I've gotten my Congo up and running, what a great game. I do have a pair of questions for other owners.

First one,my disappearing post that holds the ball for Grey Gorllia bashing buzzes loudly when engaged. At first I thought for sure there was an issue but it does work properly and it's not as noticeable with the glass on and audio up. I will go look today to see if there is a high low switch that may be broken as that would be my guess but just want to ask here also.

Second one, can someone snap a picture from straight above the left jet? There is a green plastic that must be broken and I'd like to see how it's supposed to be tucked under the jump ramp.

Can't take a pic right now, but both my grey post and MAP ramp diverter post buzz pretty loud also. I assumed it was normal.

I just checked mine again, no switch, but I think I found the issue. The manual states coil ae-26-1500 and I found ae-27-1200 is what is installed. I'll order one and report back after its installed.

Yep, annoying buzz is normal. I've had mine checked out, and all these coils do this.

My plastic is broken at same point in the game - has a thin waist there and prone to being hit by the upper flipper. Impossible to source for a repalcement - let me know if you find one!

Which plastic are you looking for, the one above the Mystery Hole?

If so then these folks will have it again in a few weeks.

I ordered several parts from them and they are great.

Check back with them weekly, he gets them in rather quick after he sells out.

Thanks, but I'm hoping not to pay international shipping on a $1 item

Might do something makeshift or use a Stern blue pad.

I might be placing another order shortly, if so and you want to hop on we can do that.

Mine makes the buzz/noise when the GRAY post is up / Gorilla bash coils activated. (I'm not sure which are making the noise).

However, I have no noise on the MAP diverter.

I get the noise with the gray post up and and just a slight hum on the diverter. I ordered plastics from pinball center and they worked out real well.

I'm happy to report swapping the right coil for the wrong one fixed my buzz.
