I am on the waitlist at http://www.planetarypinball.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=PPS-UPGMMR-RGBG

They have been unavailable for awhile now. Good news is CGC has said they plan more MM kits at some point. I am kicking myself for only getting the XL screen. Plan on getting the RGB and Topper on the next go around.

Merry Christmas from the castle!!

The King of Payne says Merry Christmas to all!!

Hello.

Can anybody here help me with
A good scan or file containing
The Apron cards for MMR

Thanks

I was checking the power supply voltage on my MM Royal remake so I can install Pin Monks cooling fans.
I’m getting 10.5 out of both V+ terminals. Can someone check their power supply and see what you are getting? The power supply is adjustable and I’m not sure if there is a reason it’s set so low from the factory. CGC seems to be closed for the holiday.

Anybody ??

Here's some custom apron cards. I can't find the stock ones, you might try opening a support ticket with CGC.

The shaker on my MMr seems to vibrate the cab in a not so enjoyable way (I have it set on ‘light’).
I have the exact same shaker in my MBr and AFMr and it feels perfect on ‘default’.
Any tips how to calm the shaker down a bit more? I already have the glass nice and snug with felt tape.
Thanks!
Richard

I have the same issue. I finally gave up and unplugged it.

Maybe a anti vibration pad under it? A thin one. Then keep layering it until the desired effect is achieved…
Would like to know if anyone tried something like this first.

Thats a great idea. Following...

It's come up a few times, you might need to adjust the weights on your shaker motor if you haven't already. See below:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/mmr-owners-club-all-things-mmr-discussed/page/130#post-5715554

Hmmm. It says to line up the weights a bit to reduce the shake. One shaker I had in there the weights are lined up (or so I think) and it was still to strong.

Or maybe rubber washers? Just spitballing…

If adjusting the weights doesn't yield the desired results, another option would be to use a PWM controller to further restrict the speed/rotation.

I ordered that thin anti vibration mat. I’ll let you know how I make out!

Thanks!

The weights should be offset, yes? They need to be opposite, so just making them straight may keep the “shake”.

I forgot what mine looked like, I’ll need to open.

Edit:
From what I recall being told, as I have a CT red tremor that needs to be tamed down. The off set weights need to be opposite to not shake as much.

Shown here, this is my mmr. The offset is on the same side, mine rattles like a mofo.

Ok. I’m not sure. Let’s see what the others say.

Ohh ok. So I’ll need to try that first. Adjust mine.
How do you adjust the weights?
Thanks!

Huh. Well I took my one weight off and there is only a dimple for the shaker weight to be the one way… not sure the set screw is strong enough to use a non dimple section.

May be time to cut the weight or make a new dimple. Curious what orhers have done. Maybe I’ll dig into the tremor soon

Set screw on the weight holding it to the shaft of the motor.

LTG : )

Dremel a new dimple.

LTG : )

I think I may…..

Use a Allen key to adjust here?

I am trying to adjust here but it is not turning for some reason!

gotta use a small allen, you have to back it out pretty far and then it will spin separate from the other side, which you may have to hold while you turn it

EDIT:
I think my allen is a 3/32

This shaker problem didn’t exist prior to the last software upgrade, the one needed for the display/lighting/topper kits.

Seems like CGC broke the shaker with software, why can’t they fix it with software? Don’t they test it?

You can’t adjust the weights without drilling a new dimple in the shaft.

I also have my shaker turned off. It shook so hard during Madness Multiballs that it would set off the tilt!

Fix the software CGC.

....I don't think mine changed with that software update......

I bought the Classic Edition in 2018, and added the shaker just after that. The shaker was always very mild. Then last year I upgraded the software when I installed the XL display. And the shaker was on steroids after that, even on the lowest setting. And it seems they tweaked the software because the shaker also activated during additional events.

Curious to know if anyone else had the same experience.

I think this would make it worse. By allowing the motor actually move more.

I just hacked a divot to the opposite side of stock on one of the weights. Now the weights are opposite of eachother..... There is noise when the shaker goes off but no shake.....

You balanced the shaker by putting equal weights opposed to each other. Putting one weight 90 degrees from the other would be the half way adjustment.

Isn't the red tremor infamous for being too powerful? Perhaps replace with a new, bit calmer, shaker.

Yes, I know. I was trying to prove/show the other users.

I have mine currently set at a 90 degree offset and it is ok, more noise than shake, but you can feel the shake.

yeah. it was shaking games loose. I think they either stopped making it or changed it. I need to adjust the weights but I just haven't remembered. However it seems today I've been doing the random stuff I always forget to do... Like HOOKS little metal pieces Once I shop the MM out i'll swap in the rgb pops and clear covers.

If the shaker is not breaking anything yet setting off the tilt then your tilt is not adjusted properly. It’s not a software issue.I find the shaker on MMr to be very aggressive but certainly no worse than Roadshow.

The tilt bob is either too tight or more likely to just not be centered properly which is pretty common. Mine was so off centered i removed the tilt bob completely.

But hey it’s your machine! If you want the tilt to be so sensitive you can’t even slap save it’s your choice! You found a workaround by turning off the shaker but could have just as easily loosened the tilt sensitivity a bit.

Gona try 90 degrees now? How did you “hack a divot”?
Thanks!
Richard

Nice. Maybe I’ll try around 45 degrees first then?

I can take a pic, I don't think I did of the 90. Ok soooo I have a dremmel with a cut off wheel and a drill with a step bit (sharp tip) I really didn't get a good divot but I got something and it's stuck.

Game off
I took off the shaker case
removed the front facing weight
Took the rear weight and turned it so it was horizontal to the floor/cab
Marked the metal post where the divot would go
So the back weight is -- and the front weight will go |
I took the dremel with wheel and make a little notch then worked it front to back just a little to make a flat/concave spot.
Then I took the drill bit and while holding the rear weight again slowly started the bit to get a little concave action.

Let me get pics, That may help some too.

Yes, mine is the same way after the update. It has been mentioned before in this thread.

Well, got the weight off at least. Can I use a regular drill bit to make a new “dimple”?
Gona try 90 agrees to start.
Thanks,
Richard

I would say depends how sharp the bit is, I don't think a drill bit will just bite into the shaft as it will want to step off. The dremel disc made a flat spot for the bit to stay on. Otherwise a drill press would be useful if you have one and can clamp in the shaker.

Adjusting the tilt was the first thing I did. It’s dead center and as low as it can be and still contact the ring.

You know they modified the software because prior to the upgrade the shaker wasn’t triggered by a shot through the little ball lock door. And after the upgrade is when the shaker strength went berserk. They did something….

No big deal. It’s shut off. Don’t miss it that much.

There is also another shaker adjustment in the CGC menu called “Additonal Shake”- I set mine to off. Normal “Shaker Strength” is set to light. Shaker is tolerable with these settings on mine (didn’t have to adjust the shaker/weights itself).
