Quoted from Pinballer67:

Very fun game but a bit easy. I can roll it fairly often. I haven't tinkered yet, but faster slings and a jacking the back legs might help difficulty. I wonder if lightning flips would work, too. The lane change bonus at the back scores way too high IMO and breaks the game. Doesn't seem to be enough reward for sinking the ships(?). Still, I have a fairly large collection and this one looks, sounds and feels FUN after bashing my head against the other brutal games in my collection! Plus, it's my 8-year old's fave to play [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

The translite of that game is incredible

Quoted from Billc479:

The only time I have a problem with the flippers is the left flipper when the ball comes shooting out of the egg - the force is enough to where the flipper does get pushed down if I have it up.
There is a coil power adjustment - it is +/- 12% that is supposed to be used to compensate for line voltage issues. I don't know if this adjustment includes the flipper coils, but you may want to take a look at where it is set. (Adjustment 33) Maybe yours is set low?

I was also wondering if that setting on DE/Sega games includes the flipper coils or it is just for all the other solenoids.
Tried the 3 different setting but could not feel any difference of power on the flipper coils

Quoted from TiltingT:

Just wanted to share me recent experience with my LW3. It had started going into random Slam Tilt and rhen reset. Often t8mes the Karate kicker and pop bumpers would start firing random and rapid and then the machine would go into Slam Tilt. Upon beginning to investigate the problem, I found that the playfoeld hanger screw had stripped out and the screw was resting on the top lug of my trough switch.. I removed the screw and played a few test games and that fixed the slam tilt issue..Here are a couple of pics of the screw in the state I found it.Thought it may be helpful to someone in the future

seems to be a common issue as it is described on pinwiki

Quoted from Preacher:

Hi!
The diodes in the 555 lamps, can they be replaced with any random diode or are there game specific diodes?
I have a box full of random “non-pinball” diodes and I like to use them to replace my broken ones.

'random' diodes is a wide range- typical ones would be 1N4001 - 4007
