I want to compile a master list of common Metallica issues that owners have encountered as I'm thinking of making the jump myself (Pro or LE). There are many issues still popping up in the forums like:
- MET LE hammer lock not always grabbing the ball
- Ball bouncing back off of plastic post on left outer loop (metal post replacement fixes this mostly but not always)
- Grave marker targets prematurely dropping / not completely dropping / not resetting properly
- Playfield clearcoat chipping (shooter lane, outhole, ...). Ghosting? Some suggesting to buy used others saying not a problem at all.
- Lowest bumper not firing when ball contacts it
Q1. Metallica owners, what are the most common mechanical failures you've encountered / still encounter? (please mention Pro or LE)
Q2. Any advice for someone thinking of buying new or used today?
I will compile into a poll later.
Thanks!
