Hey guys i just purchased a MET pro and first off let me say it is an amazing pin. However, I have noticed that sparky isnt shaking all the time when starting multiball. It seems that i have to almost "help" him by rocking the table back and forth. I notices that one of his shoulders wasnt sitting correctly into his arm. Any suggestions? Anyone having the same issue?

I did the diagnostic and the coil seemed to fire, but i think he has somehow come disconnected where his arm meets his shirt.

Quoted from Baiter:

There is a metal plate behind sparky...when it energizes the magnetic coil pulls the plate to the coil. what has happened is the L shaped plate underneath it Is bent beyond 90 degrees and the metal plate is too far from the magnet to get pulled to it. The fix is to bend the L shaped plate back to 90 degrees so the magnet can work again.
If you look behind sparky it will make more sense. It's a pretty easy fix

This totally fixed my problem. You are the man!
