Well, after many years looking for a nice IJPA, I finally got a beauty. Had a few questions for the veterans.

1. The post for the path of adventure seems to stay up during play. The first time it went up, the post stopped the ball, but would not release. Game reset and post went down, but didn't go back up. So, I guess, it's rubbing? I saw old post to move bracket so it doesn't rub or get stopped going up or down?
2. See picture for broken ramp plastic. I see for sale at Planetary pinball. Is there a plastic protector for this part too?

Thanks.

Fixed my own problem. Post coil assembly needed a little love. Replaced coil sleeve (it was dirty) and polished post. Now, the post pops up easily and quickly. While there, I did notice you could twist bracket to adjust if needed. Now, game works 100%

Added LED OCD board. My game currently has a Rottendog driver board and it connects up and works fine. I do have original board, which I will get repaired/refurbished and put back in the game. In the mean time, the LED OCB works great. Posted before and after pictures here:

Just got an IJPA and learning the machine. I noticed ball not getting to right side of pathway to adventure when it first enters. Friend suggested I check level and I did notice it was off. So, I leveled. Now the opposite is happening. I can't seem to get a happy balance. Another friend said to adjust the set screw. Any strategy I should use? Thanks.

Thanks for inputs on how to adjust pathway to adventure mini playfield. Now, it's not working at all. Haven't lifted up playfield yet, but looking for basic things to check. I did got to test mode and it doesn't work there either:
1. Fuses
2. Connections
3. ?

Thanks if needed are these readily available?

Well, sorta fixed my own problems. Went to test mode and checked switches and then went to solenoid tests. Let all solenoids fire and then restarted game. Cleared a few balls in the idol and everything worked. Before I did all this, I thought I had errors for mini playfield only. Turned out there were 4 or 5 errors. Maybe dirty optos? Anyway, working 100% again, but I think the under playfield needs some cleaning up.

And, the icing on the cake is I actually got to final wizard mode and hit all switches for 1 billion points. Ended up with 2.6 billion. First time in my life I ever reached wizard mode and actually completed it. Gotta make the setup harder. Just my first week owning the pin, and I'm not that good. I noticed outlanes have pretty big rubbers and I rarely drain. Are there menu settings to make game harder? Thanks.

Anyone have or know about Mirco's repro IJPA playfield? Are the letters the same as original with the nice sunburst transparent clears around the letters?

Thanks.

I guess that's why they call it a "shake her" motor.

Wow. Love the mods and the wood-like accents. Really fits the theme.

Well done!

I just installed pinsound and flipper fidelity speakers. Loaded up the sound version from Indiana Jones Reorchestrated
An amazing piece of reorchestration by EndProdukt. Sounds great except at end of ball, the bonus callouts seem to clip as the next bonus is being vocalized. Any ideas why the bonus callouts clip as the bonus is given at end of ball?

Thanks.

Thanks, nice vid. By the way, is it still possible to do that light mod around the DMD? If so, how/where?

For those interested, I started my IJPA playfield swap. Here is link to the thread:

Well, after 6 months, finally finished my playfield swap on Indy. Previous owner had cabinet restored, so now it's 100% restored. A few minor things to do, but I can finally play it again. Thanks to a lot of help from Ricochet and mbelofsky and PinballT

The back glass is the mirrored CPR. The new playfield is Mirco.

I just finished swap with a Mirco playfield. I did have some minor issues with hole and dimple alignments. But, to be fair, I have had similar issues with CPR. My recommendation is to ensure alignment sensitive holes/dimples are meticulously reviewed and looked over. For example, I always have had issues with the side rails not perfectly aligning with the pre-drilled holes on the playfield. For my new Indy, not a big issue on the right side, but major issue on the left. I had to do a lot of tweaks to get POA to work. I'm about 95% good but I still may re-drill left side rail to better align. Also, I always seem to have alignment issues with saucer kick-outs, both when I did Indy and when I did High Speed (CPR). I had to drill new holes to better align saucer kick out. Even had to redrill holes for micro switches on POA which were off too.
