Bad to the Bone bud

I have not heard of this , thanks for the heads up .On another note ,when I first knew I wanted to get in pinball , a friends brother gave me his first run Met pro to sell. I wasn’t ready to purchase a pin just yet and he didn’t want to throw any money in it .I just tinkered ,cleared some switches and cleaned it as best I could .Ever since that pin sold I knew it was a must have and knew it would be a keeper , so I went for some pins that would be more attractive to my wife to ease her in to this face paced hobby .Fast forward to this past Saturday and I finally got “Made” thanks to Brobra! He found me a top shelf prem and took away my LZprem (I’ll be hunting down a LE when I can swing it ).Can’t even describe how much fun we’ve been having .I gave it a good cleaning/waxing today and it just exploded .I have some reading to do but I’m fucking stoked to add this to the lineup .I mean FUCKING STOKED!!!!!

Thanks Roost ! I’m shaking with excitement

Man that chrome looks sweet ! I need to get some voodoo glass ASAP

Hey Joe .I’ve ordered from you multiple times and will always as you guys rock .I’m trying to find info on settings as I purchased that pin in the post above with them installed already .I have a small button controller that I’m not sure if it’s for the blades or not .After seeing these live now I want them for my IMDN but want to understand them first .If you can send something to me I’d appreciate it and to all Met owners look long and hard at these as the videos do not do it Justice .They add so much !

This thing ?

Maybe for the pinstadiums .

Hey guys .I have a couple hrs before returning to work again and about to pull up the PF.The problem is last ball drains ,then the game just keeps looking for the ball that’s gone .I’ll start reseating the trough opto but if any suggestions will be welcomed as I would love to get a couple in with the kids before going back in .

I second that .

Thanks guys .There seemed to be a wire floating where it shouldn’t have been .It was to the light under the apron art .I swung it up and taped it and the problem was gone .Got a few in before work .I’m so fucking happy to finally own one !

Dido

I will thank you

God Bless LFS and God Bless MET pinball !!! First good game today ,445 ,made sparky (2) ,snake ,cross ,and hammer MBs n played bell roles n another !!! This game really makes you earn everything !! I fucking love it !!!!

My kids do too ,but I might have to adjust some settings until they understand the code .They’re over the show and want higher scores now .What would you suggest to make easier and is there a way to easily flip back n forth from stock to what I set ? Any input would be welcomed .

They won’t get bored of this one but I just want them to play deeper a few times until they get it .

My boys are like me .They gravitate toward Rock pins .Honestly is there any better theme ? If they’re having a hard time knowing what they’re going for I usually make it easier just until they understand the bulk of the rules then back to factory settings immediately .Myself I like to take the glass off and toss the ball around until I get it then strap it in .MET with the insert pickups is incredible ! This pin just had everything you want!

I really don’t want to be that old man calling kids “whipper snappers “ but here I am Lmao !

Looking for some help .I’ve been looking for the Sparky flasher lamps (premium version not sure if they’re different ) .I have a bunch of backup lamps that came with it but not these and do not see them in Marcos catalog or anywhere else Ive been looking .

Maybe one of these ?

Lmao

I was wondering about how the ice blue colors look.Won’t hurt to order a variety bag .Thanks guys

Thank you .

Note to self ……If ball gets stuck under hammer DO NOT stick your finger in there to give it a nudge !!!

It looks fine

No just stole a pic .But man did it get me .I guess I got bit by the snake

I thought I was quick enough .How wrong I was lmao .That friken hurt !

What a Fing pin though !! The code is different than others for sure .I’m really liking the collecting (cross,elec,etc)part although not 100% sure how it works yet .Nothing better than when you get a good one rolling with this pin .Upgraded sound and voodoo glass are high on my list now since it’s not going anywhere .

Yes that is making sense now .I didn’t know there was a sequence to it ,thank you

I’ve had a few real deep games I had to take the glass off and toss the ball around with rules printed out .This works well for people like us lmao .Give it a try it will help for sure .

looking for help .All magnets stopped working all at once .Has this happened to anyone ?

Bad fuse all good .

I’m having trouble finding this lamp in the manual .Did this come from the factory or an add on ? Is this a flasher ? I purchased some new wedge lamps from comet and cannot get it to work .I will get more into it tomorrow but was just trying to get some more info before I deep dive .

A5C5B9CE-E3AF-432D-80B8-C3034C05D799 (resized).jpeg

This is what I used. Does this seem correct to you ? Just want to get the lamp right before I start looking at the connections .

Ok thanks Dee -Bow

I ordered different colors to see what looked best but I just noticed the one I took out had wires (would correct term be leads ?) on both sides .These have only the one side .What would be the correct way to order with both ?

I figured since backbox was white flashers either blue ,purple or lime green would add some “spark “.

I was really stoked to get this one .The powder coat looks black until your close with light on it .

Funny day .Needed a 4A fuse for the magnets .3 stops nobody had it .The 4th also didn’t have them but I found a single variety pack that had 1 in it .Problem solved .Flasher 112-5041-08 looks to be a steeper hill to climb I’m pretty sure I’ve already hunted for these with nothing to show .I’m on it again and if I find them I’ll buy the lot so nobody goes through this again lmfao !

Thank you .I never noticed that .I’m guessing the previous owner wanted the extra space to hit Sparky.I’m doing a full “shop” soon and was up in the air about a sound upgrade .Some get by with a sub and others need more .What’s the popular opinion on what matches with Met ? I’m not a overboard guy but want what’s right for this keeper .I’ve also heard of a system that will take up to 5 pins .We always play one at a time here so this interests me as you can see rock pins are our fav !

No I purchased it via Brobra .He got it from a downtown Chicago business .I’ll reach out and see if he can find out .It’s really cool in person as you walk up to it .

Maide n is getting air brushed as soon as I can make up my mind on what to get on it .

Yeah Buddy !! Took a couple years for me to finally get one

Was looking for some help .I’m giving my precious a makeover and while installing Mezels cemetery mod , I got a little stumped .This new flasher (to right of yellow circle) will poke through to the top side p/f but the other (circled) I’m guessing push the connection through to top side then fold wire back to underside ? It has to connect to harness I fed from the top (arch) .Any help much appreciated and for the guy who asked about the color of my powder coat I’m still waiting on a answer I’ll lyk as soon as can .

E0AD09B6-8ABB-4EF9-99A2-D3F9BF758053 (resized).jpeg

Yes .I’m guessing I don’t need to feed the wires from the arch under the playfield .

The new flasher (that’s extended) will stick up through the PF .It’s the other wires with the connection that I’m not sure about because it has to come back down per instructions and they protrude out of the top and has another connect real close to housing .So I’m guessing get the connection up top then bend wires back down through hole ?

Looking for some more help .Im down to this I hope .Does anyone know if this purple wire gets seated here ? I stripped the end ,it was just hanging there straight cut .

467EE9B5-EED3-4DC9-8B56-F1F41546D711 (resized).jpeg

Yeah I seated that like the rest after seeing the solder broke .Main issue is just fuses blown for GI .Don’t have that size right now but ordered with a solder rod station .Thanks .

On another note , thanks to the guy who posted the black leather T mold .Looks like it belongs !!

congrats !!

Looking for some help .I purchased my Met used and it came with pinstadiums. The back box lights , apron flashers ,apron art lights and GI lightning have never worked .I thought fuses but they’re all fine .Is GI lighting disconnected for these things? That’s what I thought this whole time but it doesn’t make sense.

Also this black line , I can’t find its partner .I’m guessing with all these alligator clips I’m dealing with Frankenstein .OCD is kicking in high gear it looks like a king night .Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thank You .I started with removing them last night .I really thought it was going to be the fuses but indicator lights were on F1 thru F-5 and they tested fine .Going to work then pick it up again tonight .

Every tutorial I have seen tells the player to keep your eyes on the ball through the flip .That being said tge hammer , not anything else should block the “view” of the shot .

The and nor , please excuse

Miracles are real ! I was having issues with all the GI in this game .They never worked from when I got it but with the pinstadiums and power blades I thought that was it for lighting .Then I noticed the backboard lights and apron flashers were never working along with under the slings etc. I soldered one lead at the back left of backboard that broke loose ,checked all fuses were ok , and re seated connections but did nothing .Then a big storm was coming through last week and I unplugged our pins .I turned MET on today an low and behold …..A fing miracle ! Can anyone chime in on what they think the issue was ?

I agree ,the green looks like it belongs more than the others I’ve seen including mine .

Need the Sparky light show .I hear it’s a must on pros .

No kidding .Who made them? You would think there would be a constant flow of demand for these .It took me a couple years to grab a premium also .It came with pin stadiums and whomever set them up did a nice job because the only flash with hits to the 4 MB mechs .They’re more a accent as opposed to some Ive seen on as the GI for games .

I’m really liking that see through look .Is it a add on to the lollipops ?

Im interested . I’ll be waiting to see what you come up with

After all this time I’ve had my Met I’m just now getting to some loose ends .Does anyone recognize this board ? It’s installed under the plunger ,inside of cabinet .A power cord leads from the board to the back box hanging there , there’s a 2 wire harness from the board that was cut off at some point for something close by the board and it’s hanging there .Then a power cord coming into the board from a power strip .I was thinking a topper but the 2 wire setup in front doesn’t make sense .Please lmk if you recognize this

Also I had all the GI go out before .I tried to trouble shoot to no success .Then I unplugged all pins went on a vacation and when I got back I booted it up and the GI was working .Then recently went out again .Fuses are fine .I’m in the book looking for the main connection where the GI starts now .If anyone has had a similar problem pkeaae lmk this seems like something that’s a easy loose connection

For headphones, aftermarket? Can you get a better photo of where the board is?</blockquote Didn’t mean to disappear after my questions , but this new covid strain got me real good .

Ok ,GI fixed ,now I’m down to 2 things .1)working with Joe from pingraffix to see if I can get the right power blade going and 2) the mystery mod power cords shown here.I know pinside likes a good challenge so here it goes.The box with the blue light feeds power to that board mounted under the plunger .That board has the black wire coming out that I’m holding in my hand and it’s severed (no idea what was at the end ).Then there’s 2 adapter like cables that come out of the board ,1 goes to the adapter with the green light shown and the end sits in the cabinet , 2goes up through the head into the back box and is just hanging there .Does anyone have any idea what this may have been used for ? I want to know before I pull it all out .It may be something I want to replace .Any info will be greatly appreciated

No hinges or DMD surround .

The adapter cables are what’s baffling .

Good idea ,I didn’t see any but I’ll look closer .

No there’s 2 cables like this (I always remember these from Nintendo ,Atari etc usually to power up the consoles ) .One ends in the back box and the other in the cabinet .I don’t see any kind of markings on the board .There’s actually a third line (molex?) shown that one leads to the cabinet also .

Hmm ,piece of mind .Are you sure you’re talking about the right pin John ?
