Sorry about so many questions.

Disconnecting all flashers and switches so I can take off ramps and discovered this loose wire on the iron monger mech.

I'm assuming this connects to non banded side of diode like the other colored white wires but just wanting confirmation.

Thx

Hey thx for reply.
Yeah I used the other 6 short spacers on the return lanes.

Weird.

Yeah this white wire looks like it goes on this switch.

This is an original iron man from 2010.

Thx

So I'm installing the rev B shaker from pinball life.
The long connection to the cable from backbox .

So instructions say look for graybrown wire .
The connector that I found to connect to has a yellow wire.

Is that kosher?
Thx

So here is the other connector
It's already connected to another wire.

The other is the shaker connection to yellow wire I made.

So this is 2010 IM .

Do I unplug other connection and plug into that connector?

It's actually a purple wire.

Confused here.

Am I crazy but should the whiplash targets not register when monger is up. They are only registering when he's down.

I reconnected a loose wire on an iron monger switch.

Hope I didn't f it up.

I
Thx for info!

I've hooked up a jbl sub to bottom cabinet sub and sound is good.
Any need to replace backbox speakers and if so anyone got some good recommendations.

Thx

Yeah I've got an original.

I put an external amp into my meteor and it really helped.

For sure let me know. Thx

Ordered the convertor, new 4 inch speakers, amp and associated cords.

Finished modding and cleaning and upgrading this routed iron man.

It looks awesome and plays just as good.

Started having some of my patients at my job start to play it.

I'm a PTA at a special needs day program and provide physical therapy to my patients.

The owner is a good friend and let's me keep a pin in physical therapy dept and pays me 20 dollars a month lease..I'd do it for free!!

Here's a pic of one of my guys.
