Hey everyone. I just recently joined the club. This game can be seriously brutal – especially compared the the WCS I sold to get it – but I'm loving it.
I was wondering what you can hit from the upper right mini flipper. I can only hit the small loop, and occasionally get it half way up the blackout ramp. Is this normal?
Quoted from ziz:You should be able to hit the small loop, the blackout ramp, and the sniper tower. If it never makes it up the blackout ramp you may need to do a flipper rebuild. You'll need to align the flipper carefully to get the action you want out of it as well. I like mine so that when you hold the flipper up and the ball comes around the loop it will go right into another loop, not sure if this is the intended setup though.
Thanks. I lifted up the playfield and turns out the flipper was adjusted so it already had half the plunger in the coil and wasn't getting the full range of motion. Fixed that and was able to hit the other stuff up top. 
I've got a strange error going on with my Dredd currently. I believe the back right opto on the left ramp is triggering on its own – the game starts a mode immediately and keeps giving credit for making the ramp when I'm just cradled up.
I checked the switched in the test menu and it appears to be working normally – only triggering when i interrupt it.
Anyone have any ideas of what might be going on? Thanks.
Wondering if anyone else has run into this…If I'm in multiball and cradling the left flipper and a ball goes into the left launch lane when the coil fires to autolaunch the ball out my left flipper will pulse and will sometimes completely drop. Is this normal or do i have something odd happening?
Quoted from altan:Does it happen if you hold the left flipper and just bang hard on the left side of the cabinet?
I'm wondering if your flipper opto mech is a little funky and, since it's so close to the solenoid that fires the left auto launch, might cause it to briefly toggle.
I'll have to try it out tomorrow. I did notice last night when I was playing that the strength of the "pulse" is really varied so that may be how strongly its being affected by the solenoid firing each time.

Couldn't get the problem to duplicate by banging the side of the cabinet, but after looking at the flipper board and pictures of the left side in this thread i realized that it was a replacement board hacked into place. A previous owner apparently replaced it by removing the entire old left opto assembly and putting in a normal one and cutting the board and rotating it in order to get it to fit. Ordered a replacement from GLM.
