Joining club this weekend with a Refinery Pro. Looking forward to playing for sure.

I am getting the one local to me. He is a buddy of mine and we had been discussing his pin before he ever put it on Pinside. He has another pin lined up to buy next week and he has a willing buyer with cash who he knows and I've given him first buy-back rights in future so this is certainly a win-win situation!

Photos later...but Refinery Pro #23 is in the house and set up! Put up a nice 78 million score (nice for me anyway with very limited Metallica play experience). Tomorrow will be wax/clean/level/new balls day for all my pins. Little bit of work but definitely a labor of love. Also need to install the newest code. Mine is on 1.68 I think. Already downloaded so will be getting all new audits tomorrow.

Question on settings: The orbit post is active by default and I notice sometimes it pops up on orbit shots and other times it stays down and allows a better flow with the ball coming back to the flipper. I know when I owned IM I disabled that post for better flow but I don't know enough about Met rules if it is better to leave it active or deactivate altogether.

Any suggestions?

Update problem. The Refinery Pro I brought home yesterday is running v1.64 of the code. I've tried updating today with no success. I've used 2 different USB sticks and have downloaded the file twice.

I have updated code numerous times in the past with the same stick I usually use.

Any thoughts?

Well, fixed my own problem. Went ahead and simply reformatted the USB stick and re-downloaded the code and saved directly to the flash drive.

Updating now.

You get led version? I have led in SS and regular in AFM and I like the led one much more. Would love to see a photo of an led in Metallica before I order one.

Here are some photos of my new refinery pro.

Yep on the sticker. Funny thing is I didn't even realize until I took the photo lol.

Oh well easy fix.

Just got it. 4th owner I think HUO. Needs some cleaning which happens tomorrow but overall in very good shape really.

No doubt though I need a couple cliffys and new cross decal.

Mylar over magnets looks decent but dirty.

It's going to get some TLC tomorrow.

Looks like LCD DMD correct? What settings?

Loving my new Metallica so far. It was pretty dirty. Used novus 2 and then waxed her up really nice and installed some super shiny's. also updated to new code. Are there some recommended settings to change other than free play and coin door ball save which I do on all my pins? Sure are a lot of gameplay options on this pin!

Nice. Yes, but not all 188! Thanks for the help.

Wow!

I have an led in SS and LCD in AFM. They are next to each other and I think the led looks better. Probably just the brightness but when side by side the led really "pops" compared to LCD. If I buy one for met it will be the led.
