Joined the club this past Saturday. Really enjoying it so far. I do have a question about doc ock airballs. It’s seems lately, after changing out coil sleeves on the flipper, that the ball is getting air from the carbon fiber cliffy that is around the magnet and jumping over the optic switch hitting the blue bumper under doc and bouncing out without triggering the optic switch. The magnet feels fairly close to the level of the cliffy protector, but the cliffy is raised up the normal cliffy amount. Anyone have a solution for this? I was thinking about putting a small amount of deadening foam on the blue piece so that the ball would drop right down and trigger the switch on the way out.

I’ll give it a try thanks. Leave the carbon fiber cliffy in place then?

I see it perfectly. Thanks again.

Thanks for the suggestion with the mylar, it works great.

Next question: I just installed an LED OCD board. I know there has been talk about installing the settings already done by herg but I’m a little confused as to how to install them. Also should that setup only be used for non ghosting LEDs? I have ghosting LEDs.

I can import a file that says “more blinky during multiball” is that the file to import? If it is, do I leave everything set to profile 7? Thanks for the help in advance.

Before I owned Spider-man, I played Star Trek Pro and I actually didn't like it at all. I picked up a Spider-man on trade and really like it. So I'm definitely in the Spider-man over Star Trek group.

Before you buy non-ghosting LEDs, take a look at the fading effect SM has in relation to its modes and multipliers. You will not get those effects with non-ghosting LEDs. The closest you will get to the incandescent lighting effect will be using ghosting LEDs with a LED OCD board. I had that setup and it worked well. I did not see the game with incandescent bulbs so I cannot compare the LED OCD setup to the original setup. If you do not care about the fading effects, then go with the non-ghosting LEDs.

I believe the fading effect is also in place for the white arrow playfield multipliers, 2x is lighter than 3x.

I can’t remember all of the inserts that fade, but it is a lot of them. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it is at least:

The 4 villain inserts in the center will be dimly lit after one mission and get brighter as you progress through the 3 modes for each villain.

I think the 3 mode inserts for goblin and doc ock.

The white arrows for your playfield multiplier.

The standup targets for both goblin and sandman (fade as they move from one insert to the next)

Yes and no LEDs dim or fade without the LED OCD board.
