I picked up a MET Pro about 2 months ago and was hoping to get some advice on a few small issues I've been experiencing:

1) the snake doesn't eject straight out of the mouth consistently. Sometimes it shoot a bit right into the top of the left sling, and sometime it clips the stand-up target to the left of the right ramp entrance. Is there any way to adjust this or potentially move the snake mouth a tiny bit left?

2) the auto-launch doesn't always strike the ball cleanly and often times, especially during multiball, it won't hit it cleanly and fails to launch the ball out of the shooter lane entirely. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a fix or adjustment?

Thanks!

I have a MET Pro and find that the ball eject from the snake is inconsistent. Sometimes it perfectly fires into the middle of the left flipper, but sometime it fires a bit left and misses the flipper hitting the top of the sling. I've noticed that some misfires seem to ever so slightly graze the stand-up target left of right ramp, but then some don't!

I have tried to adjust the stand-up target as far right as possible, but I'm hoping someone can help me out.

Is there a way to adjust the positioning of the snake so I can point it a smidgen to the left? Or is there a way to adjust the mechanism and possibly bend it a little so it fires a little more to the left?

THANKS!

I did...I increased the coil setting from where it was (32...perhaps the default?) to the max 64 but that hasn't solved the issue.

Any additional thoughts/suggestions? Bueller?

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that later today for sure and will report back.

A "target splint" eh? I'm not familiar with that but I'm certainly going to look into it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Can someone provide a solid explanation of how the scoring works in Blackened mode? I've had a few games where I've gotten $125-$140 million in this mode, usually during a longer multiball, and I really don't know how the hell I did it!

Thanks! Definitely helpful!

Could someone explain how to perform the swap? I'm definitely interested.

I recently had one of the specialty LEDs from the backbox pop off and break and, for some reason, when I tried to replace it now none of those six bulbs are lighting. The rest of the LEDs and flashers seem 100% and the game is playing fine otherwise.

Any ideas? I would assume that these six bulbs are not associated with a dedicated fuse.

Thanks!

I'm referring to the row of blue lights behind/above sparky on the back wall of the playfield. I've attached an image from google since I'm currently traveling for work.

appreciate the info, I'll check that for sure

You were spot on! Problem fixed!

Thanks!
