Some good info here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/avengers-definitive-tweak-guide.

Main issues on my game were the black widow ramp needing adjustment with a washer to get it level and raising the hulk arms to prevent ball hang-ups. Both pretty easy to tweak. You may also want to relocate the Loki ball lock plastic. Others had issues with the drop targets resetting but I never had that problem on my game.

The other "must" tweak would be getting the replacement inlane plastics so you can see the inlane inserts.

I'm sure this is covered in that existing thread.

"What tweaks have you done to Hulk LE?"

Fun game , I miss mine. The two Hooked mods ( clear outlanes and Loki light mods are the musts)

It's better dialed in but it will never be a great pin.

How would you compare Avengers to the Hobbit that is in your game room?

Bwhahahahahaha!

That covers what I did. Adjusting the drop targets isn't hard, but was necessary in my case. The ball was getting caught when the drops were down and would get stuck. The drops couldn't go up when the ball was trapped. It was an easy fix, just adjust the drops so they are level with the playfield.

Relocating Loki takes a bit of patience as it's a bit of a pain if I recall correctly. Basically unscrew Loki and move him forward. That will twist him sideways a bit and then you will be able to see the IM right outer loop and Shield target. Sounds easy, but I recall I had to remove a screw that was held by a nut under a plastic and I didn't want to remove everything to get at it. If I recall correctly, I used a small adjustable wrench (really small to hold the nut in place while I removed the screw.

Stern released a couple of fixes for Avengers.

1. Fix for the Loki locks. It's a small sticker that goes over the rivots by the Loki locks.
2. Black Widow ramp. A couple of plastics go under the ramp where the ball is diverted to drop to the Hulk saucer. This addressed the issue of a ball missing the saucer if the going too fast.

If your game doesn't have those installed, contact Stern and get them.

Enjoy the game. It's a much better game than it gets credit for and is a hell of a good deal right now.

Cheers,
Duane

Don't listen to all the haters on pinside regarding Avengers. It is quite a fun game and still my and my wife's favorites in our small game room. Do the tweaks mentioned in the treads below (much of it is duplicated in each thread), set it to Easy or Extra Easy (if you are not a pro player) and have a BLAST!

very nice looking line up

Typical Dookie. Why have you not moved back to Connecticut? Not graduated yet?

Well let's see, I used to own an Avengers LE, and have owned 20 different pins over the last 20 years of being in this hobby. So am I not allowed to have an opinion? I think Avengers was BY FAR, the cheapest built Stern I've ever owned, and I've owned some good ones (ACDC Prem, TSPP, FGY, RBION, IM, SM, Wolverine LE, LOTR) Even after being "dialed in" and getting some nice mods (clear out lane plastics from Hooked, ZDoor's Tesseract cube, etc.) I just found the game to be cheap, and it just wasn't a lot of fun. Its like the physics of the table were off. I've talked to someone pretty connected at Stern who acknowledged the same thing.

Glad you guys like yours, but in my opinion, that pin should have never left the factory the way it was shipped. And its a shame because its a great theme, and I'm a huge Marvel fan.

Have my pro 2 years now, nothing ever broke on it. After initial tweaking all is good. Totally agree though that it should have never left the factory the way it did.

I used to own a pro and I pretty much agree with this guy. It could be fun at times but it sure had the feel of being made by KMart.

bought it upon initial release, kept it for about a year...Liked it alot, but it was too difficult for me ( i'm a crappy player). Applied the cash to TWD-LE machine and couldn't be happier.

If you can get the machine properly set up and like very tight shots, then you will like this machine.

It has to be the game that needs the most tweeking and massaging to play its best but I think it is worth it ,it is all out there just search,I love my hulk and just finished up lighting up my ironman and Thor,I bought the Loki lock figure from hooked but the others I did my self
