Sorry guys are you saying cliffys won't fit on the remake? I have been waiting three weeks for cliffy to send me protection for this game.... for the saucer hole, SOL scoop and the drop target? Should I get a refund from cliffy? Does CGC sell protectors?
Quoted from pinballinreno:Cliffys are great and offer complete protection. They should fit well enough on this game.
The included protector is the mantis amusements style protector. It should do the job excellently also.
The mothership slot protector that cliffy offers is a great idea for long time protection as well as the other ones in the complete setup.
I think most of the enthusiasts in this group will probably get some of the cliffys too.
Ohhhh good. I thought I read earlier that the cliffys weren't fitting good. Glad to hear that's not the case. Patiently waiting for cliffys so I can put it on location.
Quoted from Damien:I'm going into this with optimism. Hoping that the AFM works nicely out of the box, so I can enjoy it for a while before I need to start reaching for tools.
So far with my MMR, I've had to repair both flippers, the castle multi ball door has completely dropped off, one troll has come loose, the castle drawbridge was not working for a while, the ball guides are totally off, and I still haven't managed to get them playing the way it did when I first got it, etc, etc, etc... I get that these are all minor things, but as a first time owner, it's pretty frustrating.
I would like to pipe in to say that My service with CGC has been amazing. The machine played great right from opening it up, and i had to do a service call that i thought was an issue, but turns out it was me not knowing how to get through the menu. But they answered my warranty ticket within 24 hours of it being created, and didn't stop till I had all my answers met. I did a service request to Stern 6 day ago and still have heard nothing. I said screw it and found a fix around it.
The quality of my AFMR and the service I have received so far from CGC has me saving my money for their next remake without a doubt. just my two cents.
Quoted from evh347:Got the Cliffy's installed today on my AFMr SE.
In order to install the Cliffy SOL front/back protector, I had to remove/relocate the cow ramp, ramp protectors, posts, and a mini-saucer cap. Also, the SOL ball guide had to be removed and to do so, you've got to temporarily disconnect a couple wire harnesses (no big deal). Lastly, I had to hammer/chisel out the Mantis protector from the SOL. The Mantis protector popped right out with a couple light taps. In my opinion, the Cliffy offers just a bit more protection above the lips of the SOL. The Mantis protector only protects around the inside of the SOL. Don't get me wrong, they mylar'd the heck out of the playfield in these areas, but why not bulletproof it, right?
The 3-bank drop target Cliffy installed with no issues, as did the shooter lane, and rollovers.
The mothership Cliffy had one hole on the front right that did NOT quite line up with the metal ball guide (above the playfield) which guides the ball downward on a shot intended to destroy the saucer. The hole in the Cliffy was about 1/4" too far forward from the actual hole in the playfield. And after the 3-bank drop target was installed, I had to raise the 3-bank drop target a bit so the ball doesn't ever get stuck on the small width of the Cliffy (now above the playfield) whenever the 3-bank recesses into the playfield per regular play.
In review, I would absolutely recommend Cliffy protectors for the 3-bank and the mothership if you really want to protect those areas from abuse.
You can still follow most of the install instructions on Cliffy's site, so not much has changed there.
Be advised, you're going to need to temporarily remove ramps, martians, the mothership, plastics, posts, and there is some disconnecting of harnesses in order to access what you need to get at to install all of the pieces. It was about a 3-hour job (by myself) to install while taking a lot of pictures along the way.
yes thanks for the write up also.... my cliffys shipped and should be the weekend job. then off on route

mine is also labeled inside the coin door.
Quoted from Pin_Guy:It should be on the MFG label located on the outside of the cabinet.
Quoted from markp99:AFMr - Drooping Drop Bank
Not a big deal, but the drooping drop bank on my new AFMr tweaks my OCD compulsion. It's leaning to the right...and it makes me crazy
The assembly has a good degree of slop allowing for this alignment issue; I can easily rock the assy left and right. There does not appear to be any stop or adjustment screws to improve this condition.
Any suggestions to address or minimize?
My OCD brain thanks you in advance.
Isn't his corrected by the two screws on the bottom bracket of the drop target? I know mine was leaning one direction and when I installed the cliffys and put everything back together and levelled those two screws for when it drops down... it was no longer crooked.
Quoted from Pin_Guy:Aren't these the adjustment screws?
I would hold off on doing anything drastic trying to correct the drooping. As i said i too had the target bank drooping to one side. but once i adjusted those screws to make the bank level with the playfield after installing the cliffys.... the droop was gone. I now wish i knew what the solution was to fixing the droop.... my only thought process is once i played with the leveling screws once the target hits the bottom the traget corrected itself... i dunno try that first before you start manufacturing and altering things.

Is anybody else having issues with the ball not always kicking out of the ball lock VUK? about half the time it will take 2 -3 attempts for the ball to come out. and about once a game it gives up and the game goes into ball search mode to kick it out? just wondering if i should take it apart from the top or the bottom... both seem like a lot of work.
ohhhhh popper... awesome.... so would the right popper be the SOL? if so that could fix my SDTM also...
Quoted from Marcdaddy:My Ghostbusters starting doing that, i had to teplace the VUK. Luckily it was only to screws from underneath the playfield.
why did it need to be replaced? damaged? piece broke off? warped?
Quoted from LTG:Go into the CGC menu, 5th screen, make right popper or left poppr stronger.
LTG : )
This totally fixed both my issues with the SOL and the Lock VUK. its funny cause i never had problems for the first about 500 games... but then it started SDTM from the SOL more and more often and the ball was getting stuck in the lock more and more. But I did what Lloyd told me and after 5 games not one issue.... Back to perfection.
