Anyone have the problem that a direct hit to the coffin/hammer captive ball block won't always register (METLE) - a hit to the left or right side registers, but not a hard direct hit in the middle.

Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ: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!
Hey, curious how long you have owned your MET? Had the exact same thing happen with the magnet board 2 weeks ago. My importer wants to charge for the replacement board, but The game is 2 years old (is a Mople that was NIB until I bought it 6 months ago off the original purchaser).
I'm sure most of u guys have already seen it, but Metallica has now jumped up to 11th in the PINSIDE top 100. Nice to see it's finally moving up to it's deserved place in the top 10. Top 5 next!
I've had 2 replacement magnet boards since opening mine. The current one works perfectly - the coffin magnet grabs almost perfectly now.
Quoted from dgposter:Quick question on the Premium/LE. Other than the voice that says "lock is lit" for the coffin, is there any other indicator? Is the coffin supposed to flash when lock is lit?
Pretty sure the coffin will glow red. Will check again today.

Had a look and it seems like the coffin only lights intermittently for lock. Not sure if it's supposed to. So I think the only way is to access the instant info. Must be a better way.
Love the call "Jack fu**in' pot".
Does anyone else always choke on CIU? Every time I get it I drain really quickly and don't get to cash it out. I think I need to practise in more high pressure situations.
