New Dredd owner here!! LOVE THE GAME!!
This is my first pin, and have a few questions. Had a few drunken buddies over recently and noticed a few things. *(I recently rebuilt the flippers, LED'd the entire machine, replaced a gear on the Deadworld shaft, and did a basic clean-up of the PF).
Q1 - After playing a few (6 or so) games in a row, I noticed the flippers lose some power, not limp or unable to make it up ramps (almost unable), they just get about 1/3 weaker., I especially notice the upper left flipper because it has a hard time looping the ball around the upper PF. The coils are warm, but not overly hot or anything. - I could fry an egg on the power supply though.., Normal? Hungry?
Q2 - Is there a write-up or vid to see exactly how the chains/missions should work while the Deadworld is activated to lock balls? Like, if I am trying to complete the 'pursuit' or 'manhunt' while that is running, it simply diverts and locks the ball rather then stay on that particular chain/mission. So basically I can not finish the chain/mission 'IF' the Deadworld is on. If its off, all plays normally.
Q3 - Is there a secret place to find JD parts/plastics etc? Does becoming a JD member allow me to know the secret? - I've called places, searched the web, offered a kidney to a fellow JD owner, no luck.. I have a few cracked plastics that I would like to replace along with a ramp or 2.
Q4 - What angle do you set your JD at? 6.5? And do you use the 'pinguy' app? I wanna dial this beast in and just want to verify what I have read.
Sorry if my Pin lingo is a bit off, new to the Pin hobby/lifestyle!
Cheers!
