Hello!
I have the 3 CGC remakes, MB and AFM I got NIB - they have about 500 plays each.

I just got a 2017 MM with about 2000 plays, and I find the flippers much different on the MM - they are just a little weaker or less quick to respond maybe... I cranked up the flipper strength on my MM to max and that helped but still the flippers on my AFM and MB feel much stronger at the default setting.

I would like to have my MM flippers feel as strong, any suggestions or should I just live with it?

Thanks!

Quoted from pinballaddicted:

We have all 3 remakes all bought new. The flippers on MMr definitely feel weaker than AFMr and MBr. We have not done anything about it. We put it down to the fact that AFMr and MBr have solenoid driver board in the back box and not on the large playfield PCB.
FYI game count and purchase dates
MMr 1100 games purchased 2018
AFMr 2000 games purchased 2017
MBr 700 games purchased 2019

Ok! So you think the newer run of MMr (the SE and the Royal) would feel better? Or not

Quoted from BrianBannon:

Might want to rebuild all the flipper wear parts on your MMr. 2000 plays really isn't that much for a set of flippers, yet it would be the first thing I would try. I have around 21,000 plays on my MMr and it is on its 4th flipper rebuild. Flippers seem just as strong to me at default settings as they are on both AFMr and MBr, both of which have under 10,000 plays. My MMr is a very early 2015 build. I remember making some physical flipper adjustments right after I bought it NIB because there was some slight binding. No flipper troubles since.

Ok! Thanks!
Where is the best place to get the parts for this?
Thanks!

Ok! What physical adjustments? Bending the piece of metal behind the flipper coil?
Thanks!!
