What are those rails with the lightning bolt images for on your game? I've seen them on several MET's but I can't figure out what they are.

I just picked up a MET prem this weekend. I have maybe only put a handful of games on it at shows and didn't have time to play it much this weekend.
Couple of questions from the lil bit of time I played yesterday:

What do the red/blue changing inserts mean?
What are the amber snake inserts for?
What are the cross inserts for?
I noticed when shooting the orbits, many times the shot gets blocked by that post that sticks up behind Sparky. Is that normal?
Is there a way to tone down the shaker? When Sparky gets zapped and the hammer strikes, the shaker is a bit too strong and rattles a bit.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks for the link.

Was playing tonight and the hammer magnet didn't seem to be working. The hammer was also making some phantom hits. I jiggled some wires and seemed to work after that. What us the usual cause of the hammer not to function properly?

Anyone have their slings activate when flipper buttons are pushed?

I'll try that. Thanks

I'm looking for the snake body mod for prem/le. All I can find is the sticker. Can you still get the plastic piece?

Odd. I searched yesterday and somehow got on a pingraffix.wixsite.com something or other. Didn't see it there.
Thanks!

Have had MET for a week. I've got the basics down pretty good. It's a blast to play!

I ordered the mezel mod orange/blue sparky helmet mod. It says to connect the 2pin spotlight wire to the jumper harness on the end of the mod. Am i missing something here? It didnt come with a jumper harness. The end of the mod has a socket and led atrached. (Pic). How do i connect this or did i get the wrong thing? (For a met premium)

Should the hammer magnet catch a faster moving ball? Mine needs an indirect shot or a slow rollover to catch it.

How often do y'all get a second, third...CIU mode? I can usually get one but I've never gotten a second in o e game?

I watched the tutorial. I think I know how to get the hurry ups, but what exactly do they give you?

That's what I thought. Now to keep the ball in play long enough to take advantage. lol.

I always forget how to light and collect the ciu hurry up inserts.

Holy f***

I need to tame down my shaker. Seems lime it has gotten stronger and rattles the shit out of the game

+1. I played the Pro and it didn't do it for me. Played the Prem and had to have one immediately.

I've heard the jack fuckin pot a few times. Not sure what I did to get it

Don't know how you remember all that. Crikey. I played a bit tonight trying to light the inserts to make it easier to get ciu. I suck. Can never keep it in play long enough to capitalize on it. Some nights it's just drain city.

Mine has been kicking my ass lately. I think someone put industrial strength magnets in my outlanes.

I just hit flashing lights and rack up points.

I had some decent games yesterday, but went through a bad streak for a while. I swear someone snuck in and installed lightning flippers on me.

I managed a Jack Fucking Pot! yesterday. Love that callout.

Is there a shaker control in the menu? (Premium)
Mine rattles the hell out of the game. Tried some cushion under it and tightened it down . Slight better but still annoying.
I'd like to.tone the shake down a bit.

My left sparky spotlight bulb came out. I cannot find the f'ing thing anywhere.

I'll try that.....if I can ever find the bulb that popped out.....grrrrrrr.

Snake ate my bulb. Don't know how it got all the way down there. I don't know how to get it out without yaki g the whole mech off, which I really don't want to do. Snake is working fine.

There is a green light mounted under the playfield that lights up the snake.

I don't think that is going to work, but I will give it a try. It looks like it's sitting underneath some metal that won't let it come out that way.

My Sparky either doesn't/or just barely shakes his head when getting electrocuted. Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Does this look correct? Was working fine in coil test with playfield up then I put it back down and it stopped working

Think I got it. Thanks fellas. Put a little piece of sticky foam back there and test now works with playfield down.
Should I keep the foam there or try bending something? I don't want to break anything.

Thank you for digging up that post.

I always worry about frying my magnet as sometimes it takes me a while to hit that 2nd ball up there.

Dumb question...

How often do you change this style battery? Same timeframe as AA's from other machines?

Figured. Alert just popped up on my pinside email that I need to change batteries which is what made me think of it. I guess if it's the original battery, it couldn't hurt to replace it?

I unplugged my shaker. Couldn't tame it down enough to where it wouldn't rattle the game too much. Don't really miss it.

I still don't know what to specifically to shoot for in the different CIU modes. I just go for the main cash out shots then shoot anything that is lit up.

I haven't played mine for a while and was trying to explain the rules the other day about lighting/locking in the hurry up inserts to help advance to CIU. I can't remember how to get them started/flashing.

I think I was forgetting the part about the red arrow. I was hitting sparky to try and light that insert somewhere but nothing was happening. I will pay attention to the arrow.

I played a game or last night. Maybe I'm not seeing it right. Say I would shoot the right ramp. I would then see a red arrow light up at left ramp and grave markers. I should then try to hit one of those shots? The red arrow only stayed lit for a few seconds. Do I have to hit the shot while the arrow is lit?

MET is the only game I don't have any Art/Mirror blades on. Might have to look into that. Post some pics of what you have!

I uploaded new code yesterday and got some phantom hammer hits. Not sure if related.

Love how the new code makes it easier to reach CIU. Too bad I always drain just as the ball save expires.

I always plunge it with the left flipper button held and let it go all the way around and dead bounce off the left flipper right into the mystery scoop. Works 90%

Mostly because the plunger sucks balls.
My manual plunge has quit sending it around the upper loop.

I'm happy if I crack 100mil

Is there a setting to dim the back box lighting when you star a game like IMDN has?

Color DMD, yes.
I unplugged my shaker.

I have them and don't have that issue

And if you let it dead bounce, it'll go in the scoop every time.

Was having some trouble having the coffin magnet catch balls the other day. It had to be a soft rolling shot over it. Does changing the stock block metal target behind it help?

Having an issue with my coffin lock eject. The ball keeps getting stuck on top of the plunger when it's trying to eject a ball. Not sure if it's not going down all the way or coming back up too quickly? Anything I should look for?

Balls seemed fine but put new ones in anyway. 1st test, the coffin lock eject worked. 2nd test had the same issue. Ball gets stuck on top of the post and the game stops trying to eject them. I noticed that the magnet slams back up really hard after locking a ball. Is that normal?

Anything look off here?

I vaguely remember hearing that if you get through all the CIU's, that you are awarded a bonus song. Is that right?

Thanks to La4s for unlocking End of the Line on my game...and also for putting up an unbeatable score.
