Make sure the actual kicker is aligned right and isn't worn unevenly. That is a TALL upkick and was the bane of my LAH owning life BITD.

No trick really, just make sure the bracket is not tweaked, screws are all tight, and I'd examine the plunger tip and see if it might be worn unevenly or broken.

Also known as "the part that is broken on every LAH ever."

Rebuild the mech, make sure that the ball is being hit squarely and adjust adjust adjust until it works.

Mine was like that (hole but no post) and I installed a post in my pinball noob-ieness.

Mine had the hole but no post... and I installed a post in my pinball noob-ieness. It had ALOT of wear tho so no great loss.

Back in the club!

Just picked up a nice LAH this week.

Lol, that would be a swerve but nothing like “We came, we saw, we kicked it’s @$$” being Star Trek!

Ghostbusters owners were PISSED!

1.13 + Color DMD is good to go! Read why:

Oooooh. Man I can’t wait to get that bad boy in my LAH.

Got my “new” LAH home last nite. It was shopped a few months back but has been to a show and played lots since then so I’m gonna give it a once over starting tomorrow. Is there a good guide on really dialing in the crane that anyone has handy?

Hey could someone get me a pic of their middle scoops wiring? My middle right scoop wasn’t registering, but while I was fiddling with the switch I noticed the red/white wire was hanging. Removed it, the switch worked! Replaced it, didn’t work. Whaaaa?

Edit: Okay I found a pic earlier in the thread. Not sure why it wasn’t working as I had it wired in correctly, or why it was working with the red and white disconnected? Anyways, too late to fool with it any more tonite, back at it tomorrow.

Will stadium lights fit with the tar pit lock ramp thing?

Yeah me too, sounds like a cool project.

I actually have extra spotlights on my LAH, they were installed by the guy I bought it from and seem to work pretty well.

Well, here’s my Last Action Hero! I picked it up recently, shopped with Titans and Cliffys and LED’d out, it spent some time as a league game, made a trip to the Golden State Pinball Festival, and then I bought it and it went right to a friends house who played the hell out of if for a couple weeks. It was still pretty clean but had some switches that needed replacing and of course a couple solders that didn’t want to hold. Got it home, spent a night to give it a quick once over and it was back in ACTION.

I had a LAH when I started in pinball, and it was actually my first “shop job” although that was a lot less thorough than when I shop a pin now, lol. Anyways, I have a soft spot for the game as I like the movie it’s based on, and my wife and I played it at a pizza place we frequented when we were dating (awwwwwww.)

No mods besides the alt backglass (a necessary) and a couple play field spotlights. I’ll probably just slap a ColorDMD in it and call it good.

It is! It was never for sale, I told him the moment I first saw it he was only keeping it warm for me.

I don't HAVE pinsound so I don't really have a horse in this race but if I was to GET Pinsound, I'd like something that uses the film soundtrack exclusively. There are alot of cool songs on that soundtrack.

I love the idea of the Tesla "Last Action Hero" song playing during the Last Action Hero multiball (or M-BALL, lol) BTW, anyone got video of that?

Oh sure Cap, I'm not judging your work, It's awesome. I've watched some vids and been like, I want that, especially when the M-BALL starts and Megadeth kicks in.

I'm also a huge fan of that soundtrack, it played so much in my car in high school my friends still bring it up.

Maybe someday I'll get a Pinsound and join the party.

The sad thing is, the more wear and damage, the easier it is to hit. My first LAH had lots of damage at the scoops but man you could nail them all day.

Congrats! One of the most underrated pins for sure.

Is it maybe sitting too level?

Is your Danger Bar (behind the drops) working/sensitive enough? I had that issue too until I realized my Danger Bar wasn't resetting the drop targets like it was supposed to because it was jammed back. Fixed that and no issues with the ball hanging up there since.

Startup coil test? Is it looking for missing balls or something?

I just use a level. I tried the phone apps and was never happy with the results.

Welp, sent Arnold off to a new family last nite, so I'm out of the LAH club. Have fun y'all.

Lol, cash.
