That looks great LIT! Now I will have to lite mine as well! Like I do not have enough to do.

Can you send a pic of how you fit a light in there?

Curious on what the correct “behavior” should be after the ball is ejected from the merlin saucer.

On my game: the ball gets directed by the small one way gate to the right side SS ball guide (im sure doing what was intended) then comes off the guide and brushes the top / inside edge of the right sling where it deflects to the left flipper. Also seen it go SDTM if im not quick enough.

So i think i need to bring the end of the ball guide out from the rubber post a hair so the ball falls cleanly past the sling to the right flipper.

Also, on a launch where you send the ball around the left orbit - should the ball come down to the left flipper at rest (to deadflip to right flipper to gain control or go SDTM if you don’t intervene to get the tip of the flipper on it. Not sure if pf pitch plays a role here. Before you ask - yes my game is level

Loving the game, but its been many years since i played one and can’t recall these nuances. I recently dialed in my Alice Cooper and man its like playing a different game. I no longer suck (as bad) at it lol. It was only after i played a different game that i realized i needed to make some minor tweaks.

the ball should hit the flipper from either orbit, never drain or make it so difficult to control. I would say some "dialing-in" would be in order.

Search "merlin foam" here on pinside, this is a known quirk. I've left mine stock for now, but yeah, it's frustrating when you nail that shot, REALLY need it, and it rockets to the right instead of landing in the scoop. But I'm in the 'that's the way it was designed' camp. Best strategy is try to hit it slightly left or right of true.

I will get my 3 Upgrades /Topper/RGBkit/XL display

end of the week

so excited.

already got the manuals from the factory, looks like a lot of work to upgrade the GI

If anybody is lurking looking for a MMr. I have a home use one we are contemplating trading or selling. It is a standard with color hd chip, shaker, topper (not royal). It also has pinstadium lights, but I can remove those easy enough.

Thanks!!! Enjoy my friend.

I sent my castle off to modfather about 1.5 weeks ago for painting. Really miss playing, kids and myself are going through withdrawal!!! Hope he gets it back to me soon, or I may need meds, lol.

Anyone else use Chuck for custom castle painting??? Would love to see pics!

I'll try to post a couple pics tomorrow when I go to install the cliffy set coming in the mail, tks.

In the meantime here's another shot, in blue...

Looks nice....does it come just like the photos?

Yes....

By the way, here's another cool medieval themed mod project...bought this off a nice fellow in Canada on ebay. Its a 3d print (rope is real), but I had to recreate a better mounting system however since the 3d bracket was flimsy, kids busted it in under a day. So I modified a pingulp metal mounting bracket. Solid as a rock now.

Don't know how much longer that ebay guys selling them, seemed not too interested in making them much longer, just wanted to let others know before he hangs it up since I think its a neat mod for MM.

I'd like to see what and how you lit yours aswell.

Doesn't look pretty, but does the job.

20200731_104218 (resized).jpg

that a white light? 12v or 6.3v?

Is there an adjustment to make the castle door stay closed (90 degree fully upright) ?

Mine is sagging a bit.

Could someone please check where the RGB cable from the speaker panel should be connected
the new board is already connected to the RGB-GI cables and to the topper and only 1 connector is free
but it is smaller then the plug

Bent98 has a good idea to add 1 more RGB led light (like the factory part pictured) under the darkened out catapult playfield plastic.

Anyone else attempt this???

Would be curious where to get a harness and how to tap into the wiring. Tks!

Check your ticket. You need to move the wires to the new connector ? The movie looks like should be move the wires to the old connector.

LTG : )

According to numerous threads on this or posts I should say this is normal operation I think it’s that way by design.

They all do. Originals and remakes.

I have a question regarding the custom logo. I read the MBR manual and some posts here.
How to install back to the orig. CGC logo? Is there after uploading a delete function available? Or only factory reset?

edit: GOT IT. its in the selection menu while setting up the new logo (switch to orig)
thx

Curious if anyone has this issue and if so a solution for it, about 10% of the time when kicking out of the moat the ball ends up going straight down the middle. Any fixes? It might not be 10% of the time but it just pisses you off when it happens

I could not get the Mantis protector fit either, so I am using just the cliffy.

Edit: never mind, I was thinking about the Merlin hole Mantis

Use one of those scotch silicone bumpers, strategically placed. Is that cheating? No judgment on that from me...

BTW, here's my homebrew drink caddie with the pinskin cover on my MMR. There's no interference from the bracket or cup holder. Fits a side-by-side, head-to-head pin lineup:

IMG_3896 (resized).JPGIMG_3897 (resized).JPG

I had this issue as well. Very easy fix. Look at the right ball guide. There is a post in between. Just put a small piece of transparent plastic foil in the gap so that the ball is moved just a tiny bit to the left. The foil needs to stand over just 2 mm. If needed I can make a photo.

Photos are always welcome!

Try reducing the popper strength on the MMr system menu.

Yes please take a photo. THANK YOU!!!

If you are looking for plastic protector, I can really recommend Convolux from my MMR RE dealer.
I choose the yellow ones. Looks pretty nice. Its a kind of neon acryl.

Here some pictures, see the black post and the small plastic between black post and metal guide. That is enough to push the ball a bit to the left and avoids drains through the middle. The ball is sent smoothly to the right flipper. Costs nothing and is hardly visible.

The popper strength is not relevant. The problem is that the ball follows the metal guide and falls on the edge of slingshot triangle and thus is directed straight through the middle.

I have messed with the popper strength as well. Tried all settings and I was able to reduce, but not eliminate the problem. Alternate solutions (like yours) will be next step.

That or a well timed nudge.

I had to take an angle grinder to mine to trim a little. Imagine you can also use a dremmel tool to trim a tad off. Every machine is a little different.

Really cool, can u post a direct link and maybe a few more playfield pics? Nice!

here you are; pics are also there; it´s looks bright, yellow fits best (my guess)

I have a question about the coil menu.
(unfortunately nothing found by searching here).
What is the entry "Through Pop Strengths" for.
I have not found anything in the print and online manual.

I just don’t know how the colored protectors would look with the rgb GI.

True...anyone with rbg have them???

you mean the Convolux?
It looks great with RGB.
The intensity of the color changes depending on the RGB; with red it is almost invisible, with white or blue it shines very well bright (the yellow ones which I have)

And about how long is shipping to U.S.???

Maybe drop us a few pics here friend??? Tks.
