#4408 8 years ago

Just joined the club a couple days ago. Bought a used pro. One of the best games I've played!

#4410 8 years ago
Quoted from knockerlover:

Congrats! Just for laughs (due to another marketplace ad) will you share what you paid? Or.. if it was less then 4k

Yes, it was a couple hundred under 4k.
It was a sept 2013 model

Anyone know where I can get the DMD and speaker panel surround sticker that is on the LED version? I'd like to add that to my OG pro.

Same here, if you find them shoot me a message.

Quoted from chubtoad13:

Is the pro model supposed to have a flashing light on the grave marker? I believe it's supposed to light when multiball is ready.
I don't see a flasher in that area, but the flasher is in the menu and I watched a video where it happened on someone else's pro.

Its inside the cross, mine has come undone twice now. Looks like there is some glue to hold it, but it still comes undone.

Quoted from butterz:

New owner here. The best rules I found so far is here: http://www.pinballrevolution.com/threads/metallica-pro.3077/.
Quick question. The left orbit shot always seems to bounce back when I hit it. Is the rules you have to hit a ramp first to open the post?

Congrats! I see you are very close by. If I didnt own one myself, i would invite myself over to play. Haha

#7453 7 years ago

Does anyone have an issue of the ball getting stuck in the left orbit lane? If the ball is moving slow, it gets stuck.

#7457 7 years ago

Thanks, i will get to bending

#7476 7 years ago
Quoted from newpinbin:

Never. Mine just keeps getting stuck on the snakes lip/

Mine does that too, and also when it rests against the pop bumper.

#7786 7 years ago

I bought this uncut monster translite to put in my pro, but wanted to know if it's a bad idea to cut this for value purposes?

Wires are not pinched...I already made certain. I will however, check under the playfield as you suggest. I will do this after work today and report back. Thanks!!

Did you install the support brackets on a pro? Maybe they are hitting something inside the cab?

You should get the $5 skull insert instead

#11286 6 years ago

You will have to get both sides, so you dont have 3 on one side and 2 on the other

I think the led fits just like the one that comes out of it. The lcd sits back because it is larger then the back panel.

Looking at your games, defiantly TWD. I would also think you might want Iron Maiden over Met.

#13725 5 years ago

#13800 5 years ago
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

The day has come. Where I am contemplating the sale of one of my treasured pins. MET PRO.
I own a Early Model, With Wooden Backbox, No LEDs, Snake Mod, and Shaker Motor.
The game is Documented Home USE only and about 2 years old.
What do you guys think it's worth?

Im in the same boat, had mine about 3 years and it doesn't get played as much as my others. I keep adding mods hoping it will spark something, cause i love the band so much. Too many other pins i want and not enough space.

1 month later
#13993 5 years ago

I have once about a year ago, I've had the pin about 3 years now.

#14026 5 years ago

I might, but im pretty far from you.

#14066 5 years ago

Do you have a metal back box? I have a wood backbox with lcd and dont have any kind of shadow.

1 week later
#14136 5 years ago

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.

One more question - do you remove the factory Mylar before adding the playfield protector?

No, and you will need to raise the drop targets til they are flush with the protector.

So I'm waiting on delivery of my NIB Met Pro (unbelievably excited) and have been working my way through this thread. Mostly what I'm trying to figure out is, are there any mods that are strongly recommended for purchase/installation prior to setting up the pin?

Yes, all the ones you like. Lol

Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:

Nice...what did you use to attach it to post, and link to where to buy? Also, I am not sure why you received negative down votes for this.

Cause it's a belt buckle on a pinball machine.

That shouldn't come out no matter how hard you bump it. Was it locked?

I have a full set of Met pro plastics, if anyone is interested. Maybe someone that made a mistake cutting them for the spinners.

1 week later
#16632 4 years ago

Can that withstand a hit from a ball?

I have the whole set for sale, if I can get enough people that want specific plastics I would sell individually.

My cross on my pro just broke in half. Does anyone other then Marco sell replacements?

#17113 4 years ago
Quoted from JDub03:

Besides Marco and PL, does anyone have a source for a replacement Sparky? The right foot on mine cracked off (in less than 600 plays) and I was hoping to not pay $200 for a replacement. TIA

Also wanted to know about another place to buy the pro cross?

Mine broke a month ago and I bought the one from Marco.
Problem was the holes didn't line up with my bracket. Mine was 1 of the wooden backbox models so maybe they changed something with the newer ones.

It's mainly there to protect from dust, but I have the same pin and dont see the reflection like yours. I still have the clear protector over my colordmd.

Have any more?

#17991 3 years ago
Quoted from Jecco74:

This was not like this two months ago when I purchased it.

Is it near a heater?

#17995 3 years ago

The magnet might not be flush with the playfield, so the ball could get hung up on the lip.

What's up with the cliffy around the snake mouth? Looks like it's not installed correctly.

#18337 2 years ago
Quoted from MrCleanHead:

True, but I wanted to have the other guys names since that was my time that I listened to the band. Not a fan of the "new" Metallica.
I do have the option, not to have the Jason or Dave on the Grave marker in the listing here on pinside.

You can have the dates they were in the band instead of when they were alive.

#18353 2 years ago

Why did you pull the playfield? And it seems like you didnt need to remove the head for those stairs.

#18355 2 years ago

Gotcha, cool looking pin! I played it while it was here in St. Louis!

#18372 2 years ago
Quoted from NightTrain:

Can someone do me a huge favor? I need a picture of the auto-launcher assembly. Specifically a picture from the right side. Mine came apart and I want to see the screw that holds it together. Not sure if there is a washer in there or what.
I have a vault pro. Preferably a pic from the vault. Not sure if anything changed from the OG to the vault.

Quoted from Rickwh:

Will the part under the sling art be clear and the outside be purple? Would think tha purple would darken the slings a bunch
Return lane protector pointy bits and the logo are probaby in less impact areas.

That's why I thought orange would look good.

#18741 2 years ago
Quoted from Hayfarmer:

I just installed a color dmd lcd today and I can't believe what I've been missing for the 3 yrs I've owned this pin. Highly recommend it if you haven't yet.

You may have been the last one to do so, enjoy!

2 weeks later
#18849 2 years ago
Quoted from NightTrain:The color choice for those seems very odd. I thought that color was just the prototype. Why have a plastic protector that blocks the light? Maybe I'm missing something.

I still feel orange is the way to go, I would get another set if that color was available. It brightens up that area very much.

The lcd is terrible and does not look correct at all! (My opinion).

The lcd can be switched to look like the led, have you tried that?

2 weeks later
#18953 2 years ago

I think its abit of an optical illusion with the magnet too high and going to a point. If you could pull the magnet below the surface, you could then tell if the playfield is also sunk in.

#19791 1 year ago
Quoted from Lermods:

if you change them with game off, you will lose all your settings and scores.

Ok, so game on with any pin manufacturer will work? Thanks

#19823 1 year ago
Quoted from Pickle:

Got me thinking….I should change mine as it was an early run premium. Will do that this weekend.

I thought the same thing. Mine was from 2013. Tested the battery and still 3v. So I'm going to wait

#19827 1 year ago
Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

Fyi it will show 3V pretty much constantly and will then just drop off quickly when it's done. You might as well just wait for your scores to be gone if you are trying to evaluate the usefulness of a lithium battery via the voltage

It's not a battery that I could find at Walmart and I only had 1 at the time. Wheel of Fortune needed it so I will change this now also. Thanks for the info

Death Magnetic is a great album. I cant even listen to the 90's Metallica

#20315 1 year ago

I dont mind Enter Sandman, it's a good song. Load and reload is what I'm speaking of. They are not interesting.

#20320 1 year ago
Quoted from OutlawTorn304:

Load and Reload have some awesome material. In my opinion some of their best stuff, not the best metal, but best songs. Fixxxer, Outlaw Torn, Bleeding Me, Memory Remains just to name a few

We shall agree to disagree . Memory remains is definitely the best from those.

#20637 1 year ago
Quoted from wackenhut:

What is the best way to figure out what switch is bad or how to test this? Not even sure where the shooter lane switch is located. I agree that the song is locked for other balls, but you get to make a selection at the start.

You can only pick 1 song per game

Quoted from Luis75:

Forget to mention, also installing a playfield protector from Germany

I had one on mine for a few years, only issue is the protector started to bubble over the sparky magnet and soon made a cup for the ball to sit in. You would need to give it a good bump to get the ball out of it.

Quoted from Codybomb2000:

I have a pro and a LE and just have a quick question. I know the game came out in 2013 and they remade it. Did they remake it only in 2018 or was there other years they remade it? Also, did they only remake the pros, or did the remake the premiums as well?

I don't think it was "remade" they just changed to LED. Pros and premiums were made for 5 years I thought
