Quoted from shaunpurslow:

Not to add another question to the troubleshooting thread... But has anyone else experienced the right orbit brick shot? I feel like I hit that Domino lane perfectly and sometimes the ball comes to a dead stop and falls down into the shooter lane. It clunks like it's running into something, but there's nothing there. Do I just need to get better or is there some kind of problem/fix I'm unaware of?

Quoted from gumnut01:

There are 2 one way gates that the game controls to stop the ball from orbiting. It feeds it into the pops. These gates were a bit low on mine and brushed against the ball as it went around the orbit. They might be a bit low. You can raise them by undoing there attachment bolts, push them up a bit and retighten. [quoted image]

Quoted from MasterBlaster:

I can let you know in 17 days!
Somewhat related question, is there any reason to keep the box? I was thinking I would at least cut a section out of one of the sides that has the model and serial number, along with the Stern logo. Who knows...20 or 30 years from now it might be fun to see how the “old” Stern logo looked on the boxes.

Quoted from shaunpurslow:

I took a picture of the area where it clunks and dies. I probably should have mentioned I am on a pro. No idea if that makes a difference.

This is what happens when you ask your significant other about getting that Stern poster to hang in the game room and she says no...
[quoted image]
You make your own "art" piece. Maybe next time she'll say yes to the poster.

Quoted from Bundy:

What happens is that sometimes a hard hit from the left flipper into the right orbit causes the ball to get air born off the playfield and it hits the underside of the Katana causing it to die.
You can dial down the power of the left flipper or put a piece of Lexan under the Katana to force the ball down. That way it will make the orbit.
Rest it on the guide rail to the left and on the red plastic to the right.

Quoted from Meri-cah:

Another monster game. I can verify that you can get mechsuit multiball on every ball. I got one on ball one. Then on my extra ball got another. Then one more on ball 3. Beat it up. But still haven’t finished the game. Ugh!!

Quoted from EternitytoM83:

Haha, I actually saved one side of the box to do the same thing. Great minds. What size frame is that?

Quoted from S_Griffin:

New to Pinside and 1st time owning a pin. Can anyone help, I bought a NIB Premium and have less than 100 games on it.
1) The game does not enter in battle mode or any of the activated options( battle, quest, weapons, etc) when you shoot the hellhouse ramp. This just stopped working 4 days after setting up the pin. The ball just sits in the ramp and after 30 seconds or so, the bumpers pop and the machine ejects the ball.
2) The BOOM button seems to be constantly pressing the switch which makes is BOOM button non-operative. This appears to have been out of the box like this.
Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Quoted from S_Griffin:

Thank you everyone who helped me, here is an update:
#1 - I lifted the playfield and a wire broke of the miniature switch of the VUK assembly.
#2 - I bent the metal pieces at the BOOM switch so they are not touching when the lock down bar in installed.
Hope to be up and playing again soon!

Quoted from FatPanda:

Curious to see a pic of this?

Quoted from roar:

How do you. have that many weapons and only 2 chimichangas? That's crazy! Shoot the right loop more man

Quoted from Bundy:

Lowers the number of briks a lot but they still happen and that is because of the short wire divider on the playfield where the orbit meets the shooter lane. If you hit the very end of that wire the ball will die no matter what. But then again, that was not a clean orbit shoot anyway.

Quoted from shaunpurslow:

Is this the wire divider you are talking about? If so, why is it there? What does it do besides get in the way? Can we remove it?[quoted image]

Quoted from gumnut01:

It’s part of the design to facilitate the up down ramp used in the premium and Le. The wire is meant to divert the ball away from the shooter lane when the ball comes out of the pops. To me it is the clunkiest part of the design, but to quote a wise man “It is what it is”

Quoted from punkin:That's Sorcerer. Sprung wire gate that allows a short plunge through the spinner instead of going up to the inlanes. Means you can light the R.

Quoted from JonCBrand:

I may be completely over thinking this whole bounce on a right orbit shot, happens 10% of the time for me.
What about a mod where the right most ball guide between orbit shot and shooter lane, had some sort of an extension on it that was hinged and spring loaded.
The spring would hold the extension against outer rail of playfield, and would be light enough that a shot out of shooter lane would push easily through, but any ball entering or exiting the domino shot would be routed down that lane. Obviously the pressed in metal wire form would come out.
I visualize a hinged in between the two pieces.[quoted image]

Quoted from gumnut01:

The drop down ramp for the premium or Le needs this space on the playfield to be clear to operate. That’s the problem.

Quoted from JonCBrand:

I have a pro, (for now) haven't had a chance to see a prem/le. either way. I just plunge quick and still get my switch hit.
If this is the flaw of the game im 100% happy

Quoted from DaddyManD:

Yeah this is the one that rejects my right orbit shots on my pro...I really think it is this and not an airball issue. I may try to remove it this weekend especially if its only there to facilitate the prem/LE feature.

Quoted from JonCBrand:

I'm doing some investigation on this ball rejection issue. I don't think it is the wire pressed into PF. Im thinking its air ball or possibly this section of the rail that is out. When manually rolling ball past that it catches the lower edge.
I'm going to fix the rail and make a plastic airball deflector.

Quoted from awesome1:

My guide stuck out a little like yours does when I received my NIB DP Pro in Sept 2019. I unbolted the securing screw shown in your pic, placed a cloth and standard screwdriver between the guide and side of playfield and slightly bent the guide back towards the side. It bent fairly easily and now it sits flat against the side. I posted a pic on here before and after when I did it.

Quoted from shaunpurslow:

Dude! I just did this and it totally worked for my ball launch problems. I never realized how much that metal piece was sticking out. Every couple of launches would clunk up there at the top and stall. I thought it was the chimi truck it was hitting. I raised the chimi truck and it still didn't fix it. But bending this piece so it was flush against the side actually worked! Now I launch balls all around the orbit at the top and it's like butter. Thanks man!
Now to fix the clunk by Domino with that giant staple looking thing.
