Iron Man
Stern, 2010
Iron Man (Pro Vault Edition)
Stern, 2014I usually change lights with the game on and sometimes a fuse can go with minor contact of wires or switches and another thing that can happen is a wire breaks off contact which can screw up everything in the chain, if it's not a fuse or detached wire then you shorted out something on the board and will need to get technician out to fix it.
Quoted from Grinder901:Thanks buds, I am such a noob. I got a guy coming over to help check the fuses. I'll check the coin door wires when I get home as well.
Sometimes LEDs make pins do strange things. The led by the shooter lane could be causing issues with the optos in the ball trough. Try pulling out some of the LEDs you put in.
Guys the pinsider I bought my IM from, mark biz, helped me out and sure enough, I blew a fuse. F10 to be exact. I went out and got a new one and BAM! I am back in action!
Quoted from Grinder901:BAM! I am back in action!
It turned your Iron Man I to Lethal Weapon?
Quoted from vintage4life:Sometimes LEDs make pins do strange things. The led by the shooter lane could be causing issues with the optos in the ball trough. Try pulling out some of the LEDs you put in.
I put a red LED in the socket under the apron (by the shooter lane) and my trough opto quit working the game thru a code.. Pulled it out and put an orange one in and it worked fine.
^^^^^^
Weird yeah I put a red one in mine too. I'd like to keep it in there. New fuse, so far so good.
A while ago I saw a picture of someone's IM that had some sort of led trim around the ramps. I was toying with the idea of using yellow on one ramp and red on the other. Does anyone remember this mod? Any recommendations on what to use? I know some/most might think its over the top or too ostentatious but I'd like to see how it looked anyway.
Quoted from epthegeek:It turned your Iron Man I to Lethal Weapon?
Haha nice!
Martin Riggs: I don't make things complicated. That's the way they get, all by themselves.
Your enthusiasm does this hobby proud. Totally unnecessary to put that on the back....so I say go for it!
Anyone ever put red ac/dc premium side rails and lockdown bar on Iron man? Does Stern sell the red powder coated rails and LD bar?
Quoted from Concretehardt:Anyone ever put red ac/dc premium side rails and lockdown bar on Iron Man? Does Stern sell the red powder coated rails and LD bar?
That particular red wouldn't look very good on IM in my opinion.
My shaker is causing something to rattle pretty bad, I can't quite pinpoint where it's comming from. I assume its the translite or the playfield glass but when I put my hand on either it doesn't stop the rattling.
Ps. ive gotten to Jerico twice and both times I immiediatly choked and lost the ball 
I did post my best score ever last night 42million (wimpy compared to Rob T's 200 million but still hard fought)

I think you meant to say 251 million. 
Keep at it.
Since I put up that score, my next best score has been about half of that one. Makes me wonder if I will ever be able to beat it.
So I want to change my DMD to red. How hard is it to do? I need some kind of red filter right? What do those run?

$16.00 at Pinbits. Great bang for the buck.

Thank you sir I'm headed there now. Easy to install?
Quoted from Grinder901:Ah shit. It's sold out!
you could go to a sign shop and get some scrap red acrylic big enough and cut your own for free - just make sure it has the protective paper still on it.
It does make a difference
Question... I have stock lighting in my IM any one have a video of the cointaker set up installed... Is it worth going to LED's in this game?
Quoted from Concretehardt:Question... I have stock lighting in my IM any one have a video of the cointaker set up installed... Is it worth going to LED's in this game?
Yes, but I think that a subdued look is a lot better than the blinding look that a lot of the LED kits give out. When I got mine, it had a standard kit in it and I thought it looked like a bug zapper. After a lot of replacing for lower power LEDs, I think it looks great now.
I see I am not the only one debating on getting the Cointaker IM led kit that is up for sale.
Just installed my Whiplash Mod from Pinball Decals , how bright are these whips supposed to be ?
Not sure whats going on with this one but I can hardly see any flash of light at ?
Could someone post a short clip please .

I agree completely.
I have NoFlix Plus LEDs in my IM for this very reason. Very little strobing, and not at all blinding under the inserts. I do have my GI cranked up pretty bright though.
If I had it to do over again, I'd probably just use cheaper LEDs and use the OCD board.
To answer Concrete's question: I think IM looks a ton better with LEDs.

Is this the same as Hooked's? If not, anyone seen both and have an opinion which is better.
Holy shit, I'll never get a score that high!! Hey is your DMD colored? Looks like its yellow lettering outlined in red in the picture.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Is this the same as Hooked's? If not, anyone seen both and have an opinion which is better.
Pinball life sells Hooked's modded figures I believe.
Quoted from Grinder901:Holy shit, I'll never get a score that high!! Hey is your DMD colored? Looks like its yellow lettering outlined in red in the picture.
Yeah, it's a color DMD. Honestly, I don't know if I'd recommend it for this title just yet, but I didn't want to spare any expense with this IM. Almost done with all of my mods. Service rails and mirror blades next weekend and I'll be just about done. Can't help but put a few games in during the upgrade process though.

What did the color DMD run you? Any way you could post some more images or video of the DMD during game play? I don't plan on sparing any expense with mine as well. Powder coating is on my list as well.
Quoted from Grinder901:Guess what arrived Saturday and is about to get installed....

Don't install those yet if you havn't powder coat your armor. Send the service rails out along with your trim parts and have them all powder-coated at the same time. You can thank me later.
Ok. Thanks for the great advice!
Question for anyone:
Why would I want to disable the two orbit posts? It's an option under the settings menu. Is it purely to speed the game up even more?
I would just disable the outer post. The other one, in my opinion, actually helps maintain ball control (monger start, Jerico start, etc)
Well, my motor came today for Iron Monger and he's a working
I have never really had a chance to sit down with this game, but did tonight. After about 10 or so games, I got to Jericho, nailed every shot and the center lit for 50 million- I instantly nailed it! but it came back quick and did a SDTM..but I got the points! final score was 189 million

Good job. Finishing Jericho on factory is very difficult.
Quoted from DK:I would just disable the outer post. The other one, in my opinion, actually helps maintain ball control (monger start, Jerico start, etc)
I actually disabled the inner post.. If you start double scroing before Do or Die or Jericho the timer will continue to count down as you wait for the post to release the ball. Ive had 2x scoring time out a couple times while waiting for the ball. Lyman needs to fix this so it atleast pauses the timer while the post is up.
Hey grinder who sells the IM shooter rods?
I put a pinnovators kit in mine. I bought the one with the up down push button volumes on the outside, I'm pleased.

Do all Iron Man coin doors look like mine?
Which version did you choose bud? There are like four options. I'd love the one with easy volume control.
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:im not sure which one i chose, but my coin door is like yours. l think i bought the premo one,
Did you pay $99 or $120?
