plunger lane doesn't always fire the same. it's limp on occasion. new coil? also, it's hitting something on the way out sometimes. i've seen it actually knock the ball over to the outlane somehow. not sure what's going on there.

the sound is definitely worse than my DM. i guess dcs wasn't just a sales pitch. you guys like speaker kits? are they worth the money?

also, when i put the translite in, it's really tight at the top. maybe it's the wrong trim? i have to pull it down sort of. it basically gets stuck up there. really weird.

i may add some other things tomorrow. i know the ball gets stuck behind the lock ramp every once in a while. because it's down, not a clearance thing. is that a normal getaway thing? maybe an L5 rom will clear up some of that? i guess that's what the lane switch is for. maybe it's not registering everytime. or the ramp up coil isn't firing all the time.

oh, the joys of pinball.

oh, i already like it. for game play, i'd say it's up around 95%. that's been enough for me to really appreciate the design. it's like steve ritchie knew what he was doing .

it's my first game with a kickback. i like how you can get to the lock ramp from the top flipper or the bottom. the speed of the orbit loop is insane. one of my favorite moves is hitting the orbit on the right, and when it comes down, let it ricochet off the flippers back up to the top flipper. the speed/rpm loop at the top is cool, too, and i've only had it a few days...

i just started noticing the plunger not recoiling until i fire a flipper. i had the power come off the contact thursday night, too, and we soldered it back on. not pretty though.

yeah, i'm having "fun" with the plunger, wires coming out of connectors, dead flashers, lazy pop bumper, etc., etc. improving the sound is definitely up there, too.

when i turn it on and definitely off, it sounds like crap. a lot of static. i have a Sorcerer and a DM. neither are anything like this piece. is that sound board, speakers, neither or both?

well, for the auto-plunger side, i had a cracked sleeve, shoddy spring and i believe the wrong plunger even. yeah, that's it .
