Quoted from Cheeks:

Has anyone gotten an extra barrel to put on the third pop bumper cap? I've always felt that third one looked unfinished.

I must have been dreaming 2 or is 3 now years ago when I was in on the pre-order. I thought someone was working on this mod, but since I now bought a BA edition, I can't seem to find the original discussion anywhere.

Quoted from Pinballomatic:

Coil settings - maximum shaker strength

I wasn't sure if their warning in their of "Danger : Use at your own risk"was real or if they were just trying to be funny. I only set mine to high because I was paranoid.

So, what I am seeing is, my goblin head is auto hitting itself. I looked at the goblin head and listened when pressing it. It doesn't sound or seem to feel any different from the other beast heads. Not sure if I am imagining it, but it almost looks when it pops up, it is jiggling a bit more than the other heads. I can't seem to find anything to adjust though. I was debating trying to tighten things up on the whole mech using the steps above to remove the whole thing, but not sure I fully understand how the actual trap door fits through the playfield. I figured I would ask here before I start taking it apart.

Any ideas?

Thank you! I had no idea it was a leaf switch. That was easy. This machine has so much going on, I wasn't sure what to expect.

Quoted from KingPinGames:

it is a typical leaf switch (pop bumpers, slingshot switch, eos switch, stand up switch, etc) and you need to adjust the leafs to be a little more open on so that they are not as sensitive. the way that i do it is to hold the "trap door" up and with the other hand adjust the leaf switch.

this is a video for a stand up target on a Theater of Magic, but it is the same concept since the beast head is a stand up switch in side of the mech.
