That being said its a great game, and CGC is great at resolving the small stuff, which is what typically happens with these games.

Likely something just came partially unplugged when you were in the backbox. I'd just open it back up and check all the connections again carefully.

If you buy a new car from the dealer and find it has a dent when you get home are you expecting the dealer to fix the issue or are you just going to live with the dent?

If you want out I'll take your tna.

Yeah, I thought about that before I ordered it but decided it would just be all the lighting that would be different screw holes and decided that wouldn't be too bad. I have a playfield sickness anyways, stacks of them......1 sometimes 2 spares for nearly all my games.

I share the same sickness. It’s brutal!

I hear ya on buying a new playfield for a new game, shouldn't have to. But I have a playfield sickness, I have stacks of them and I think at least 1 spare for every machine I own. Sometimes I like to sit there and just stare at a unpopulated playfield......so pretty my precious......lol

To carry my sickness even further I ordered a Mirco Monster Bash this morning, another beauty to stare at and hopefully a spare soon.........

I ordered the AFM playfield on Wednesday the 21st and it was delivered Monday the 26th, very fast direct from Micro. First time I bought one direct vs a US distributor.

Agree Micro's are nice. I put one in my STTNG, unfortunately it was my first playfield purchase and swap and there were a couple flaws I didn't spot with my inexperienced eyes, but not bad and super nice compared to the old one.

That was step one. I'm starting to think I've got a bad board.

I'll make sure to let everyone know how this works out.

I was in a very early batch of LEs, and 2000 plays in, I've had VERY few issues, mainly involving things vibrating loose in shipping and some minor setup issues. It's kind of depressing to see how upset people are getting, justifiably or not. I'm hoping this ends up being a (small) success story to add to the mix.

I'm not sure what the style was that it came with, but several others in this thread have also said they felt way too bouncy and difficult to control the ball with. I switched from those to red Titans on my kickers and flippers and it's a world of difference in my opinion. Here's the kit to start with on Titan, then you can customize to only buy what you want and change the color as well:

I can't speak for all of the parts in the kit but the 2.5 inch and the flipper standard ones definitely fit the kickers/flippers.

I love that! I think we are all pinballaddicted!

Worst thread on pinside easily. I agree

Have to agree it’s pretty toxic in here at the moment.

And it will pass. AFM is such a fantastic machine. Everyone who comes to play loves it.

Be the change you wish to see. Let’s keep this thread positive. AFM rocks.

So much BS on this thread.
It used to be informative and constructive but now it is a drama thread..

SAD!

As per my post,.. in Australia AFMR 305 is going great,.. and being played and loved,.. little niggles for a physical machine as expected and sorted out,.. hope that helps get the positive vibe going

I agree AFMr is awesome! Can’t wait for what I hope is MBr next! I’ve been a bit of a negative Nancy a couple times but in general I love the remakes

I had a Met Premium. In my opinion the one “must have” mod is the Snake Fangs. Without it the snake looks more like a turtle. Enjoy your new game!

AFMr is a great game - my personal favorite. I think you would really enjoy it.

Totally agree...buy an extra set (their cheap)....they break easily...tongue decal is cool as well (and cheap)

Martians are here, now the Aliens have landed. Both absolutely great games and totally different. Don’t forget for a second how lucky every one of us are to be having this discussion.

Ain't that the truth. Some people don't know where their next meal is coming from and we are bitching about our $8000 pinball machines. I'm not saying you don't have a right to be mad, but big picture we are all lucky.

I can confirm more than 80 AFMR sold in Australia, how do I know, because I sold them

No blemishes on this play field .

Happy Friday everyone !!

Even aliens bleach their assholes!

I did not know that..

I didn't either until I looked closely at the pic you posted

That Alien Pinball looks amaing besides AFM

Also, I thank you for your message, that’s very Positive and true!
Regards

Great collection. And totally agree; we are so very lucky, each and every one of us.

I assume new holes would have to be drilled for the remake boards, as these pfs are designed for originals, am I right?

Only on the backside and only for the lamp and control PCBs. All the mechs are the same.

I suppose easiest way is to trace the remake pf when everything is off, and then transfer that to new pf and drill?

Basically, yes. It’s not dissimilar to if you did a swap with a CPR. Don’t trust the dimples, etc.

Are you having Kruzman sand off the clear coat and apply his process? Guy did that here locally on his monster bash mirco and it is amazing.

If that's the way, why not just have Mirco send un-cleared printed playfields. Seems like it would save work and yield better results.

No planking or chipping there! That one I wish is nude instead of orange or green.

Yeah never thought of that and did not know they offered that; might be a brilliant idea. Also has anyone inquired if Mirco has the dimpling template for the AFMr or can make a template? Would make life easier for a quicker playfeild swap. The playfeild after Kruzman is spotless and clear is hard as nails.

Has anyone installed pinstadium lights on their AFMr?

Picked them up yesterday and might install tomorrow. I’ll pm you pics if you want as I don’t want to deal with the pinstadium police.

Heck with the police as please post as I was thinking of doing of the same. What color? Color changing?

I installed them, they work really great. I added red to the tint to warm everything up since I replaced all the GI bulbs with cool. It makes for a nice contrast. Not doing a before as it always looks darker than it really is, and I don’t want to be called that guy haha. Anyways, highly recommended as I do play in the dark and it made a big difference!

Wow that does look awesome. Guess I'm installing mine tonight now.

This is my 6th pair of them. I have them on all my games. Makes a huge difference and you wont need invisiglass anymore. I would do the uv glow as its pretty amazing especially on my dialed in and medieval madness. You can change the color of the lighting with the app.

Man those look really nice. Did you buy the kit or make your own? Thanks for posting.
