Joined the club yesterday. My first NIB. What a great game. Danged exciting.

Sorry if this has been asked but I didn't see it. I've had a Pro for a couple weeks now and notice sometimes the ball hits the slings and they don't fire. Other times they come off normal. I don't think it's mechanical, i.e. switch related because the ball hits fairly hard when I notice it.

Is this normal for this machine?

Thanks junky. I should have checked that first but it didn't seem like a switch issue. Sometimes it will bounce off 1 sling and hit the other and not fire either.

Looks like several of us had that problem. Mine did that out of the box. I didn't do anything to it yet but last time I played it worked perfect.

I did the 90 degree bend fix and have not had a problem since.

I love this game. Yesterday I had an epic (for me) game. After playing it for 2 years I finally saved Xandar. Talk about a rush!!!

Hit both flippers to skip sequences and kick the ball out of the scoop, etc.

I believe that's how it's supposed to be. That's how mine is anyway. Makes it harder to complete that mode.

Robbie, spend some time reading this thread for some of your answers in depth, but to hit a few high points.

Guardians is a great 1st machine. It has enough depth to keep you coming back but not so hard that it's unapproachable.

There are sound mods for this machine. See the links on ther 1st page for Cleland.

There's not a lot to look out for as far as buying used since it's a newer machine. Broken plastic around orb maybe.

Im sure others will come in. Good luck.

I have the pinball life shaker in my pro and it is perfect.
