I'll join. Proud Maverick owner here. It is definitely a challenging game. I still haven't gotten through all the modes yet for the wizard mode. I've been close. I haven't had it very long, but 3 billion is my top so far. Lauren Bell is a super lucrative mode, followed by Angel's Revenge and Coop's Cash. Bank Heist is only good if you can hit the hidden captive ball and Stage Coach is nothing to get excited about points wise. I love playing blackjack for points and kick back too. I've started to ignore multiball as the big points aren't really there unless you have super pops going.

Right now, my drop targets are all out for replacing since one snapped on me and I am putting in a new right ramp, but I can't wait to get it back up and running again.

I think I have almost two full plastic sets for Maverick too if anyone needs and plastics.

No doubt. Paddlewheel doesn't bother me in the least.

I am installing a brand new ramp in my Maverick. I have to rivet the old ramp flap to the new ramp. Anyone know the best tool to use for that so that the rivets look as close to original as possible? Most hand tools do rivets that have the dimples, where ramp flaps are have normally convex rivets where they bulge out a little like a button. Is there a cheap tool that does rivets this way that anyone knows about?

No, I normally wouldn't bother at all. Just checking to see if there was an easy way to do the other rivets since right now I don't have any rivet gun at all.

Did you make those? I would like to see something that matches the back mountain plastic. Would fit well with having the Lauren Bell as well. My sides are all scraped out though, so I would have to fix those and make sure whatever is causing it doesn't happen again first.

Anyone have any good custom instruction and pricing cards for Maverick? I couldn't find anything out there. Might have to ask a graphic artist co-worker to whip something up for me.

Can any of my fellow Maverick brethren take some pics of the back of the playfield for me? I specifically need behind the back left flash to see how that hooks up (mine is missing the wiring) and the back right side by the flasher there. Those clear plastics that cover the ramp are messed up on mine. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

Curious as to what other Maverick owners have for clear plastic and/or flasher covers in the back right corner on their Mavericks? Can you guys take a look at the pics in this Maverick pic thread and chime in on what you have?

I finally got mine back together (thanks everyone for the help). I left off the plastic cover and not even a hint of airballs, so no issues for me. My plastic cover was all broken anyway. I think it is mainly there so the ball can't somehow get through the playfield cut out in the upper right hand corner.

Thought this thread might appreciate this. Got the game back together and was playing a few games tonight. Nothing special ball 1 except that my kick back stopped working correctly unless the ball was screaming down the left outlane. Anything less and the game would miss fire the kick back and I would lose the ball. Ball 2 was crazy. 800+ on Lauren Bell. I found out the shot maxes out at 100 million plus the award each time. I hit 14 orbit shots during the mode and got 2 extra balls during it. Was killing it after that and had my best game ever. Lost 2 more balls during the game on the faulty kick back...oh what could have been...

Did you ever post these cards? I would love to see them.

The Super Jackpot is ridiculous. I think I have hit it once...ever. The shot is so tight and there is nothing, minus a full left orbit shot on the fly, that sets up the upper flipper for that shot.

2nd that. He has fixed a few boards for me with great results.

The decal sets came with a couple "wild card" joker stickers. That way you could use it to replace any broken drop target and not have to have the correct card number and suit.

I know. I was actually given mine for free from another user. Seems this would be easy to repro as it's just cards and not anyone's intellectual property.

Here are all the plastics I have left...

The decal quality is terrible. I had the same issue. Just feels like paper, no protection at all. I mylared over each drop target after applying the decal to protect them. Without that, they would have been beaten up and torn from ball strikes in no time.

Remove it from underneath the playfield. It is a mess of wires in that area, but that's what I did.

Just got my Maverick back to working 100% and I finally joined the Poker Championship Wizard Mode club. Felt good to finally get there.11206973_10205863702944704_3857111147385709227_n.jpg

I just used small bolts with nuts on the backend. No need to rivet it.

1) No.
2) It shouldn't always go to the boat, it should also loop around which is the only way to feed that shot. It's a very tough shot.

I recently sold my Maverick for $1500 to help fund my Wrestlemania. I've seen people try for $1700, but it seems the game just sits at that price. Mine had the topper, brand new ramp and I went through and replaced and cleaned all the drop targets and the drop target banks. Outer cabinet was good, inner cabinet had scratches from where the wireforms gouged it when raising and lowering the playfield. It's a fun, challenging game. I didn't really want to sell it, but it was low game on the totem pole and one needed to go for space and $$$ purposes if another was coming in.
