Technical Question.....
It’s only happened a couple times....
The ball would come out into the Shooter lane so hard that it would bounce off the side wood and go back down inside where it came from!
Unfortunately it happened but I had a very good score going on the second bo unfortunately it happened but I had a very good score going on the second ball!
Sometimes it searches for it but it’s not strong enough to kick it out .
is there anyway to adjust this or a way to kick the ball out safely manually?

#15920 5 years ago
Quoted from Rickwh:

I guess you could open coin door, and manually operate the trough plunger to pop a ball up into shooter lane. This happens infrequently, but my machines have never not had enough strength to push out a ball (usually both stacked up come out).
Alternatively you could take the glass off, use a telescopic magnet and stick it in the trough output and snag the top ball to put in shooter lane.

When this happens it doesn’t usually cycle through to find the ball unless, I’m not waiting long enough?
How much time does it usually take before it may start looking for the ball?

#15935 5 years ago

Thank you everyone for your input towards my trough question.
Now I have another.
Can someone tell me what this is or what the purpose of it is? It looks like an unfinished piece for something?
It’s clear and just to the left of the ramp return. I circled in red

Yes the clear post.
Are you saying in case the ball pops up on top of that plastic area?

#15939 5 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

Yeah. So it doesn’t get stuck up there.

Interesting. Thank you!

Quoted from bigcat68:

I'm fixing to join the club. I've got a NIB MET PRO LED on order.
Already ordered Snake fangs and tongue decal. I can only find the sparky airball protector at pinbits in a complete plastics set. Do y'all recommend the entire set or is just the sparky protector sufficient? Also do y'all like the pinbits green dress plastics, Mezel orange plastics or keep em original clear? Any help as to which is best and where can I find a single sparky protector?

I bought the green Pinbits Kit
I requested the clear sparky with itd which is a must!
I only installed the sparky and out lanes so far . I may just do the slings also.
After that , Im personally not getting involved with the rest after looking at it.
The green looks good on out lane and slings
I think the sparky needs to be clear imo.
If I was to do it all again, I’d just get all clear. Whatever you’re into.:
Have fun! Metallica is awesome!

Hat trick!!!!!!!!

#16062 5 years ago

Was thinking about adding the fang mod to the snake.
Can someone tell me if it’s an easy install?

#16064 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Dead simple. Do the tongue while you're at it if you haven't already.

OK great .thank you

#16068 5 years ago

Curious ,are there any sound differences between the PDI the HD and the tempered stock glass That comes with the machine?

#16071 5 years ago

Meaning.... does one tone down the playfield noise more then others?
If that makes sense

#16083 5 years ago

The strobe light over left ramp
Came out twice. Don’t remember seeing it get hit . Is there a trick to keeping it in the socket? I already tilted up a little more.

Also I’m having the stern flipper buzz happening on left flipper.
Does stern usually help with this at all?

Does anyone know if you can dim the flashers a little?
The first round flasher on the playfield under plastic behind the rising cross (premium) is killing me! I tried lowering it and I’m about to just drop it down below!

Quoted from KnockerPTSD:

I put a bendy and pointed away from my eyes. I did this with some of the piston area gi as well.

Yeah, I tried that move. Can’t get enough angle away.
I’m either gonna drop it a lot more with washers or put black tape over it. Unless there’s a dim feature

#16253 4 years ago

Curious..... How many people own this machine and are not a huge Metallica fan?
Me being one of them.
Love the premium!
