Hi mates!

I am studying whether I should join the AFMR club, since I have the possibility of buying an LE.

I read there is a lot of issues with the playfields and other problems.

The machine that maybe I will buy is number 65 of 1000... I understand that it's an early edition, so does that represent any added problem?

Thank you guys for the explanations and information, much clear for me now. Deal done, so in the next days hopefully I will join the club with my AFMr LE!

Joined the club today! So happy, looks badass!

Today I only had time to plug it and make a quick game. There is a couple of things that I would like to ask:

- I noticed the music and effects don't sound "bright" or "clear". I tried balancing the subwoofer/speaker in the CGC menu but still not very happy. Is there any other place where I can adjust treble, bass or something like that?

- A lot of rattling... So I removed the glass, and the rattling continues but still very noticeable, even if I set the subwoofer down enough. The pin have sidemirrors too, IDK if they are rattling too. I have to investigate this, I will look for some solutions already discussed in this thread.

- The strength of the flippers seems very strong to me, the ball is fast as hell. How do you set the flipper's strength in your pin?

- I have some crazed plastics. Anybody knows if I can contact CGC for that, even if I'm the second owner?

Thanks for helping the newbie with his new toy!

I raised the playfield to see if is there anything that can vibrate, and I found that my subwoofer cone was bend in, like if someone pressed it.

I fixed it by pulling out with some tape and tried how the pin plays, but still A LOT of rattling.

Maybe my subwoofer is broken?

Can I just disconnect it?

Finally found it!

A speaker cable was disconnected, so I had no sound on the backbox speakers, I only had sound from the subwoofer... that's why everything was vibrating and sounded like shit.

Now sounds great and no rattling

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

I just received the custom backglass (real printed glass, not a translite) I had made, so thought I would share with the group. I kept with the original theme, with just a couple of changes. First, I got rid of the credits at lower left, and second I integrated my son's name into the game. Instead of "Eat at Eddy's" the sign now says "Zane's Arcade". I then customized the sign on my building to say "Play at Zane's". Something fun to do, and he got a real kick out of it.

Loving it!

My project last night, custom painted Martians!
Before: boring green Martians. They look sad.

After: Exciting, much happier Martians!

Cool work, they rock!

CGC should have done something like that with the AFM remake, at least in the LE's

Ps: would you paint my aliens if i send you?
