I received my new AFMLE today but it arrived broken. One of the black bolts on the side of the cabinet that is attached to a peg that the play field rides along came dislodged Or wasn’t fully tightened during manufacturing. It caused the play field to have no support and stressed the “bracket play field hangers” and both of them have broken. You can see them in the attached picture. This appears to be a manufacturing defect that was exacerbated through shipping.
I was able to find the missing bolt in the bottom of the shipping box and the peg was inside the cabinet. I attached and tightened them and now the play field is sitting correctly in the cabinet. It was very disappointing to see the shoddy workmanship that caused this problem and kind of interesting to see where the brackets failed. It looks like the play field was warped in the cabinet and caused vibrational stress on the brackets which caused them to fail.
Quoted from DeeGor:This happened to me as well. It was really tough to even pull the glass off, because the playfield was dropped into the cabinet and putting pressure on the glass. It took three of us to pull the glass off and get the playfield back into position to put the bolt back in. We checked the other side and it was loose too.
How long did it take to get your replacement parts?
Yes, that’s exactly what happened to me, except the support brackets on both the left and right sides of the apron are broken
Is there an adjustment that can be made when the ball keeps popping from the inlane into the outlane? Mostly thus happens when it is coming in from the ramps but sometimes it’s happening when a fast ball goes down the inlane. It’s pretty frustrating when you are having a good game that suddenly drains when it shouldn’t!!!!
I’m looking to trade my ATFMLE #925 for an STTNG + cash or lesser project, ideally, I’d love a firepower, Space Shuttle or flight 2000. We could play with the money either direction depending on the trades. I haven’t even put the topper on the AFM yet (it’s still in the crate) and it only has a couple hundred plays on it. I’d also consider a centipede, robitron or ? Classic arcade as a secondary option.
