While I'm waiting for my LE ( Green trim of course! ) I got great unexpected news last week, My MMR was picked up from CGC! They ran some and I was one of the lucky ones, with the holiday and my schedule I cant take delivery until July 7th. My Color DMD, under cabinet lighting, Speaker Upgrade, Topper and BriteButtons are ready to go! I'm hearing late summer before I get my Le, I hope its sooner. Now I'm really excited about what the ReMake for 2018 will be, Crossing fingers for MB or CC

LE 224 has shown up and we love it!!! Only issue is 50% of the time when the ball kicks out of the right drop ( stroke of luck ) it drains down the center. Is there a coil setting to change the strength or do I need to adjust this from underneath?? Thanks guys! I can't wait to purchase whatever remake is next.

Oh No! I just noticed that my topper only half works, the Aliens wyd don't light up and he does not move. The saucers work and the lighting up top. I went into the Menus and ran the test, hold down launch button and nothing. Any ideas Brand new and he is broken. I checked the wiring and it looks ok.

Thanks it's working!!!!! The cable on the top left was loose, i think it could back itself out so I m8ght put a little electrical tape to keep it in place!

Thanks again

Speaking of the lockdown bar I can't get my arm to lock it In Like it should, i gave up. I still can't get my SOL adjusted right, on the kickouts 50% of the time it goes right down the middle.

Thanks! I'm on it!!!

Will you be at Expo? I'll buy you a drink if you are!

Which power setting? What coil is it under to adjust?

Thanks! This seems to be working, if it acts up I'll adjust it from underneath like you suggested earlier

Okay so it was still STDM randomly so I tried to make a adjustment from underneath. After loosening the screws it just appears that when it was screwed in it is just aligned poorly. The right fix would be to unscrew it and repositionand screw back in but that's not a option. So now I'm at -1 coil strength and it limps over to the Right Flipper, I guess better then draining.

That was my next thought Man last game I just played I was at 4.6 billion on ball 3 with a extra ball in the bank. 2 center drains ended up 4.8 billion doh!!! Lol, I'll get the right size washers tommorrow. I'm sure that will give it plenty of angle.

It's all in the angle and spacing, even after loosening and trying to get it moved it won't twist enough. I'm going to try washers on one side. It was at Max strength from the factory, -3 ( balls don't eject) -2 the balls usually go to the right flipper, -1 almost random, Max usually down the center.

Agreed, I tried to play Ghostbusters last night and It was agonizing. 2 games then right back to AFMR

Ok so this is how off to the right it is, needs to move to the left but only possible way is to redrill the holes. I've tried to shim it and adjust the coil strength but it may work for 1 ball in play then randomly drain. When it's a multiball or the Martians are vibrating it seems that it lacks the power to get it to the flipper. I've had 2 balls on a multiball STDM constantly when this occurs. Not sure what fix to try next, should I put a ticket in? You can see the gap on the left and the angle is pretty much aimed STDM.

Ill need to get my buddy over to SOLDER it back up, I also tried with a few more washers but it got really our of alignment. I got my drill bits ready. Ill report back this weekend when I get to it. Thanks guys.

Ya I think you are right! I wont physically mess with it yet. Ill open a ticket and report back.

I just submitted a ticket. Ill see what they they. Id take out since its only a couple of screws.

Thanks, I think it did make sense to submit it just to be safe. Thanks for all your help!!

Yep I just got off the phone with CGC.he said if I mess anything up they will send me another one. It should take 10 minutes tops. Gonna do it Friday night and report back. Great customer service and support! I can't wait to buy all the remakes! I am buying T.N.A thou, spooky did a great job with Scott getting that to market.

My Ghostbusters starting doing that, i had to teplace the VUK. Luckily it was only to screws from underneath the playfield.

It got warped and I tried to Bend it back, It worked for a couple days then same issues. Just ordered a couple of switches from Pinball Life and BOOM! Problem gone.

I own a Mmr and AFMR Le and have zero issues with my playfields/chipping/planking, maybe I'm lucky. I have had a few switch issues and Lloyd and CGC helped me thru them promptly. I can't wait to buy more remakes, is also add Stern had been pretty standup with me as well.

So it looks like The Big Lebowski might be out before game number 3?!?....

Guys my diverter shoots it STDM almost 50% of the time, it does this on all strength settings. Before I put the new chip in the strength settings seemed to actually do something. I tried to manually adjust the diverter but even after removing some of the screws a can't get enough movement on it without the screws being able to still screw back in. Maybe washers on one side between the Playfield and plate??

Ok so I needed to change the Popper strength to -2 to get it to not shoot STDM when exiting the SOL and it only woll go to the right flipper. I need to get it to shoot to the left flipper, maybe washer underneath?

I meant SOL .

Ok so I needed to change the Popper strength to -2 to get it to not shoot STDM when exiting the SOL and it only woll go to the right flipper. I need to get it to shoot to the left flipper, maybe washer underneath?

Max either hits the tip of the left Flipper or STDM 50%. Underneath hits held by 5 screws, I can't pivot it at all because just the slightest movement cause 4 of the screws to be off to far to go in. Maybe washers underneath some of them on 1 side? So as of now the ball dribbles out to the left Flipper on -2. I'd rather play like that then the 50% drain. I need to figure it out thou. 1 problem it look like it's shifted to the right from up top. If it was centered or to the left it probably would be fine.

Gap on the left, tight on the right.

Ya it is, underneath I can take 4 screws out and pivot it so it will shoot out more to the left but I can't get the screws back in without drilling into the Playfield ( no way I trust myself to do that) maybe washers on right side? I think I'm done messing with it today thou.

Or take it out completely and drill out the holes on the bracket maybe to create some wiggle room?

LOL I have a Star Wars Premium sitting next to my AFMR LE and we play Star Wars a ton more... Star Wars I always feel like I'm 1 more shot away from doing something great, AFMR is more of a grind at times.

Well I own Ghostbusters Premium, Star Wars Premium, AFMR Le, MMR, Jurassic Park and I have a Maiden Prem on order. My other favorites are Batman 66, GnR, White Water and Fish Tales.

Guys what flipper strength are you playing on? I can't seem to find a setting that makes it seem to shoot well. I'm updated and it seems like the shots are just off, I'm still having that stdm when ejecting from the sol ( need to send a support ticket again ) on any strength setting.

I tried loosening the screws but I can't get enough play, I need to still try the washer trick, I submitted a ticket and ultimately a fix was to widen out the holes so I could get more movement. Washers sound a lot easier. I do have 2.0 installed, it seems like my flippers are just off since I installed it.

THANKS for the response in such detail. My MMR played perfectly out of the box and I guess that's pinball if your not tweaking something. Ill try the washer trick first since its the least invasive.

Which setting decreases the power of the kickout from the Saucer, it seems like it flies halfway to the flippers lol.

So the Right popper strength controls the SOL eject and the saucer kickout?

Well holes are side drilled but to the point of close to no metal left and its still not centered. Its not draining constantly, problem is it was drilled over to the far right side leaving a huge gap on the left, ball is horribly angled. I side drilled the holes but it really needs to be moved and drilled properly into the playfield which will not work at this point. I may still try a washer if I need to but its currently playable.

Thanks Loyld!!!!!!!!

Mine barely hits the flipper let alone a sling, feels like its underpowered coming out of mine .

Ya, Max just gets it to the left flipper.-1 stdm,-2 stdm or tip of right flipper.
