Was at my buddies place last night, he has ACDC and MET. I noticed that the songs on ACDC were very predominant when playing (you could hear the music more over any other sounds such as callouts). On the MET, it's opposite. Songs seem very low compared to everything else going on. I tried playing with his settings but didn't find much of a difference overall.

What settings would most recommend so that the music stands out more?

Awesome. Thanks for the help. Sounds much better now!

Picking up a NIB MET Premium tomorrow. So f'n stoked.

Well, got my MET today, right now trying to install the shaker but cannot find the connecter to give it power........I've looked through all the wires around the front of the cab, pulled the harnesses out of the plastic holsters, still no connector. Any suggestions??

Found the ground.....but still looking for the 4 pin connector.

Sparky, I know how to install the shaker...it's all done. Last step is this missing connector!! Grrrr

I think it's the brown connector I'm missing then....going to hunt!

I haven't had to buy a shaker in quite a while. This one is used, so now I'm wondering if I'm missing a wire?

The one from the motor itself is there. Should it have come with another one to plug into the board and then run towards the back of the cab and plug into a molex? Or, should there be a wire from the pin itself that should reach the shaker board?

Thanks for all your help guys, much appreciated.

Mystery solved....I did not receive that wire!

Since mine is a new build.....I'm wondering if they're doing something different now. Because I was able to find a wire that is tagged to plug into J1, but it's only a two pin connector. I'll take a pic and post later on.

Odd......my NIB Premium, built in Nov 16, PF date stamp of Apr 16. Hopefully that's before they started having issues??

Question. New Premium. When I shoot the orbit shot, either left or right, the divertor (the white plastic post) continuously pops up, stopping the ball from making a full orbit. Is this normal?

Was just gonna start a game (played last night with no problem). Turn it on......and all I hear is the sound of the post inside the coffin, going up and down. There's a ball in there. Fiddled around a bit trying to get it out, now have this error. "Device Malfunction Coffin Lockup".

Any suggestions folks??

Tried clearing it out....same thing, the plunger just keeps going up and down, with no result.

I have the exact issue with the holes not lining up. One side is fine, other, nope!

Was able to adjust the bracket enough that when the plunger drops, there's enough room for the balls to get out of the coffin. But the problem still persists. When I turn the pin on that plunger in the coffin goes off about 5-6 times, stops and I get the device malfunction tech alert. I've checked the wires, unplugged at the molex, plugged back in. Turn the pin on, same behaviour.

I've got an e-mail into Chas and my disto, but I'd really like to get this pin up and running sooner rather than later. Any tips folks?

Again, here is the error I'm getting.

So, once the balls are in the coffin trough and multiball is supposed to start, a ball kicks out of the regular ball trough, but thats it. None release from the coffin. When I power the game off and back on, the coffin spits out the balls and the plunger continues to fire 5-6 times, then goes into the Tech Alert.

Here's the coil going to the plunger.

If your PF is gonna ghost, it's gonna ghost. Cliffy's won't protect that! I just picked up a NIB MET as well, playing the hell out of it. Cliffy's are on the way, but I'm enjoying the pin all the same!

Hi all. Hope someone can help!

Just got the powerbladez. Left side, no problem, fits like a glove. One on the right however is a little long and extends over the washer that serves as a ground for the flipper button. Is this going to be a problem (Pics attached, showing it touch the end by the head,, and the existing over lap onto the washer).

Secondly, I didn't receive instructions for the speaker panel. Just looked at Pingraffix' website, no instructions there either. Can someone tell me where I plug this molex into? Also, for the pins that plug into the blade itself, do they have to be a certain way? I.E. where should the red wire be?

Thanks so much in advance.

Thanks so much Cole. Very helpful.

Success with the speaker panel blade. No success with the cab panels though. I've tried every variation of hooking up with the harness, all to no avail. Here's how I hooked it up, anyone notice anything off? And yes, I ensured to turn the box on.

I did, and indeed there is a fuse there. I also checked the voltage coming out of the 120V that the control box plugs into as recommended by Joe. Reads 121.6 so that's good too.

Now, when I took these out of the box and started getting ready to install, I noticed that back of them didn't look very good and am now wondering if that is the issue. Sent an e-mail to Joe yesterday, waiting on a response. I know everyones busy.

No worries. But thanks much for letting me (and him) know.

Just to follow up. Joe (and the gang from Pingraffix) are awesome. Just got an e-mail from Joe, they are going to expedite new ones out, and cover the shipping for me to send the defective ones back.

Top notch customer service right there!

Hmm, interesting shot. Didn't know it existed. However, on my MET, when I plunge the post pops up, stops the ball and sends it back to the lanes. Is this not normal?

Thanks very much for the tip!

Question folks. I installed the post from PBL in my MET. Works like a charm now when I shoot up the left orbit, where it will deaden the balls movement and drop to the inlanes. However, when I plunge or shoot the ball up the right orbit, it typically bounces and comes right back down the right orbit.

Any suggestions?

Thanks much in advance.

Isn't it supposed to only be flush at certain times? For example, when you're starting a ball, I know it's supposed to be up isn't it??

But yes, it is flush at all other times. No problem making full orbits when it's supposed to

You are correct in your assumption! No wiggle room, nice and solid.

I'm having this issue as well, but when the ball approaches from the right (either via auto-launch from shooter lane or if I hit it up the right lane). Works perfectly when ball approaches from the left lane.

Question.....how do you adjust the height of the plunger?

Thanks Nexyss

Hoping for some help/guidance folks.

Snake stopped working. During gameplay the jaw won't lift, resulting in no hits registering, and when the ball goes in the snakes mouth, goes into ball search until eventually spit out. When I go into the snake test, everything works as it should. I've tried "Closing" the mouth in the test, then launching into a game. As soon as I do, the jaw drops. No clue what is going on.

Having said this, while inspecting the snake, I noticed that (what I assume to be) a pin is missing from the snakes tongue on the right hand side which would secure it to the jaw, although I don't really see this causing the issue thought I would disclose that here as well. (Pic attached).

Thanks for any assistance!

Nope, they should come out in close succession of each other. I'm having the same issue with mine, except sometimes they get hung up all together and I have to manually get 'em out. Following to see what others have to say about the fix. Been an intermittent issue with mine for quite a while now.

Excellent suggestion. I'll try that.

85vett thanks for the response.

Figured out the switch that should be triggered when the ball goes in the mouth wasn't registering. No matter what I tried, no luck. Took the whole snake mechanism out of the pin (what a bitch to get out and back in). Anyway, all switches working fine once I tested with the snake removed from the PF.

Back in, now it registers when ball is in the mouth. But now I have another problem (I think). All I have to do is hit the jaw ONCE now when it's closed, then it drops and I can shoot the ball into the mouth. Pretty sure I used to have to hit it at least three times before the jaw would drop enabling me to shoot it into the mouth. Wash rinse and repeat around 5 times in order to launch Snake MB.

Thanks. Guess my MET has just gotten easier to reach Snake MB on!! LOL

I've hunted high and low for a fix...couldn't find one so apologies in advance if I missed a fix.

Problem: Dreaded F7 fuse blows once I turn on the pin. This started back in January and managed to get a replacement board. Things worked fine for a while. Then last month same thing. Chas graciously shipped me another board which I've just installed, and the problem persists.

Trouble-Shooting Completed: checked the ohms at the coffin magnet (reads 4.5) and checked the continuity in the wire going from the coffin magnet to the magnet PCB. Checks out fine.

Any ideas?

Well...must be Gremlins. Just got home from work, decided to take a look at the fuses. Put in another new fuse, working like a charm. Only thing I can figure is the new fuse I put in yesterday may have been burnt already. Guess maybe a good idea to test them before putting in. Weird!!

My MET Premium started acting up about a month ago. Some times (most of the time), all the GI's start flashing very quickly, this happens in attract mode as well as during game play. Very distracting. Also, don't know if it's connected somehow, but randomly during gameplay, graveyard multiball will start meanwhile, no targets have been knocked down so there just isn't any way to justify it starting. Any suggestions folks?

Thanks Neal_W I did a search in the thread....but not on the forums. Thanks again.
