Agreed. Been scanning though pages today trying to find the post with the hammer settings and still can't find it (if someone has it please post a link). I updated my software recently and forgot what the settings were. I'm getting phantom hits and times it wont catch the ball again and I'd like to fix that.

Just ordered my brand new Metallica Pro, and already ordering mods lol, the money pit begins

I have a mod you may be interested. If your interested pm me. Thanks.

It's a little longer than the stock clear plastic already there allowing it to provide a ceiling for the air balls to hit and be brought back down to the pf.

Found a great way to fix Stern Flipper end of stroke buzzing.
Fashion a washer out of Automotive gasket material (I used gasket material 1.5mm thick)
Use the existing spring washer as a temp plate and pair of scissors to cut the outline and a drill to cut center.
I then moved the rear spring washer to the front of coil and used the fashioned washer to the rear.
WOW what a difference.

Yes that's all I did and haven't had airball issues from Sparky!
Congrats on your new game !!!

I want a Met Pro but can't find a used one for love nor money.

They just don't come up for sale here in the UK.

Just order a NIB one? Unfortunately when they do come up for sale it's still pretty close to a NIB price especially if it has lots of mods. This machine is still in pretty high demand so a used one won't be too much of a savings. Not saying that there aren't deals out there still but I personally wouldn't wait around for a used deal that might never happen. Just order a NIB one!! You won't regret it. Such an awesome game.

I might have to order a NIB. Although a NIB Pro costs the equivalent of $7500 over here.

This pin has been hard to find used for years, and when they do come up, as has been mentioned, it is not much of a savings over NIB. I had the same issue when I started looking for one 3 years ago.

Same here. Looked for a nice HUO one for about a year and eventually just bit the bullet and ordered a new one.

Ouch! I can see the hesitation now

Yup. A HUO used one will be about $2000 less.

85Vette wish I could be of more help but all I remember is that is adjustment #88 or 89. It did help with phantom hammer hits.

Stoptap there's a couple Pros for sale on here right now. One for $45-4700 I believe. Also my buddy is debating selling his. I'll ask him for ya.

Anyone interested?

Status: Didn't sell to Pinsider

I'm in the UK my friend. Although I am on holiday in your fine country in July/August. Sadly I don't think a pinball will fit in my suitcase.

Well I didn't think it was Leeds Michigan buddy.
Surely shipping would be less than 1k yes? To each his own, but I prefer huo so no surprises and it's already dialed in. Plus it's a great way to score free/discounted mods.

Sadly US games won't work over here. They are region locked.

Really - how does this work? Obviously you would need to convert to using 220v, but how does the machine know where it is located?

AC Electricity supply frequency.

Just got through a 7 hour round trip to New York and back for my Metallica (Pro) Pro.

Worst part is I have an open bed pickup and the game got rained on for hours! There was a 10% chance of rain in the forecast to start at 8pm and it poured starting at 530pm!!! Sooo stressful the whole drive back! Thankfully I prepared by mummifying the game in plastic wrap. When I got home and unwrapped the game was bone dry. Still waiting a day to power in though.

The pic was from before I started back.

Very interesting! I'm no expert, but I bet someone sells a device that could convert your 220 to the current used in the US so you could run a US version of the machine. Just a thought.

Yes they do. Mike of Homepin used to do them and may still.

I'll be wading my way thru all 10,000+ posts in this thread, but it will take a while.

Would anyone like to offer the most important modifications of adjustments to make to this pin (Pro incandescent model) when starting at factory default? I don't typically go crazy with mods, but I know it isn't uncommon for there to be a few essential mods or adjustments to make to pins to get them playing and looking good, and perhaps prevent breakage as well.

I just installed a Rev B shaker tonight, and I have a full set of Cliffy's on order to help prevent wear. I'll address the Sparky airballs using the suggestions offered a few posts above this one. Are there any other things I should look at right away? I'm not likely to do a full LED conversion.

If I only did one mod, it would be an external subwoofer. Cheap and changes the whole game!

They are available but some have reported patchy performance. The other issue is if you ever sell the game then you have to include the frequency converter with the pin.

I have a ton of mods on mine, but I'd add a color DMD first and foremost. MET's is one of tbe best too.

In my opinion, the three best mods you can add to a MET pro, not including protective mods such as clifffys, would be a shaker, ColorDMD and the Total Lightshow kit.

Agree 100%

Total Lightshow + the Sound package with spinners is amazing!

I can finally join the club.

Looks great!

Just curious, have any LE/premium owners replaced their bright white G.I. LEDs to warm white? I'm wondering how it looks. I have a pile of warm whites, just not the 555 wedge bulbs.

Anyone ever have their Sparky stop shaking? I tested the coil (one on back of the chair) in diagnostics and it doesn't work there either. Looks good physically, no broken wires and will test the transistor later. But just wondering if anyone had this issue before?

I haven't changed the color, only changed all of them to frosted, blue and red as well. If anything I would try swapping the cool white with sunlight white. Warm white might take away the changing light effect.

A wire on the scoop coil broke off today, but that was a quick fix. Was hoping to see a loose wire on the Sparky coil too.

If you move the metal plate closer to the magnet coil does it grab it? Sometimes th mech needs adjusted there is a little finger tab on the mech that might need bent back some

Has anyone experimented with replacing the songs with live versions? I think the game would be great with the same songs but from "live shit: binge and purge"

Hi everyone. I've blown two fuses at F8 recently. The most recent time was after getting the ball into the snake's mouth. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and what remedy was used to resolve it. Thank you.

Yup. I had to adjust mine. Never seem to work great even when I first got it. I played with the spring and bent the metal tab. You don't want to get the spring tight - it needs some slack. Somehow I got it dialed in and it works perfectly since. It doesn't seem like I changed that much but I guess a millimeter or so makes all the difference.

Loving my Metallica pro!!

I have been loving my new met pro, but I have been struggling to find a good strategy / angle to tackle the drop Targets in the cemetery. I usually try to launch off the right flipper and suggestions

I've been more successful lately backhanding with the left flipper. Tried that? Seems easier to control the rebound that way too.

I can backhand those drops all day long and seems to be a safer shot than using the right flipper.

You can try to nail the first one or two while ball save is running off the plunge. Otherwise I backhand them off the left flipper for the first couple at least. You can do them all by backhanding of course but I like to shoot the grave marker itself from the right flipper as I find that more fun/satisfying.

I back hand the drops. Safer shot. Right flipper can send ball flying around erratic and even right back to a center drain. Backhand many times can come back to left flipper control.

Thanks Fytr bridgeman ironic, as just Thor morning I tried backhanding it, much more predictable!! Love this game
