Hi BM66 team, just a heads up... I too was dealing with slop in the crane movement. I traced it back to the drive side. I attempted to tighten the screw holding the compression washer stack in place on the motor side drive shaft, and sheared the screw off. I didn't have an extraction bit small enough for this 8-32 screw, but once I realized that the shaft was hollow all the way through, I was able to drill it out from the back side.
I have since tightened everything back down, with some blue locktight on the side allen set screw. And getting the timing belt tight enough was a bit of a challenge. But I still have slop in the crane. It looks to me that I have some internal movement in the motor itself, but I will deal with that rather than disassmeble that thing.

Perhaps someone would be kind enough to complete a high resolution scan of the catwoman backbox side art, so we may repriduce it ourselves... for that those of us who prefer looking at Julie Newmar rather than Burt Ward in his underware.

Hello team! After installing my Cliffy's, while in multi-ball, it seems that I have been getting more of these double captured balls in the bat signal hole. One is back far enough to not trigger the switch. The second is in far enough to not want to be nudged out (even when smacked by a 3rd ball) but yet not triggering the switch. Anyone else experiencing it? See the pic. Not sure if Cliffy's related, or just coincidence. Granted it's not a huge deal. As soon as I drain the remaining balls, it goes into ball find and pops them out just fine.

Thanks for the thoughts. No real issues with the switch with just a single ball. It only happens in multiball, and I somehow magically get two in quick succession in the left orbit.

Yes, my games all start with the TV front and center. Running code v1.05.

Hi team BM66, Does anyone have suggestions for peak scoring during the wizard modes. For example, if I get to villain escape with bat turn active, I preume the best channel to be on for the playfield multipier is the villain escape. Similarly, I somehow managed to stack bat turn, villian escape, and gas attack simultaneously. This time I kept the channel on gas attack. Both of these events occured in the same game with a relatively high playfield multiplier, but did not achieve as high a score as I was expecting. Any thoughts here?

If your game has the bat cave upgrade, with rocks on each side of the batmobile, this may be the reason. It adds weight & mine doesn't center all the time either. I just consider it part of the game to sometimes have to hit it to re-center. I like the look more than the annoyance.
Additionally, I believe there is a topic in this thread regarding balancing that may be of value.

Has anyone considered using Pinball Browser software to change the extra ball animated clip to the TV movie clip? Not sure if Stern has locked the software down with encryption or not.

Hi team BM66, I have been noticing some unusualness in the minor villian scoring. It has to do with Mr Freeze and long games. In each case I had completed bookworm and Mr Freeze in order, and then later in the game it started acting like I hadn't.
Once during a long game, my playfield multiplier disappeared.
In a different game, after I failed at a few minor villians, then completed both bookworm then freeze, eventually the timers started clicking down again, and my playfield multiplier disappeared.
Any thoughts?
I guess I could update the code, currently using version 1.05, but I dont really have a lot of interest in the insider connected stuff.
Thanks!

I've collected as many as 30 gadgets. Confirmed using the same method mentioned by coolcat.
You can really rack em up in wizard modes.

Whoa! I cracked the score open yesterday. Full disclosure... 5 ball games, tight outlanes, generous ball saves. But 98% of this occurred on natural ball 3. (Of course I then wasted several extra balls as well as 4&5.)
I saved holy multiball for last, and triggered it during the first ball of villain escape. Playfield multipier was 10x, all shot multipliers were super flashy, and upper lanes got up to 130x. A full 2hour game.
Needless to say I need to walk away for a bit. Very little chance in duplicating that game.
