I've just joined the club :>. Anyone have any good custom instruction cards?

Thanks Paul, its just a pro but seems to be in good condition. Which parts are hard to come by?

Luckily all of those are ok on mine atm.

I've just added some to my profile.

Thanks, so we do. Is that a basement gamesroom?

Back to Avatar, this game is kicking my ass, is it generally thought of as being quite tough?

When I say its tough I wasn't referring to the rules, more actually keeping the ball in play, loads of SDTM, outlanes seem to have a vacuum. Clearly I need to improve. Its way harder than my Spiderman.

Yes I have the spring, can it be adjusted to push the ball further left? Actually I've noticed that the ball often hits that, moves left but then hits the standup target which pushes it back to the right.

I'll have a proper look at it over the next few days, in work atm.

I probably do have mine too steep, tend to have all modern machines around 7.5 degree.

Do you have all your pins set up differently? Think I have Medusa and Centaur set at 6.5

This is how mine is......are you saying it should be one post lower?

Thanks, I'll try that.

I just fitted a shaker to my pro and have it on maximum usage, does anyone think it could be used more often? it doesn't seem to be used as much as in my SM.

Thanks Rarehero, I've moved it to the lower post and it seems to have done the trick. Took a fair bit of fiddling and I ended up cutting a piece of coil sleeve and putting it inside the spring as the spring is much bigger than the post, long story but it works fine now. Here's a pic...

Well mine is completely kicking my ass so far, moving the spring has improved things a lot but those outlanes are very hungry.

....or elastic bands! now there's an idea.

Are there ramp protectors for this machine (pro)?

Do people normally fit a post to stop this happening? Happened to me twice today.

Yeah thats whats happening. How are you supposed to stop airballs off posts? I know well that bending standup targets forward and replacing their wornout foam prevents airballs but what can you do with posts? Replace the rubbers? They look fine though. I get a lot of airballs from the posts on my TOM and they arent the little rubbers but the full length cylindrical rubbers.

I'd really like to find some ramp protectors too as mentioned above, I waxed the playfield yesterday and now The Flash wouldn't be able to keep up with balls on this machine, a bit worried about that ramp.

Sounds good in theory except the post has a groove the rubber sits in.

Anyone modded their Avatar ramp with side glow fibre optic light tubing like the Tron Eli ramp mod? I just came across some on ebay and its quite cheap so bought some to play with along with a blue light souce to power it. Was thinking of adding it to Avatars ramp and either having it on all the time or tied into a flasher. Only thing holding me back is drilling the ramp. Anyone done this or thought about it?

I am hosting a league meet this weekend, how do you completely turn off extra balls? I have extra balls set to none and went through every setting making sure nothing was set to give an extra ball ( specials/replays/competition mode on ) yet in a test game I just received an extra ball, I believe it was given by Eywa but I may have been mistaken.

Anyone?

Its definetly set to none but I will try your sugestion, only thing is you can set replays and specials to give credits etc but there is no option to stop eywa dishing it out as a random award. Usually setting tournament to yes would stop extra ball as a random award but it seems not on this machine. I will go through the settings again and tripple check everything but as a last resort it will be as you said, plunge only on extra balls if they can't be disabled, thats how our league works here too.

Thanks
