Markmon,
Can you show some under playfield shots and more on how you mount these? I am thinking of replacing Wolverine with the same, but unsure how it all mounts together and how you hookup the switch.

Quoted from markmon:Are we talking about the same thing? This is about Metallica LE where you remove the metal block under the hammer. Once its out you just stick the newton ball in the middle hole and attach a nut. I promise you won't need pictures if you take a look you'll see how easy it is
The hammer works fine. The phantom hits are gone and the hammer is well synced with the sound. The issue is just in the nature of the game. In order to lock a ball you have to get the ball to roll over the magnet, which seems to have a sensor in it, somewhat slowly. The discussion here isn't about improving the hammer. It's about how to replace the fun-sucking square block with a fun to shoot captive ball while not adversely affecting the hammer behavior.
Sorry, I just don't understand how that piece goes in. I apologize for asking for further information and details to better understand how a newton ball works in a pinball machine. If someone else can explain it to me, that would be great.

Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:I just ordered this captive ball assembly for MET prem from pinballlifecom this morning., seems like it would be easy to install, just the 3 lock nuts and washers. Isn't it 3 holes and 3 lock nuts on the block? So this capitive ball assembly just goes right in place and secure under the pf? Perfect upgrade, and at $8.95.
Can someone measure the distance between the three screw posts on the mount when they get it? I'm curious if this would work on X-Men in place of Wolverine. The target works well, but this would be so much better. Just need to know the distance on an x/y axis of the spacing from center of screw to center of screw on all three. That way I can make a template and figure out if it would work with the existing holes in the playfield.
