Cut the cord and set that baby up. You have 21 more pins in your wishlist. But you bought the cream of the crop. I don't own this pin but I'm 95% sure it will be my next pin. Already talked to my distributor in May.
Quoted from XQ11:Y’all mind if I join you? Got my first pin ever today and it’s a #Metallica Pro! Still doesn’t feel real!
Quoted from roar:"Like new condition! Has some minor defects and is a factory second"
It has chunks missing out of it! That isn't minor in my opinion.
It did look a little ruff in a few places. IMO
Quoted from pinnyheadhead:Bwilson said if he bought for $3500 and bought a new PF he would be in for $4500 which would save $800 over NIB which would be $5300.
That's what I got out of his post. Saving of $800. NIB is the way I would go
Quoted from Damien:I can, but it would include a divorce
Then you both would have three games. Yeah, you better sale one before getting another.
Quoted from finnflash:If you want to sell something, like a pinball machine, wouldn't you clean it first? I feel bad for that pin.
This is pics from an ad on ebay.[quoted image][quoted image]
That pin needs to be rescued, call the authorities to remove it from the premises.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah once Pinball life stopped selling them and I had issues with the others, I went standard and never looked back.
Considering there’s a massive thread talking about pinball types, I’d say were in the minority for sure.
I go standard too from Pinball Life.

[quoted image]
That's cool
Don't eat Sparky until he's fried in the chair. 
Quoted from bsobie:You definitely can not go wrong with Metallica. Metallica was our First Pin and have owned that machine for about 4 years now.... Also had Aerosmith for just less than a year..... Will not get rid of Metallica..... My only regret is that I didn’t get the Premium but the Pro is still Awesome and very Addictive.
You kept Kiss and gave Aerosmith the boot. Just saying
Quoted from Toads:I joined the club not long ago.
One of the last on the line.
It even matches my carpet...[quoted image]
I like that carpet, I need to replace mine soon. Where did you find that carpet at? Thanks. I too just picked up a used Metallica Pro Friday. Liking it so much thinking about buying a NIB and put this on location somewhere or sale it.
Quoted from charles4400:Officially part of the club today!!!
Met prem monsters , just got her inside.[quoted image][quoted image]
You sure do have a great collection going on there.
Quoted from Who-Dey:I'm giving my MET some long overdue love tonight for a change. This game is so so good. Not a huge fan of the band but im definitely a big fan of the game. The CIU modes are so much fun and exciting!
Don't forget your protection and Mylar up.
I've only owned this game about 6 weeks now, I wished I would've bought it sooner. It's a blast.
Quoted from lpeters82:Just reached End of the Line for the first time while on my lunch break today. I'm sure not a huge deal for most, but I was pumped.Something like that always happens when you don't have a lot of time. That's a big deal to me. Congratulations
Quoted from lpeters82:Just reached End of the Line for the first time while on my lunch break today. I'm sure not a huge deal for most, but I was pumped.
That's what always happens when you don't have much time. Congratulations
Quoted from ktm450:Finally got the rising cross mod working on my Pro!
Huge shout out to Rick (PoMC) for some detailed photos of the wiring. Helped me out a lot. Thanks very much mate.
I printed a small master of puppets image from the LE cabinet art to go behind and stop the annoying blinding flashers.
Looks good, I see the left orbit spinner that you added wasn't enough. I added spinner too but the cross you added is the ticket. What do you have you spinner tried into. Mines hooked to the upper top switch next to up post.
Quoted from Viggin900:Howdy all! I'm late to the party want to say hello.[quoted image]
Better late than never. Welcome
Quoted from woody6092:Does anyone have the plastic piece in the attached image; an extra by chance? This piece is right under the right ramp; just below the right pop bumper. I'd rather not pay $189 for the entire plastics on Marco set but obviously would pay for this piece if someone has it. Would appreciate any feedback on somewhere else online that may have just this plastic piece. Thank you![quoted image]
If you can't find one......
I can remove mine and trace it, cut out a clear one. Scan the one from game and print it out and glue it to the clear acrylic. Or I can do one in transparent blue or florescent green, orange. That's what I did on my GoTLE better than nothing.

I cut it by hand. Test fix on my Metallica. I want a laser cuter so bad.
You can hardly see it anyway. Play it forward. 
20190910_130009 (resized).jpgQuoted from cireone:Thought I would share the cards I made for Metallica. I wanted to use art from Pushead, this was the artist they used for many designs in the late 80's. Enjoy![quoted image]
Thanks for sharing. Looks good.
Quoted from RCA1:I picked up a Monsters Premium translite on Ebay, from a pinball retailer.
Saw this when I got it. Looks like silver sharpie.
Is my new translite signed by Dirty Donny?[quoted image][quoted image]
Sure looks that way. Same as another signature I seen of his.
Quoted from embryon:Also. If you have young kids who flip a thousand times per ball will wear this rod out quickly too
Or Wife/Girlfriend
Quoted from mizzou:Does anyone do cpu/sound board repair for Metallica boards? I've got a problem with mine. Everything on J1p3 is dead. Tested for continuity and it tested positive...530 bucks for a new one on marco...yikes
I'm no expert,
So everything on J1-P3 is not working. All three pop bumpers, right and left slings, right inlane return and out lane, left inlane retune and out lane, shooter lane and the troughs.
Sounds like $5.00 (TRANSISTORS) Q2. I'm at work and can't get to manual. I hade to replace one on my Stern POTC. Let me repeat myself, I'm no expert. Enjoy time with family and wait on experience people to chime in. Merry Christmas
Call 1-800-Kickers to verify. Trust manual but verify.

Quoted from Lermods:I have a harder time with the piston target.
Especially when I need to make it and the adrenaline flowing.
I hear Sandman playing now and Metallica calling my name. Who-Dey because of you I got to go play some now. Happy New Year.
Quoted from hoby1:The new STL I have been working on.[quoted image]
I like the 1666.
Quoted from PinballTilt:Can someone take a picture of your right outlane switch? I'm getting multiple switches triggering when I only hit that one and i may have something wrong with the wiring or diode. Thanks[quoted image]
It looks melted to me. Not near pin right now.
Quoted from Humph:Bought a NIB MET Monsters Premium about 3 years ago & modded it heavily w/ color LCD.
Wouldn't be asking that price for mine if I decided to sell which is HUO & <300 plays.
Or maybe I'll shoot for $9K - $10K to try and peddle it -- any takers?
3 years, 300 plays= 2 games pre week. Almost time to wax and replace balls.
Quoted from bicyclenut:yep, thats what it was. Blown..I found an old thread on here talking about how there was a bad batch of theses boards that went out with this transistor on them. $3 part is on its way.
$3 part and $12 shipping. It's the shipping that will cost you.
Quoted from Roostking:Anybody know if Midnight Madness is available for Mettalica? Never heard of it before, but apparently its on other Stern.
Midnight Madness is what Dwight Sullivan likes to code in game he works on. Not sure if he does it on all that he works on.
Quoted from Twilight1:Dam man my gc is 480,000,000 bought it nib 5 years ago.
Had mine about 10 months and 275,000,000 is all I can squeeze out of it.
Quoted from Spiderpin:Had mine about 10 months and 275,000,000 is all I can squeeze out of it.
I was close my Grand Champion score is 300,747,640. I'll play for 1 hour and report back.
Quoted from Spiderpin:I was close my Grand Champion score is 300,747,640. I'll play for 1 hour and report back.
Ok, it's official I sux at Metallica. Best score out of 10 games 66.8m worse score 2.4m going back to Game of Thrones.
Quoted from allsportdvd:Yea, I'd like to see what the led strip looks like under the playfield, great job. I feel it'd look better without the green plastic on top
You start off with great job, then $#&% on other parts of it.
Well if your capability of installing plastic use clear if that what you think looks better.
Quoted from Ripshill:I could not be happier with my one of a kind Sparky.
Enjoy![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
One of a kind for a reason.
Just kidding. Look good. Now go Fry his @$$.
Quoted from GamesbyAPK:Plan on buying a Metallica Pro and was wondering if you do a code update does the total games played go to zero? Thanks
Should say "Total Plays" 0
And also say "Life Time Plays" xxx
Quoted from GamesbyAPK:Do you know what number audit that is?
#16 or #17 I believe
Quoted from MacLean:Just completed another Sparky & snake full modification.
[quoted image]
That Sparky is off the chain. +1
Quoted from RCA1:When did this happen?
Years ago.
Go to, FIND IN TOPIC: type
Chopping. Click on find and see it's been said a number of times.
Quoted from pkrobin:I have an issue hopefully someone has seen before.
I have a number of lights out. For example the 4 F-U-E-L inserts, the 3 inserts at the electric chair, the snake insert lights. A few others.
I've tested all the fuses.
I've done my best to look through the schematics and I even tried replacing the LED board for the Fuel lights since the schematics seemed to show that as the first board of a series all of which currently do not work. I get power at that board yet no lights. So I suppose it's a data issue of some sort and I don't really know where to go with that.
Any thoughts? Much appreciated. Thanks.
My guess would be transistor Q37. Trying to find a good playfield lamp wiring diagram.
What version of game do you have. Pro... Premium... Le....
Quoted from Pickle:Forgot to mention I wouldn’t leave it there...if that broke and leaked in the game.....
Been in there for at least a year now. If it breaks I'll lick the playfield.
All my game have one. We ran out of booze one night, never again.

Quoted from Pickle:Forgot to mention I wouldn’t leave it there...if that broke and leaked in the game.....
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Looks even better with translight in
Didn't notice I was looking at the topper.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:Maybe. But I think they do look good
[quoted image]
Didn't mean Metallica topper, just seen the GB topper for like $2500
Quoted from TronGuy:I am in. Can pay whenever is convenient for you.
On a side note, I don’t have my machine yet. (Just paid today) what is the best choice of colordmd? Led or lcd?
I just received my (4) ColorDMD LCD this week. Metallic should be installed tomorrow. Installed one in GoT and TWD. I picked the LCD because you can customer selection of 49 different color hues and three different display effects (classic dots, high-definition upscaling, and scan lines) and of course download firmware for your game it's going to be mounted in. Hope this helps some. This was my 1st purchase so I'm no expert.
Quoted from Hayfarmer:How much and where did ya buy? Been contemplating one,,,,,
https://shop.colordmd.com/ $399. Free shipping if buying 3 or more
Quoted from Spiderpin:https://shop.colordmd.com/ $399. Free shipping if buying 3 or more
Installed all 4 this week. Met,TWD,Mustang and GoT. 3D printed box to block light and dust.
20210123_120543 (resized).jpg20210123_120705 (resized).jpgQuoted from TronGuy:So now I gotta spend another $400.....
How difficult is the install?
Very easy to install. I'm slow and took about 30 mins.
Quoted from Shredso:Tell me about the 3D printed box please. I used weather stripping on my AC/DC and that worked OK. I know they sell a shroud but I think it's $30.
I measured the opening and added about 12mm to height and width. I printed it in two sections because it's about 15" long. I had tabs on it and put double sided tape and put it on acrylic screen when it was in place. Made it 3/4" (19.06mm).
I'll get better measurements tomorrow not at home now.
Quoted from Shredso:Nice, if you have the .stl I'd like to give it a try. Thanks.
That's not a problem. Will be tomorrow. Thanks
Quoted from Animal:sparky reboot...
[quoted image]
It that the Cleveland version?
Quoted from Shredso:Nice, if you have the .stl I'd like to give it a try. Thanks.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4735665
It will show up 24 hours from now.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:show us a pic and give your thoughts when installing!! is it better than just using foam?!
This is a picture from the 1st version. Ver 2 not as wide and is overlapping in the center to put double sided tape.
20210124_103536 (resized).jpgQuoted from RobF:This remind me, I designed one of these too. I am also willing to share stl if there is interest. I figured everybody else was just buying the pinmonk gaskets and I was the only cheapskate [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Yes I like the fact that it bolted down. Looks good. It's not that I'm cheap. Sure lol. It's just I'm showing to wife that I can justify the price of the printer.

Quoted from boogies:Has anyone replaced the 520-5307-00 led boards with a standard 44 or 555 socket.
The 4 large white inserts (near flippers) are dim in comparison to the other inserts. I'd imagine that it'd be a big improvement, if it's possible.
[quoted image]
That LED goes to a Spike game. It's the wrong one unless it's a Spike game. You need this one for a Sam's https://www.pinballlife.com/cool-white-pcb-led.html

[quoted image]
Is that under the Grave or Snake marker?
I own both, Met only for two years and GOTG only 1 month The Rocket shot is tight and I can't backhand easy like I can the inline targets on Met. The Fuel shot is harder for me to make than the one on GOTG. Both are a blast to play and fill different to me. Now say with me bobilybobilybo
Quoted from cosmokramer:Picked up this nice HUO pro.
Invisiglass
Shaker
Pinwoofer
A few other minor mods.[quoted image]
Good things come to those who wait and put the word out. Ok maybe it didn't come to you, you drove (500 miles max) as fast as you could. Good find.
I had a 42" TV I was throwing away. Removed the light defuse material from it and made a set yesterday. There are two sheets in tv's. Cut sheet at 14" one end and 10" other. That made 2 sheets the same size. Creased sheets at 9.5" down to 5.5" and folded over rails and made another crease. Next set I'll made scores in material to make it easier.

It lets you know when to shoot the snake. Not sure if mine is loose or burned out? It looks like a wedge type bulb, but I didn’t want to pull it out until I’m sure it is a wedge led.
Yes it's a wedge bulb #555.
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Part # in the manual is 112-5033-04. IIRC it is a bit of a pain in the ass to get to.
Quoted from KSUWildcatFan:I did try four different balls I had tumbled prior, making sure they weren't magnetized before I started,
Just seen this from LTG about tumbling balls.

20211031_101040 (resized).jpgI bought my magnet 4 months ago, but haven't installed it yet. Looking like a cold winter day project for me.
Quoted from arcyallen:Actually, it's a 1 hour 10 minute job when you factor in discovering you don't have the right tool and have to drive to the store to buy an unnaturally large adjustable wrench.
It was a 24hr and 10 minute job for me. My son in law brought a wrench home from work after I showed him what I needed. He has like an 8' toolbox so I figured he had one.
Quoted from Spelunk71:No. I went through a bunch of fuses, gave up trying, and emailed them about the problem. Still waiting to hear back.
I have three knockers in my PBL shopping cart, was making sure I didn't need anything else before making purchase. Now I'll continue shopping and make sure all good before checking out. Thanks for the last few posts.
