Quoted from Ollulanus:

Part of my issue is the shooter rod being misaligned too, but when I tried loosening the housing up there was basically no play to adjust it. Not sure if there's another way to tweak the position than that?

Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:

Anyone feeling the need for an MRS switch in the bond woman shot? I think it jumps over the switch from nutty speed sometimes.
Maybe a plastic cover will work too

Quoted from RikV:

Code update wish list...
Please raise the controlled gate above the pops after locking a ball at Bird 1. I'm about to rip the whole gate assembly out at this point! (or at least tape it up). Need to feed the upper flipper more, more, more; not keep the ball in the pops!

Quoted from Viggin900:

If anyone could post a photo of the underside of the premium playfield scuba divers I would really appreciate it. I need to see how they mounted the underwater fight scene figures. Thank you!

Quoted from BrokenChair:

So I’m operator for a pro on location we’ve had it a day and everyone’s complaining game is too hard and eats money too quick lol
Game is set to stock standard should I make it easier or harder? LoL
It’s set to $1 for 3 balls i feel is fair I mean the machine just cost me thousands I need to recoup some costs….

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

What kind of adjustments could I make to make the drop targets more sensitive on hard shots? A strong shot from the right flipper almost always bounces off, but a weak shot from the left tends to drop it. Any ideas on how to adjust this?
Thanks!

Quoted from PinMonk:

Short answer: Cut the springs 20%. Solved the problem completely for me and completely or almost completely for everyone who tried it. There's a keypost in the topic index about it under TECH:PLAYFIELD.

Quoted from spandol:

What’s the meaning of the red part of the spring? I took off about 4 rings of the red part, thinking both ends are the same. This didn’t work, so maybe I didn’t take 20%. I will try more loops, but also have the springs from Home Depot someone mentioned, to try as well.

Quoted from Hershy:

Is it just me or is there a horrible ball save on launch and no setting to extend it? clearly my poor play is a part of it but on launch the ball hit a flipper and to an outlane and that was it

Quoted from PinMonk:

I have no idea what the red paint means, but I said to take it off the other end, where it connects to the target. Off the top of my head, 4 rings sounds more like 10%. And it seems like 20% is the minimum to make it work consistently. Or maybe you took it off the "wrong" end, I dunno. I guess I could have counted the loops I took off, but that milk is spilled, so can't go back now and count them to get it exact for everyone.
EDIT: Counting the loops on the picture I posted, it looks like about 13-14 loops is about 20%. So if you only took off 4, you were nowhere close, and on the wrong end.

Thanks. mine was "no ball save" lol

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I just don't understand why this game is such a clusterfuck and coming along at the speed and grace of a homebrew.

That did it! Took 2 minutes. Thanks!

TDiddy Bird 1 mod on its way.. and LOVING these artblades. I know they've been posted before, but these are killer. I usually do mirrors, but I couldn't pass these up! What's everyone setting their car eject to?

Where are the art blades from?

Quoted from Flips365:

There are three screw going from the back to front and two wood screws just going from the back to the wood. Did you loosen all 5 of these fasteners? Sorry, if that sounds like I'm being strange, but I can't imagine it has no play. Do you mean it is already all the way in the direction you are trying to move it? Or do you mean it won't move at all? If it doesn't have play for some reason or if it can't move enough then you can try two things. Basically both give you the same effect. First thing flatten out that plate piece in the backside. I've seen in the past a game that had this piece installed over the top of the lock down bracket there right next to it. Also I've seen one that bent all out of shape. Second you can try to stuff something under the assembly. Use the opposite side of which direction you want the plunger to shoot.

Quoted from Ollulanus:

Played a bit last night, and I've gotta say I'm a little annoyed with how janky some things are on my machine despite a lot of tweaking. Thought I'd compile a list of known issues / concerns that have been addressed or need addressed. Fixed stuff usually have keyed posts, or should
1. Upper ball gate wire misaligned (fixed by bending or adjusting with washers)
2. Drop targets bricking (fixed 95% by shortening springs)
3. Issues with non-level rocket ring catching balls (some machines only, no fix I'm aware of)
4. Ball rattle killing the plunge - (some machines, no consistent fix if you have issue, I've tried)
5. Bond girl loop switch triggers inconsistently (90% improved w/ lowering upper flipper power)
6. Ball hop off the lane guides to flippers - I haven't really seen this mentioned by others, but it's an issue with mine I haven't been able to resolve, and really fucks with flow.
7. Hard metal edges in line of fire - open to debate I guess, but easily fixed at least regardless.
8. Jetpack homing issues - haven't had any issues myself but sounds like it's easy enough to fix w/ settings
What am I missing? And anyone have suggestions for bad plunges or ball hop? Those are honestly making me not want to play the damn thing.

Quoted from J85M:

Wire running off two screws mounted above the nearest node board, wire is looped and cable tie is wrapped around the divers torso and through the wire loop.

Quoted from Flips365:

Just leave the glass off and add 25 balls!

Quoted from RikV:

Huh? , are you saying that raising the controlled gate makes it too easy

Quoted from SimplePin:

Just had a really fun game. Not a super high score but fun. Lot's of great flowing combos and shots. Highlight was one of those fabled PinMonk shots around the spectre targets.

Quoted from chris1ton:

There is a version 0.87 code update just now. My pin is downloading it now. Not sure if someone mentioned this already.

Quoted from Hashman:

Have had our new pro for a few days and I find the kickout from the underwater scoop super annoying as it always just hits the red post below the pops. Is this how it was designed or should it be hitting the rollover switch into the pops?

Quoted from RandomTask:

I'm getting a tech alert on the Tanks Hood Target. White/Red and Black/Red. I've reseated some connectors but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Also, it doesn't seem like the switch test is working... Switch Alerts does but I can't anything to 'ding' in Switch Test...

Quoted from PinMonk:

Mine usually hits the tank target.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Pull the white post on the inside left of the coin door. Then try testing. Switch matrix gets no power with the coin door open on Spike2. Even Joel Gahan knows that.
[quoted image]
If the target works once there's power to the switch matrix, the tech alert just might be because you haven't hit that target in a long time. Pressing it a few times should clear it if that's the case.
If it still doesn't work, you may just have to adjust the blades closer together so they touch with an easier press. If that doesn't do it Check CN12 on Node 8 (by the flippers under the PF) to make sure it's plugged in tightly.

Quoted from mstang01:

Mine always shoots into the pops…

Quoted from Hashman:

This would be better. I'll change the kicker power and see what happens, otherwise i guess loosen the scoop screws and see if I can adjust it a bit.

Quoted from RandomTask:

Hmmmm, I'll need some more messing around I guess. Could be the blades.
I pulled the Interlock switch... The test still didn't seem to work, but I was tired earlier.
Well the tech alert is gone after the messing about and a power cycle. Maybe its because I've NEVER hit the tank target or... I fixed it lol
