I'm not sure this is really a "mod", but I highly recommend you check/swap out your flipper plungers! I was talking to someone who said "MMr plays like crap, but AFMr plays great" ...I asked why there would be a difference. He told me that CGC accidentally used flipper plungers on some MMRs that were too long...which results in the flipper not flipping as high, which results in weaker/different play. I did notice some weak play when I got mine, but I cranked the flipper strength up to +4 to compensate and never gave it a second thought. Still, I was curious about his claim -so I got some new plungers...and sure enough, when I took my old ones out...they were longer!!! After putting in the new ones, I was able to dial the strength back down to +1 and it plays great!

Standard modern B/W ones:

#A-15848-L
#A-15848-R

Apparently CGC had some PPS plungers that were longer but had the same part number, and that's how they got in the game.

I don't know how many games got the longer plungeres. Mine is LE #120, got it in 2015 ...it's possible later run games have the right part...but now it makes sense when I hear some people have played the game and don't think it feels like the original - they had the wrong plunger! With the right plunger, they feel exactly how they should.

Look up.

I wish I had done a side by side before installing, but here are the longer ones. They're just about 2 6/16. The right ones are just a hair shorter. Maybe 5/16 or 4/16. It's minuscule, but enough to affect the distance the flipper travels.
