Don't you mean the size of the cards are 5 1/2 in. X 3in? Had someone measure his stock cards on his Met and he put them on a ruler grid and emailed me the pic's and it was 5 1/2 x 3 inch. Just a heads up before someone gets them the wrong size.

Now you need the fangs and the LED eyes, then the snake will be complete.

my premium will be here in a few days. I never played a pin with a shaker. I will report back after playing a few hours. Thursday or Friday.

Just got my premium on Wednesday10441979_10202005019516825_2409929823338726560_n.jpg10399983_10202005019276819_456455038672367179_n.jpg10527331_10202005007316520_5174351029717947404_n.jpg

Yes, a Polk PSW-10

Iam also noticing where the ball drops on the inlane switch blade from the right wire form ramp, it has bent it towards the side of the slot touching the wood. Can I bend this over, or do I have to replace it? The left ball drop in the inlane appears fine, but the right one when it drops off ramp, it slams the blade into the side of the cut out slot. Thanks.

I'll try it, thanks.

ya on there basic upgrade package they include purple powder coated wireform ramps as well. I'am enjoying mine. I do notice a flipper issue, but the flipper bat mayber the culprit. At rest, the left flipper sits higher then the right flipper bat, it is just above the playfield, where the left one is what i'am use to seeing. I pulled them both and everything seems ok, so not sure what is causing it to look off some. They are not the stock bats, they are chrome bats.

My Metallica premium is my only machine.

ya, I just wax around the area real good. I'am not to worried really. Level magnets with playfield and wax is key.

I'll have to post a pic. My concern obviously is that it don't drag, and it not real close, but it lowers then the left bat. I have not noticed any difference when the ball is hit of the bat. Seems to all be grounded on the playfield (no air balls off flippers) I'am gonna buy more bats and see whats the deal, as visually everything sseems like it should. My other though was maybe the playfield is a bit warped in this area, and make it seem higher. Anyone ever experience this? It the appearance that seems to bother me, but playing you forget about it!

ya, its great especially the hammer drop, best thing in pinball, when your sub. is cranked and you have a shaker, what an experience!!

sure bro anytime

I went ahead and disabled the diverter. I like this way, nice clean orbit shots, and if your good, you can hit the orbit consecutively a few times. I also lowered the number of hits, for coffin, grave marker, and sparky.

Sometimes I'am noticing that the Sparky magnet is not holding the ball when sparky gets electrocuted. When multi-ball is gonna start it will hold the ball then. Is this how its suppose to be, I cant remember, but noticed it over the weekend. Killer game!

cool, that's key learning what to shoot for, and my problem is Iam focused on keeping the balls alive instead of cradling a ball or two during multi- ball to line up a shot. crazy fun pin.

Where can I go to buy this mod?
What does it hook into? Take my money....

fixed and sold at auctions I would imagine. Beyond repair, I'd say spare parts machine!

got it, thanks man

Its my Metallica premium's bday today.
I only owned it since July, bought it new from Gio at pinball refinery.
He said he received quite a few metallicas built from Aug. 2013

I bought the MDM for Metallica from Sparky. Anyone on the fence, its an excellent mod for your metallica machine.

10347488_10202280220436676_2806572856165561338_n.jpg1920600_10202281306863836_2297810631167939556_n-759.jpg1932393_10202280222396725_8644899948344717138_n-51.jpg10533385_10202280220956689_5154549761928390008_n.jpg10003906_10202280218516628_2285431843805223762_n.jpg// Error: Image 277976 not found //

you'll like it. When your not playing, and its in attract mode, hit the right flipper button and hold it there for the jukebox mode select song, and watch the MDM. Its like watching a music video! Non pinball people gather and check it out, it draws them in, they wanna see more.

I noticed this as well,both corners of the ramps & the orbits corners. What product did you use on mteal ramps?

Does Metallica have a "Midnight Madness" or any other unique things when the clock strikes midnight? I know on some wpc games this madness happens.

Question:
On the first ball when you select the song, hold left flipper and plunge the ball, why does the song change?
I put in settings where it says"song locked on plunge" I put "yes", but when you select your song and plunge ball, it still changes the song. What am I doing wrong?

Also any important things in settings/dianostics I should change? I don't know half the stuff in the settings, so some help is needed and appreciated. Game is a monsters premium.

I'am wondering about this too, as it was always like this on the very first code, and they have not changed it yet! It's minor, but curious what happen there.

yes, press start button, select song, then hold left flipper button (for the skill shot) and plunge ball. When I do this it changes the song, but on ball 2 and 3 it don't change song, just on the first ball.

How do you know the numbers on the sub.? My polk only has hash marks, not numbers. You said 44-46, do you mean the volume on the machine itself?

nice man, I got the monster premium and it was my first NIB as well.

What made me look closer at this, was because of the ball coming right back at the flipper when the shot is made up there .Can you all check left ramp and ball guide there on left side/ If you look in the pic's you can see the issue. It must have been installed like this from factory, I only had this game since July, about 200 plays or so. That guard rail is bent all the way down. Tried bending with fingers but she not budging. No way ball strikes did this on such little plays. The edge of ramp is getting direct hits and is starting to get bashed.

1911881_10202497860957553_4524089016807119837_n.jpg

10171850_10202497861637570_4699208156158493672_n.jpg

I wonder if loosening those two wooden screws on the ramp flap would allow me to slide it over some. If you see my pic, it seems it could slide some to the left which will put the edge lined up with the guard rail. Would I need to make new holes under the ramp flap after adjustment?
Thanks

I will have to look to see if its bolted. If it is, how do I go about straightening it out?

Haven't checked yet, but your saying the guard rail is secured from under the playfield with nuts? I though these were hammered into the playfield. Anyways If I don't have a vise, what other options is there to straighten it? Would Stern replace something like this?

I sent an inquiry to Stern to see what they say.

No it doesn't not go through the playfield. It was advised not to try and remove, the only option here is to bend it in place where it is. Gonna try locking pliers, with some tape and a rag on the rail to not to do damage, and get the pliers on there and bend it slowly. Gonna attempt without removing anything, it has some space.

I have had something like this happen twice, but the ball was not stuck to the captive ball, it was stuck in the middle between the captive ball and casket magnet, so when hammer came down the ball still went in the casket, weird, but has only happened twice out of a lot of plays.

Can't seem to rack up a lot of points, only been to 2 CIU modes, only can get Blackend and Lady Justice going. I have not gotten to S&D or any other modes. I did get to FUEL mode, but have no idea how I did it. Fun game though, as I'am still learning the rules. My highest score is 270million and change. I see a lot of people with 400 million plus scores or better, would like to be up in this bracket as scores go.

I'am not hearing any songs at the end of games, it does its light show and that's it.
It plays the whole song of Unforgiven?

What should I change it too to get other modes? I don't get it, so in the wild/route you wont get S&D unless the OP changed a setting? Help me understand Rick, thanks in advance.

would you L.E./premium owners replace your hammer with this? I was wondering if any modders would do a replacement, but this is not what I expected!

ebay.com link: Metallica Pinball Hammer Replacement Mod Premium LE

Hi guys, loving this great game.
I have noticed my last two games the ball has gotten stuck/hung up on the snake jaw and the stand up target next to it. A shake of the machine would not release it, always have to slide the glass and free it with a finger. It never did this before, and nothing looks as its out of adjustment. Kinda weird it JUST started doing this. It did it only 3 times, all 3 and my last two games, and I played 7 altogether last night. Snake was adjusted by distributuor when I bought it new and had other things put on. Had machine since 2nd of July.

No, it hasn't moved none. I was thinking that as well, but its still the same. It is abit over toward the right to clear for snake shot, has always been like this. Just weird it started doing this, never a problem with stuck ball there. I do have to change the setting where you get the ball back if you have to pull the glass. My wife finally made it to her first CIU mode, and then it got stuck, ball 3 to, ended her game, she was pissed. She tried rocking the machine side to side, but it wouldn't release. I really didn't like seeing the machine on 2 legs back and forth, I guess it did no harm, game didn't tilt, just DANGER kept coming on. What do you do when a stuck ball occurs on any machione shake the machine or just open up the glass to release ball?

Heres some pic's. Where the black " X " is, that's where the ball gets hung up.10418365_10202644919993937_1835941185862354893_n.jpg10516850_10202644920313945_2105350871150556336_n.jpg10600483_10202644921833983_8922117753046746294_n.jpg

The ball gets hung up the right side up against the post and standup target while its sitting in the right corner of the snake bottom jaw.

That is a bigger mini post super band then the black one I replaced it with.

Agree.

There is some on ebay available, and I see the prices have gone up quite abit since I got my monsters premium.

What are those setting numbers? I agree it does take awhile to get going, a few adjustments like you mentioned more "variety".

6.5 degrees. Not sure what you mean about the snake stack. I'am changing balls out now, I have noticed about 3 times where they stick to the captive ball sometimes. Put balls in back in july when got the game, PBL's oh shinny ones.

changed out the balls, played several games and it didn't happen again. Even tried to duplicate it by hand and couldn't. If I adjust those targets then they will be off centered. They are pretty much straight up and down.

Where can the target go 85vette? ? It looks even and straight to me. I made sure Gio at PR centered and straighten them, out of the box, they were leaning real bad. What does yours look like or anyone elses look like? I will get those splints from metzelmods, in time, for peace of mind. Thanks for the help.

10418365_10202644919993937_1835941185862354893_n.jpg

I have never gotten to Search and Destroy, its kinda frustrating to always get Lady Justice and Blackend and maybe get to one CIU and drain. I know I suck, but High score so far is 270 million have no idea what happened or how I got it. Things get crazy during multi-ball, I gotta cradle during multi-ball more, I don't, so the madness continues. Its fun game, even though I not scoring much, or seeing any other modes.

My magnets all stopped working. All the sudden the coffin magnet grabbed the ball, held it and the hammer never went down, and the magnet just kept holding it, then after it released it, ALL magnets in the game no longer work. Game does have the upgraded magnet board as I checked the Stern website and matched up my serial numbers. Any idea where to look? Has this happened to anyone elses Metallica? Thanks

All your magnets go out (all 3) at once? Thanks, just got back from Radio Shack, 4A slow blow fuses. Busy today, but will try and get to it tonight or the morning. What would have caused it to blow? Thanks for reply Roostking.

So, just a quick update, pulled the backglass and powered up the machine. F7 fuse LED was out, pulled the fuse and put in a new 4A slo blo, and powered machine on, and the fuse got bright red and blew! So I called Stern, spoke to Chaz, he had me unplug the main plug on the magnet board, put a new fuse in F7 and turn machine on, and the fuse did NOT blow. So Chaz says its the magnet board, and there sending another board to me. Keep in mind this was the upgraded board installed at factory, my serial number and Chaz had me check for a red dot on the I.C., and there was one. So I got a bad one, or did I over power it when I switched setting adjustment #89 abort hammer?The default is yes, I switched it to NO, and like 10 games later this happened. Would changing this setting overloaded the circuit? The hammer was getting more action when I change that setting. Someone on pinside here, said to change #89 adjustments to NO and no more problems with hammer, my hammer was fine and so was the magnet, but sometimes it would act up so I changed it anyway, cuz the responses from other pinsiders saying no more phantom strikes, and magnet grabbing stronger, made me want to do it. Or its just a bad board, it happens with mass produced things. Excellent customer service from Stern, and Gio at Pinball Refinery! Top notch all around!

you having issues now?

After magnets stopped working, and I was trying to get the test the coffin magnet, the hammer never wanted to come down, just the captive ball hits just counted up NO hammer strikes. I figure if there is no initial magnet grab on the ball, then there would be NO signal sent to hammer to strike, without that grab of the magnet, no hammer strikes. Before the issues, the coffin magnet would grab the ball, but release ball early and the hammer came down striking nothing, that happened only 2 times. I never seen the hammer just come down for no reason, unless, like I said there was an initial grab by magnet.

I thought the samething, but run your hand on the playfield, it should be smooth. At certain angles where light hits the playfield, mine looks wavy, and inserts like you said, then at other angles you see smoothness. Took my hand and ran across where I see this and its smooth. Iam gonna say normal, if its smooth. If its bumpy, grainy feel (orange peel texture) then no, not normal.

I ordered it late June, received it July 2nd this year.
Marcos also sells these magnet boards as well.$70

I received the magnet board replacement from Stern, installed it, and magnets really working good, better then when I got the machine new. So the board was faulty from the get go from factory, it was the upgraded board that failed.

Might want to put some mylar over the tongue. Had mine 4 months and seen wear on the tongue, so touched it up and put mylar over it. Just a heads up, as the ball skids on this decal into the snakes mouth.

No protective piece for Sparky with Pinbits protectors $25 kit. I got this kit and only put on the sling protectors. No piece for Sparky, But Rickwh, makes a Sparky protector, I bought one off him $5 shipped, just haven't installed it yet. Its regular clear piece not yellow like in the above photo though.

Just watched the entire video, and ya, that Cliffy protector is launching the ball. I don't get that happening on mine, I don't use those protectors, just wax around the areas is plenty good for the home environment!

Just had replace mine (magnet board) Before the original went out was getting phantom hits, just a few, then soon after, F7 fuse blew and no magnets working, Stern sent me new magnet board and the magnets are working better then when I got the game new, but phantom strikes have happened twice in about 20 games. Even with a few phantom hits, this hammer is the coolest thing in pinball. Hammering pinballs into the playfield in a casket, epic, and, with the Polk sub, it really rumbles!

Yes Rick, the balls come out of coffin and shoot out from mystery scoop. All balls shoot at the left flipper.

Hi all, prem./L.E. owners, I'am getting bounce backs on the left spinner. Shoot the ball at the left spinner and it bounces back making a "clunk noise." Now, The spinner itself at rest, is not straight up and down, kinda tilted up at the bottom. I checked some of your photos and other Prem./ L.E.'s machines, and all seem like mine. Just wonder if this is normal, happens every game the left spinner rejects the ball, and of course sometimes it doesn't. Normal?

I also have a MDM display for sale if anyone is interested, $75 shipped

So is anyone having the left spinner rejecting shot? I shoot the ball up there and the spinner kinda flip up some and the ball gets bounce back. Any ideas to fix/adjust? I checked other Metallica machines pic's and it looks the same. Want to know if anyone is experiencing this. Aurich or anyone else having this issue? Thanks

My wire actually goes into the helmet. Gio at PBR said it looks better this way, so I gave him the go on it, not sure what he used to secure the wire in there but it hasn't came out.

yes Metallica owners, there is no need for that clear piece of plastic over the wireform. Mine has been removed since September and not one issue. Its a lot cleaner look to the game.

gotta pic? Who sells aluminum flipper bats?

spins freely, just it does not sit vertical straight up and down when its at rest.. The bottom is lifted up some when spinner is a rest, so when a shot to the spinner happens it appears the ball hits in the lifted part of spinner, a clunk noise is heard and the ball rolls back to the flippers. It does not do this all the time, but it does do it every game, since I got it new. I seen pictures of other Metallica tables and the spinner isn't vertically straight up and down either, all seemed to lift up abit when at rest. It real frustrating to hear it go "clunk" and the ball comes back to the flippers. Don't know what adjustment can be made to level the spinner, anyone else have this issue?

Hey RickH, finally put on the airball deflector.
Both holes did not line up, so had to use the dremel for a few seconds on each hole, its all good. Hex post and the lock nut cover up the imperfections of the bigger holes I made. 15 min.sparky.jpg

Trouble with the left spinner rejecting the ball, and bounce out back to flippers. Here's a pic. Nothing I see is the culprit, except maybe the spinner is not centered in the lane, its abit more towards the rail, but far enough where its not hitting. What do you see in the pic that looks NOT right or needs adjusting? Thanks

Thanks for doing this for our Metallica's Rick! Much appreciated!

That doesn't matter if its a new board or not. Mine had the new board in it, and it still failed. Thankfully Stern sent me a free replacement, but ya that little pink or red dot means squat.

Whats on the hammer? Did you make it? Looks cool!

I haven't had any issues, you may have to adjust your wireform ramp. I helped someone at there house and he removed the guard, played some games, the ball was jumping off the ramp, adjusted the wireform ramp and 200 plays later his isn't jumping off, his is a pro. I have 300 plays on mine since removing it (premium) with no issues either.

Theres the nut on the sling and another above CIU, loosen them and you can move the ramp around a bit. Adjusting it was what worked on my buddies pro. I haven't had to adjust nothing and zero issues. Just my experience is all. I'am at 6.5 and leveled as well.

Real nice man, real fricken nice! You do awesome work Aurich!

Anyone know if anymore code updates are coming out for our machines?

Sparky is sold!

My Metallica, I turned it on and barely have sound coming out of the backbox speakers, cabinet speaker, and my external sub is not working, but is on. I checked wiring and all and nothing. I have my volume at 42 always and it loud but now I have to max out volume just to get sound and it barely coming out.

Also have an opto switch problem, Grave Marker opto is out of service, not sure what to do here. Any ideas on what to check on this? The lights are on, but the notice is on the DMD saying "out of service"

Thanks in advance

I figured that back hand shot out, back hand left flipper to drop target and nail it, ball comes back down, cradle and back hand again, repeat and start the gravemarker multiball. Did all this consecutively in a game, now I can do it all the time.

I had not played my machine for like 3 weeks, and when I went to play it last week I noticed it was having a sound issue on my Premium. Volume is up at 45, and we all know that's a good level, nice and loud, nope sounds like its at 20, Polk sub barely thumps. All speakers work, but just not loud. So I pulled J10 and reseated and no improvement. So called my distributor, he said its sound like a bad CPU board, for me to call Chaz at Stern's tech. support. So I contacted Chaz, he walked me through some things, and he determined it was a bad CPU. So under warranty they are sending me a new CPU on there dime. So far I have had to change the magnet board (which was already the updated version) already a few months back, and now have to change the CPU board on a 6 month old game. Yes it was built on a Monday as well, lol. I checked the date. Aug. 13, 2013 was a Monday.

Anyone else have this issue with there Metallica sound? Cant be a an isolated issue, cuz Chaz said they had to do exchange quite a few. Corrupted Ram I guess on the board.

So just waiting for it to come, next week probably.

Also my optos were giving me service alerts, but while playing the optos were fine. Game was spazzing out with service alert notices, but they all worked. So I reset back to factory default settings and the service alerts were gone. Still love this game, no matter I have to repair, change a board, still very fun, has not gotten boring at all.

That doesn't matter if its a new board or not. My new upgraded board that came with my premium, fried the fuse and needed a new board. Chaz at Stern told me if there is a red dot on the board its an upgraded one. told yep, there is a red dot. So just because the board if upgraded one don't mean nothing really, as mine if proof they do screw up and fry a fuse and you need new board. Stern sent me a new magnet board and all is well with that.

Got my CPU board, just haven't installed it yet. Will I have to do the code in the new CPU? I this a hard job to swap out the old to the new board? Reason my CPU board is bad is my sound would not got up, stayed very low even at max, and my Polk just lightly thumped at full max volume. Anyone have this issue? Chaz had me diagnose some things before he was determined I needed a new board. I have to admit, I'am real intimidated on doing this board swap. With pinball refinery having the light board and all the other stuff plugged in, is making it seem real difficult. The light board doesn't not have enough wire lead to get the board out the way, as it just sits on the other side of DMD (leaned up against it) while removed. Its as far as it will go with short wire leads, with they were longer. Oh well, I will get to it eventually. Been over a month and haven't played my metallica.

20122_10203661869697044_9180524810072312980_n.jpgSince owning my Metallica premium since July, I have had to replace magnet board and CPU board on the machine. Matter of fact, I just did the CPU swap a few days ago, my machine was down for months. If you notice in the picture the ROM on the board is AC/DC, the ROM on original board just said "pinball boost" , Oh well it works, got it fixed and I have sound again. Both times Stern covered the boards. I want in on the colorDMD, I read someone bought a colorDMD already? So they are out now? If not, why are people buying now? Fill me in, post a link to where to buy? Thanks

Sweet! So you can get the display which is $399 and when the color firmware comes out you just get the downloaded firmware for free? I gotta get this!

I had it since February to install, just got it done on Sunday, lol.

I haven't heard this one on Metallica. Mine is clear as glass. Probably a bad batch of plastics, it happens.

I did this over the weekend! Should have done it a long time ago. Free mods are nice, the left spotlight socket is re-routed to light up FUEL target area. With the spotlights removed, you can actually enjoy the slingshot art, and lighting a lot more. Those spotlights are useless on the slings. No sneeze guard either, not needed, never had a problem.

While playing last night, the magnet for the coffin lock "glitched!" It went into the playfield leaving the hole open, then the ball rolllled by, and just went into the hole, then the hammer came down. Things were normal from there the rest of night. Real weird. I already had to replace the upgraded magnet board once from Stern.

Dark? Hardly the case. Bad pic's from phone camera, not dark in person. The spotlights with all that I read from other owners with the hassels of loose posts, bulbs fallen out, etc. None of those things happened to my game, I just think they barely provided any useable light. Removing them was one of the best things I did to improve the look of the game. The spotlight that shines on the snake is a good spotlight and provides a purpose for its existence, where the slingshot spotlights did not. I don't like pinball machines with anything on the slingshots, not flasher domes, or spotlights, its just my preference is all. You actually can appreciate the art on the slings better, cleaner look. The blue on the tip of the slings really pop's now without the spotlight washing it out. At my house everyone likes the spots removed and how the slingshot plastic now pops with the blue. No worries, it don't effect game play at all, and it can be easily replaced, but it never will.

I even removed the "sneeze guard" over the right wire ramp (I did this back in September). I have had ZERO issues with it gone. Again, its a much cleaner look. 8 months with it gone, no problems. Just removing unnecessary things is all. Game really looks better with all that crap off the playfield. Thanks Sparky for the idea on the spotlights removal you were so right. I did route the left spotlight socket up under the FUEL target so it now lights up red, cant beat free mod. I have a purple flasher under the scoop, so gonna have to extend the wire to reach the snake and put a green bulb in for that. Thanks again for the recommendation. I really don't see any other useless things to remove on the machine so I think were good now.

More songs would be a plus! Some of there "garage days" stuff.
If there is no more updates, then I would be good with how it is now! Fun game!

Hey Rick, can you do different colors? I like your clear, but can see blue would look good up there in that area.

eh, my niece had a bunch of bracelets on while playing and she kinda put some surface scrathes on around the flipper area. Most part it buffed out, I used Carnauba wax on the powder coat, not sure what others use on there powder to shine it up and remove scratches, would like to know?
Sucks I have to make sure NEXT time take off those 30 bracelets if you wanna play my machine. Its all powdered candy purple and looks real nice. The creeping death speaker panel and side panels look great and blend well with purple armor.

Here is a picture taken at Gio's place (Pinball Refinery) before he shipped my machine to me. Apron and wireform ramps all candy purple powder coated, side rails, legs and hinges. I'am not sure who he used to powder but looks real good. Only issue is on the lock down bar has 2 divots on each side, kinda wished they filled those in before the powder, but you really cant see it unless you look for it. Looks amazing in person. Glad I had the coin at the time to go all out, cuz Metallica premium is deserving for this.

untitled4 (2).png

His protector is awesome! Congrats on the game it is one of the best IMO. Shaker motor is a must have, and works well in this game. Play and enjoy it. I have dimples, we all have dimples, will admit, after adding Rick's protector the dimples have stopped some.

One thing that pisses me off, is when people play your game, and your trying to tell them what to shoot for and objectives and they don't care just want to bang the ball around aimlessly. Ya, that's my wife last night and gets Grand Champion score. She is one of those players that just keep the ball alive and don't shoot at targets purposely. She got 2 CIU's last night, and she had no idea how she did it. Its the way she plays pinball, its how she enjoys it. She said if she had to think about hitting this target and that target, then its stressful and not fun for her. Wildly hitting the ball is fun to her. So be it then, I'am glad she loves playing pinball, and she likes Metallica's music. Just pissed she took GC on that style of play. Oh well, I'am not that mad.

That's the only protector on my game. PR (Gio) added a little more clear around the edges of the scoop. Almost a year of owning, and no wear at all. Some go overkill with protectors on new games, but its there games.

Are you selling those hammers, just curious, maybe interested in one in the future. You have some talent their Aurich glad theres people like yourself out there making things to personalize our games. Your translites are top notch that you did for ST.

Those who have had the machine for a year now or more, have you had to do a flipper rebuild yet? If so, whats the link to get a kit? My flippers work great, I just like having parts readily available when needed. The price for this kit is ridiculous for a rebuild......ebay.com link: 2012 Stern Metallica Flipper Assembly Rebuild Kit for 2 Flipper Assemblies

congrats to you man!

thanks, much appreciated.

That's badass! Where you getting them custom apron cards?

So was just on colordmd's website, and apparently there is only a pre oreder and the ROM isn't even in the "support" area where other game ROM's are.

My playfield don't line up when lowering back into place. I literately have to slam it into place. Is that normal? I ask cuz its my first Stern so not sure. It sure is a "clunky" process with quite a few bumps before you can lower it. I really dred lifting the playfield, and I shouldn't feel that way. Any easy adjustments to line it up? The 2 hooks on the playfield when lowered gently, miss the slots on the cabinet by like 1/8-1/2 inch, I then lift it up abit and SLAM it down and it goes in, but only if I SLAM it. Its always been like this. I had asked someone about this, and they said normal, but I don't think so. I is a PITA. I dont lift the playfield up much, but like to get it right, but not sure how, or where to begin. Any help from fellow owners is needed and appreciated!

yep, the two hooks. I never had a Stern, so I'am trying to get use to it. Trying all kinds of different ways to do this. Its so clunky, bump, bump, stop, lift and lower, then lift and slam it in.

I'll have to try this, thanks

Yes that's the one to get. The other one was designed to cover worn scoop holes on older games!
