Nope. I even hooked up another switch/lamp & still nothing?!?!

Perhaps you missed this post/thread:

Hope this helps; it was sheer chance I happened to come across this particular post of yours. I'm sorry BD chose to throw himself onto a hand grenade, but the guy was flat-out lying to all of you.

Jim, we've met a couple of times and I've enjoyed our IRL conversations, but man, for someone who whines about people on Pinside fighting too much or being disrespectful of each other, you are well on your way to becoming the #1 e-douche of the site especially now that you're getting into rumors and innuendo.

Don't worry Kieth , I won't take your crown .

Damn, I was hoping I had a shot.

Bringing home from PPO today

You stay classy, San Diego.

Time to get out the meter and check for proper voltage. Also make sure the bulb is good in another location. If there's no voltage trace the wire back to the next bulb in the string and check for a break.

received #393 today 6/31/2013 set up, played 10 games, trouble free, no tuning needed, yet.

Make sure you mark that on your calendar

Just picked up my METLE today (I think it's #108). One more in Canada!
A big thank you goes out to Brock from pinballcustoms!!

Thanks again! Just have to get it set up (and get it in the house so the wife doesn't see)!

Driving it back to Windsor as we speak!

Can you please post bigger photos?

Gotta love freight carriers - mine went from IL to MO to Dallas and is now in Tulsa!?! I'm in Austin.

I was out of town and finally got 450 setup. Hard but addicting and fun! Love those metal ramps and bashing on Sparky. Trouble free accept the previously report drop target issue (Stern working on a fix). LED Gi looks great.

I was installing the much needed flipper fidelity sounds system and hit a snag. The LE speakers have a M screw mounted to the grill. FF backbox speakers tweeter hits the screws mounting the M. So I need a spacer which I have in the form of pinballtopper.coms LED speaker mod. No big deal.

Mine's in Tulsa too. Maybe they are roomies! Wonder who'll get theirs first.

Mine ships tomorrow!! I should have it next week sometime due to the holiday..hellz yeah!!

#320 will be delivered to Dallas on Friday! Going to put it right next to #299 that was delivered last week.

Ugh, glad I bought the Pinball Pro speaker kit... Flipper Fidelity dropped the ball on that one! Make no mistake, though, this game NEEDS a speaker upgrade.

I have the pro and have the same problems with the drop targets.

Gratz on your new machine!

Who did you order from? With Premiums being delivered, I thought the LE's were done?

LE question. On the apron, two of the band members, one on each side, are lit up and look great. The other two make it appear there are bulbs out. I looked and there is one light per side. However, under the other band member is a fixture for the spotlight to the pf. So, even if you added lighting underneath, the fixture outline would show through the band member making it look less than appealing. I used an led flashlight to see how it would look and that's how I saw the outline of the spotlight fixture.
I like the spotlights. I like the apron and I like the lighted band members.

But really, WTF on the other two band members?

I don't pay a great attention to detail, and this really sticks out to me.

At least there isn't a light out!

Ha! Checked status this morning and it is now back on the way to Dallas. Funny they sent it to Dallas to send it to Tulsa and then back to Dallas. That is what I call terrific logistics planning! NOT.

Received #126 on Tuesday, June 25th. In the last couple days it's started to randomly register electric chair hits for no reason and it's progressively gotten worse. This morning I turned it on, pushed the start button and it started registering electric chair hits and eventually started the multiball without doing anything...ball was just waiting to be plunged the whole time.

# 311. Arrived today 7/3/13

Yeahhhaaaa

Opto or center target firing. Did you do a switch test? Call Stern for a replacement if needed.

METLE #'s 475, 430 and 371 landed here yesterday.

Right on !

You sure you have #311?
I got 311 on June 21

Revised

#331. Arrived 7/3/13

Thanks for correcting
Too excited I guess

nice when your 7000+ machine gets handled by as many different forklifts as possible.

#486 in Buffalo on 7.1. I anyone has 268 and wanna trade plaques let me know!

No Problem. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

I got the call, it's coming... Friday!!! Time to ride the lightning...

Inline drops are pissing me off. I've tried more tension on the springs,but now the back one drops when the front one is hit. Also the front one STILL doesn't go down with a direct hit! Please help!!

#327 arrived yesterday
What is with this numbering? I don't get it.... So random pins off the line head to Europe/Australia
When I saw 327 I figured first 250 went overseas but then now in this thread I see lower numbers in US?
How does it actually work? How do we know there are really only 250 in the US?

Some people requested certain numbers, so that's a big part of it.

184 arrived on Monday but was sitting at terminal since June 22. Seems like a keeper so far.

Truth. It's the top layer of ply in the plywood. That's what I've witnessed from experience. Nobody really wants to listen but that's the case. Clear is clear and no matter how long it cures a metal ball will dimple it...if there's a soft (thick ply) layer under it.

No conclusive data, but it does appear some of the playfields with the least dimpling over the years have a very thin and hard top layer of ply.

I've also noticed that post-XM the clears on Sterns have been less thick. I think it's to show less dimpling, because all the collectors were emailing Stern these high res pictures of little dimples and asking for new playfields/swag etc. So now, we have a thinner clear which shows less dimples but less playfield protection as well.

I agree that dimpling happens. Period. Also agree with you about the thicker clear coats actually making the dimples more noticeable.

The B/W pins are definitely not an exception to dimpling though. While I agree that most of my B/W do not show much dimpling, the two HUO/Low Play B/W pins that I have had show *plenty* of dimpling in the clear. The HUO NGG that I had showed plenty of dimples, and the same thing goes for my current HUO CV.

I'm guessing that the HUO B/W pins show more dimples because they have not been played nearly as much as my other B/W pins so the dimples haven't been smoothed out or blended in with thousands of dimples compared to the routed examples.

My XMLE really showed dimples like crazy.

Seriously, that's their solution? It does seem METLE has the thinnest clear I've seen on an LE.

#493 delivered yesterday, MET Club order, still in the box.

#433 delivered yesterday. Came out of the box perfect. Uploaded new code before the first ball hit the plunger. Powercoat seem thinner than what is on AC/DC. Needs a better program on the hammer but otherwise it's is awesome!

Borg row. Kudos to John, one of the finest designers in pinball.

Can't wait to see the first LE with a brilliant black Metallic powder job

#338 just arrived in Austin this morning!

Congratulations ! What is the build date ?

#489 arrived Friday, built June 20. Played about 50 games over the weekend!

Staying in box for the moment - I need to figure out what game to sell to make space inside!
