Just joined the club buying a lightly used Pro...really love the shots and flow! I have a few initial questions:

1) For the overdrive, what's the difference between the easy, medium, and hard settings? Seems like easy just gives you the ball save, but not sure what medium or hard do

2) Is their a setting to adjust the strength for the kicker target?

3) Has anyone needed to adjust the curved ball guide just above the right flipper that controls the angle of the ball exiting the right orbit figure 8 shot? I'm perfectly level at 7 degrees and the shot isn't super consistent for me

Thanks!

I am looking into how to adjust the kicker target to increase the strength. 've looked in the menu settings and can't find the coil adjustment...is there one? If not, any suggestions as to how to increase the strength and the sensitivity?

On other machines I've seen the kicker target have enough power to send the ball up the side ramp, but that happens very infrequently on mine. Unless the ball hits very centered or to the right of center on the target it doesn't really kick

How do you go about adjusting the sensitivity to that switch since it's unique?

Would love some input on that post, the 7/16th right above the lower right flipper, and all of the rubber under the overlord. If anyone who has done the whole machine could provide some tips it would be most appreciated!

I'm curious if others have very smooth right orbit figure 8 shots. I understand that the shot is intended to return to the left flipper, but that probably only happens about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time for me. My machine is perfectly level side to side and I've experimented with playfield angles from 6.5 to 7.0 without any noticeable difference. I think the ball is getting help up on the exit switch just above the right sling which is why it doesn't cleanly exit to the left flipper.

I did notice that there's a potential adjustment right above the right flipper / right sling that could possible change the exit angle of the ball...I feel like a steeper angle could help the ball clear the right sling and make it to the left flipper. Has anyone made this adjustment or potentially replaced that switch with an MRS switch?

Thanks!

I just installed the dmcs dead post mod HighVoltage and had a question for the Premium / LE owners. On my pro, the ball only bounces off of the dead post with enough oomph to make it to the right flipper for a possible save about 1 our of 10. The angle is correct, but it rarely travels far enough to facilitate a save. Normally it get to the very top of the right flipper and that is it.

I've adjusted the apron, raised the playfield angle, and waxed the left outlane, but nothing is really helping. I've seen the key posts that all serve to change the angle so the ball goes towards the right flipper and not the left one, but that's not my problem. Any other adjustments I can make to get this dead post working correctly?

It sounds like the premium / LE apron is different in both design and materials. The pro has a plastic apron with a slight gap between where the black plastic apron ends and where the dead post is positioned. I have tried manipulating the apron by putting something on the metal post that houses the left trough light to push the apron out more but that didn't seems to make a difference. I have the metal corner piece guide

I've even tried to install a makeshift shim to bridge the gap that doesn't seem to be on the premium / LE apron but that didn't make a difference either.

Not really sure what else to do

This is definitely helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the Pro apron is not only made of different materials (plastic vs. metal on the Premiums / LEs), but it also has a 2-3 inch gap between where the apron ends behind the left flipper and where the dead post is positioned. Good call on removing the rubber on the left outlane. I've waxed the outlane, raised the playfield angle, and tried a few other things to increase the ball speed but nothing is really helping. I think it could be either the plastic apron is giving because it's more flexible than the metal one and / or the gap is slowing down the ball. The angle that the ball is coming off of the dead post is good, it's just the speed is the problem. I'm thinking of taking a metal ruler and mounting it behind the apron to possibly add some rigidity to see if it works.

I haven't seen that, any idea which pinsider I should reach out to?

I'm selling my DMCS Save Diverter mod for anyone interested in getting a lightly used one (works perfectly and comes with everything) for a discounted price of $200 plus shipping and you can have it now! I'm likely selling a few machines (including Foo) to fund some other purchases, so here's your chance to add the premium/LE save post feature. Here's a link the mod maker's post (High Voltage) for more info:
