Horribly designed switch. I think I have mine finally tweaked just right for now but man that thing is flaky

Honestly, I think the rational answer is a pro.

I like the extra features but I could live without them.

I’ve had a ball get trapped behind Sarc a few times if it travels at a certain speed I think

Goes into ball search. Have to poke it out of there.

Good news is you have time to replace the glass and lockdown bar before you lose it!

I assume the Mummy switch is similar to Orb switch?

Haven’t had an issue with that one yet

Actually I’ll change my opinion

I would want all of the features of this pin it’s that good

It’s addictive like TWD. Maybe more so

Get the premium

Premium or LE

Pencil out? Sure the pro pencils out but if you want it all and it’s worth it for the intangibles that don’t pencil then it’s premium or LE

Man these switches are a joke.

Now i can't figure out if mummy switch is messed up AND/OR the sarcophagus switch.

I've tweaked the Mummy and now Sarc just loads and then goes into ball search every time, drops it down, and spits it out. And then Mummy is no longer available.

Frustrating.

Gonna have to do the same.

Left ramp isn't registering the lock even though it appears on the Lcd? Def not the Mummy ball.

I'm sending an email to Game room guys and calling Chas. Let's see what they come back with.

I know right. Was working fine. Then boom, can't figure it. Loosened up Sarcophagus gate in the back, no difference.

Started on .97 and continued on .98 after update.

Might be a node board issue?

Can you imagine? What a disaster that will be on route.

I’m hoping that’s my issue. Orb and Mummy ok for now.

There are 2 switches in sarcophagus lock?

Ordered rollover switches recommended by Fytr.

Well at least BM66 had a nice code drop to keep me going until i can get those installed!

Thanks Rob, yeah i ruled out the switch behind the panel so now its the sarcophagus mech. Gonna pull that tonight and just wait to get parts and replace.

Hopefully that will work!

It's one thing to have to adjust those captive ball switches. A pain in the ass but simple to get to and do.

Maybe the sarcophagas switches will be as well but i think Russell said it took him about an hour and a half?

Here is what I'd try. So I pulled the Sarcophagus mech and adjusted the switches so we will see what happens when i fire it up again.

There was a screw that was missing from the mech and left the metal arm dangling too.

The captive ball can be adjusted a bit itself. Not just the switch. Back off the screw that taps the white cap to generate more contact.

If that doesn't work pull the entire captive ball and reseat it. Maybe the spring is F ed up itself and needs to be adjusted.

That makes too much common sense. Stop it Mike!

The gap between the Pro and LE/premium is really a joke. There is a piece of white plastic and rollover switch in the back that goes to the sarcophagus lock.

And the lock mech itself is nothing special. Ever seen the BM66 turn table?

So i got mine working again! Adjusting the Sarco Mech switches worked after pulling it out altogether.

However, had to go back in and unscrew the post a bit that taps the white saucer to make better contact. Works like a charm!

You are almost there Russell. Just a little lowering of that arm and you've got it.

The way those captive balls screw in there you can adjust it a little bit to allow some more give in the movement. I had to do the exact same thing, works great now.

Spring might be binding or the ball just needs a little relief as its too tight. Back off the screws a bit.

I was too impatient Russell so i don't have the new switches yet to install. I'll wait for these to go down again.

Try unscrewing that metal post that taps the cup a little bit to have it make better contact. Worked for me

It's a phenomenal pin. The Sarcophagus mech is crap.

Def a longer post would help solve the captive ball issues.

I've experienced the same thing but seems to correct itself during the game when the mech lowers. I don't think the mech stays in the right position after the first ball enters the lock.

I've had the second and third balls get stuck at the top of the mech because they won't drop in there due to the wrong positioning?

I'm calling distro tech in am to see if they and/or Stern have dealt with that issue.

At least its playable right now although not perfect!

My guess is they will want to send me a new mech.

As for KPG's underworld issue i'd think the captive area is loose and just missing balls. I initially had a missing screw which totally F ed up the Sarco mech first.

Exactly, I mistakenly F ed with my top switch when i had it pulled out, despite working fine, it was the lower one that was causing me all the problems initially! Just another tweak.

For new buyers, I wouldn't be concerned, its a great pin, despite having to deal with some finicky BS.

The mech doesn’t raise up on ball 2 lock to collect it

Works fine on ball one

Distro and Chas have email waiting for them

Had to adjust that switch myself too. Mine did the same thing. Unscrew the White plastic in the back and you'll see that switch there, mine was too low to register. Easy tweak

Here's a good summary from Fytr as to how it should work:

"So at game start you hit the sarcophagus captive ball twice to open the tomb. Sarcophagus raises up to accept a ball.

Shoot left ramp to load the ball into the sarcophagus lock. Sarcophagus lowers to flat again, with locked ball immediately behind the captive ball.

Hitting captive ball now will cause the locked ball to roll back to the end of the sarcophagus trough and hit the switch, which registers your hit of the sarcophagus (grants a mummy letter).

If you open the tomb door again the sarcophagus stays flat as it can only hold one ball. The next ball will roll off the top of it and down to the upper left flipper.

During Mummy multiball (i think) the sarcophagus will lower to dump the locked ball into the underworld scoop which shoots it out.

Also during another multiball (Trooper?) the sarcophagus will raise up a bit and if you hit it the locked ball will be knocked out and into play (add a ball). "

Question for you guys, as I think mine is back to working at least 99%, after you lock the first ball into the Sarco lock it does take a certain amount of shots/switch hits before you can start getting the Mummy letters awarded on a captive hit?

Not sure what is activating it but it doesn't give you Letters right away upon hitting the captive ball after the lock?

When its active, before the lock and subsequently, it registers hits and awards letters every time so I know its not the switch, I think its just the rules of qualifying for the Letter availability.

Interesting, it seems I have to start a mode first before I can start collecting letters, maybe after the mode ends?

It won’t register immediately after locking first ball any time. So you can start hitting captive ball right after lock and gets letters?

Sent Chas another message

I eventually get Mummy MB just takes longer

Thx KPG

Immediately after ball rolls into the lock I get red insert solid and letter M lit

Then I can’t figure out what makes it start to register at some point but it’s not right away

Does your red insert flash right away?

Really? Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to work?

I’m confused.

Let’s see what reply I get back from Stern

Either way, Mummy MB hits eventually start

I do get an extra ball counted somehow at times when I stack a MB with a mode

Drains with one ball left and shoots out two ball into shooter lane after drain

Not often but that has to be a code bug I think

Makes perfect sense

Weird it takes a while but it has to be that top switch rollover

Got my new switches in so I’ll just replace those!

I have a feeling the IMDN "issues" page will go on for at least a 100 pages!

It's such an awesome pin I just really don't even care about the BS.

Now that is funny right there!

Careful Gryzz, you don't want to blow a board

You should wait at least another week to make sure its green lighted!

TWD is on 1.60 Keith so its good to know we have a long ways to go on this phenomenal pin!

Yep

I don't think blue or yellow is really an "issue". Neither one of them look good.

I would go black and match the rails

Yep, and it also happens if the front rollover switch of the mech isn't recognizing.

I had to lube up my rails because this pin has been glass off and up and down like no other pin ever!!!

Got my new Sarcophagus mech installed. Solved the Mummy MB issues.

Now it won't drain out the locked ball in the lock during and after the game if a ball is in there.

It goes into down position but won't go quite all the way. Have to pull the glass and push it down so drops the ball into the underground.

Did mech test, works fine, made sure nothing was binding it, fine.

Bend the metal drop tabs?

Anybody else experience this!

I’d say play it until it doesn’t register anymore

My mech had other issues as well so it got replaced and new one is working, upper and lower switches are fine

Now it’s the motor, one of the switches on the wheel is closing before the mech goes into full down position which traps the ball as it tries to drain through underworld

Not a big deal.

Keep your fingers crossed Who Dey! I’d go ahead and purchase a few BW roller switches anyhow though

Oh man, been down that road brother. It's unreal how a less than 100% functioning Sarco mech and those two switches can negatively affect game play.

For one reason or another i've broken this mech down many times, and its just a POS.

I wouldn't waste any more time, get a new mech from Stern, that's what i finally did. Back to full bliss.

When i got the new mech however, the hidden 3rd leaf switch which rotates the wheel literally fell apart, arm just dangled and dropped so i had to replace the switch from the old mech to the new one before finally getting it in excellent shape!
