amkoepfer has a beautiful one for trade but I'm sure he'd trade cash.its a bit of a drive but cant hurt to see of he'd ship.i really enjoy the game and finally blew it up saturday got a multiball i had never seen(mini wiz mode?) then i had the game shut down and give me another multiball(wizard mode?) really fun game imo.

Pretty simple- just a tight spring with an end sticking out that slips over a post on the right side of the exit from the pops. It kicks balls slightly left that would have gone sdtm. Used to be able to call stern and get them. Easy to make one as well

Shame your not on this side of the pond, I have a NIB LE I’ve just pulled out the box to put a new cpu board in it and I’m considering selling it due to covid changing my families plans fairly significantly.

Very sorry to hear. Sounds like you've had a rough few years dipping in and out of Pinball. I admire your tenacity to keep coming back, and not by half measures either - judging solely by your games list!

I was tempted to answer your IM-VE request on the UK forum, but just couldn't bring myself to do it - sorry!

Chin-up and keep flipping Sir.

Cheers Paul, it’s not too bad this time more of a priorities thing this time round, plan is to build quite a substantial extension to bring the wife’s business into the family home, unfortunately in the process I will loose a little room so 2 pins need to go.

Luckily I think I have an IMVE lined up.

I'm looking to add a Pro to my line up. Anyone near Louisville KY have one they would like to sell? I have seen the ones in the market place, and have talked to the owner of the one in Ohio, a nice guy. Pretty sure thats not the machine for me. I feel he wants to trade more than sell, and the one in Cali would be great but shipping is out of the question for me.

I'm looking for an le in Pittsburgh area

This is a great game - can't believe I've been in the hobby for 11 years without realizing it. I wrote this game off a long time ago, but was I wrong.

Avatar is really a great game. It doesn’t get the respect it should because of the way Stern rolled it out. The LE will continue to climb in value as others see what this game has to offer.

I would have to agree with you, Avatar is a fun but challenging game, I bought my Avatar NIB and have never considered letting it go...I simply enjoy it too much. I hear many people talk about it being such an underrated game yet it sits at #118 in the Pinside top 100...I really don't have much faith in the Top 100...more of a popularity/flavor of the month contest...but there are many other games in that 1 and 118 range that I think Avatar is superior to...same with Munsters. So, go give Avatar a decent rating, perhaps people will notice and its reputation will change.

It’s a great game and with decent speakers and a shaker it turns into amazing!

New to the club as of yesterday. HUO one owner. I am in the process of a top side teardown and clean. I updated to the newest code from Stern. One question I have is why wont the machine load Hard installs? It was doing this before the new code also?

All cleaned and LED up

No ocd board yet. It will get one down the road. So far a good cleaning, new balls, dmd glare eliminater, and side blades from Tilt ordered. I'm still trying to figure out why I cant get the Hard installs to take.

I think this game has my favorite call outs of any other game. Really well done, and the humor level is spot on.

So i have a few games played, and I really like this machine. The fn outlanes remind me a GB as they are pretty brutal. I have ordered a playfield protector for it. I still can't figure out why I can't load Hard installs. I will rebuild the flippers soon also. They hit like they should but I'm pretty sure they have never been rebuilt since new.

Can someone take a few pics of the Amp suits left and right side, I'm looking for the proper way the arms and legs should be connected. looking at replacing mine. The one in it has a broke left leg arms are not connected properly. I belive the little plastic things that go under the feet are missing also. V/R

LE has left the building, sad day indeed but covid forced my hand for the need of more space and avatar and Tron where unfortunately sacrificed.

Likely pick up a pro someday as I love the game and it’s a the perfect compliment to Ironman.

I bowed out as well...traded for a BKSOR Premium, which then was traded for a BM66...feel sad about losing it, but loving Batman

Are the Amp suits used on Avatar Pinball the same as the Mattel toy Amp suits?

This is what I bought when I had dmacy strip the topside of mine and make it pretty again.

If I remember correctly, he said he needed to drill some mounting holes in it.

Great, thank you...the one on my LE broke the Left leg...I found a used one on Ebay and hopefully I can cannibalize the part I need from it.

How about this Avatar on location?

In the shop for a cleaning up and exchange the led bulbs for new ones. Almost zero issues during his lifetime.

Wear playfield is only around the magnet.

So like 50Keur turnover which is almost 60Kusd !!!

Typical Marco fleecing the pinhead with their sky high prices.

Grab this for 1/3 the price.

No worries Paul, I still drop in here I miss my LE. There’s a couple on eBay if anyone needs a replacement AMP suit head there before Marco.

Great price...the leg broke off on the AMP suit on my Avatar LE...I bought a used AMP suit on EBay and it was different color gray plastic...on the machine it is a bluish gray, the toy I got on EBay was more of a stone gray...right now my AMP suit looks a bit like CP3O with a silver leg. If I can find the right color leg I will change it out again...but for now, it works. It seems there is a bit of stress between the leg mounts, it pulls the legs together inward...I think the feet should have been drilled a bit farther apart where they mount to the machine.

Joined the club for a second time. Picked a LE up.

Awesome addition to an already awesome collection. Now get those incandescents out of it and LED with cool white it’s a game changer in Avatar.

I am curious if anyone else is seeing issues with their AMP suit legs breaking...I thought it was just mine but happened to notice this ad on EBay for an LE where both legs are broken off...ebay.com link: itm I guess this may be an issue for LE owners.

Avatar newbie here and got a question about adding Col. Quaritch action figurine to the AMP Suit on a Pro

How do you get the AMP Suite open and does he need to be fixed in there with some double sided 3M tape or hot glue?

I have an LE so mine came with Quaritch already inside but I needed a new leg so took one off of a spare AMP suit...the canopy simply opens from the front and there is a "well" that the figure sits inside. Hopefully that helps a bit.

Picks up an LE and every ball it kicks out thinks it’s the White Ceramic Navi ball. Is there an adjustment or setting? It goes into 2x scoring on every ball and I would like to get it corrected.

Thanks in advance!

Check the switch in the shooter lane. When a ball is ejected and the switch is triggered, if the two metal plates on either side of the lane are connected by a metal ball the game knows it’s not the Navi ball.

...and make sure the metal plates are clean, wipe them down. Any oil can keep them from making contact with the ball.

I’ll check! Thank you

That was it! Some rubbing alcohol over those rails and all is good. Didn’t look dirty but It did the trick! Thanks again.

Glad it worked...happy to help!

Anyone know why i can't set my pro to hard inbthe settings. It's been this way since I bought it. I have no tech alerts, and the machine plays fine.
