Based on the way they handled the color chip, I would expect the kit or whatever they do to be available to both standard and le owners with the le owners getting a lower price

I can probably live with that, now to find a game!

assuming it ever shows up. Must be more than a year ago that CGC started to talk about it...

I was told around a year ago by Doug Duba that the XL display would be available for all owners, and would also require the color chip to not alienate people that already bought that upgrade. My assumption is that since Standard owners already paid $200 extra for the chip, that the XL would be a fixed price, but I didn't think to ask at the time.

He also said the new screens were ready and they were just working out branding/packaging. A year seems an excessive amount of time for that so who knows if anything's changed. I haven't heard anything about them since that one was spotted in the wild last summer at Logan's.

CGC-Ryan Doug_Duba any news on this guys?

Thanks again Lloyd - I don't have the manual so this helped!

My only comment would be to consider using Comet Pinball flashers in place of the the left and right flashers, with cables running to the troll eyes separately. That keeps things further from the PCB and makes it interactive.

This is hooked directly to the PCB board.

If anyone is interested in the "Coat of Arms" speaker grill inserts and williams logo please post your name in the link below. We are trying to get 10 people to commit.

We also have rgb speaker lighting for mmr that I think would complement these...

Just a quick bump to let you all know I have a brand new in box pf from PPS.

If you're planning to keep your MMR for years to come, there's nothing better than having a brand new of on hand.

Just think about how hard it is to find a NOS MM pf these days

I thought PPS was selling them on their site?

The only MM pf you can easily come across now is from Mirco, and IMO, they're nowhere even close to original pfs.

The only I have is for MMR, and is from PPS. There are selling for $800 now.

If you're interested, we can make a deal.

Noob - picked up my MMR yesterday. Sitting at work today killing time. Want to order a couple spots and bulbs, but game obviously not with me. Questions if anyone in the know just happens to be on here right now:

Are the spots on the Castle wedge or twist - i'm assuming theyre wedge right now.
Also seeing posts on replacing bulbs on the slings with dual flex heads. Which particular bulbs has anyone used?

Shameless plug for a great product that I just installed into my mmr. Powered amp and subwoofer kit. Simple install. The 6” is a verified quick and easy install into mmr despite the depth of the troll mech. Massive bass now. Very affordable and simple for those (like me) that prefer not to have an external sub below my pins.

My buddy is having a problem when the ball falls in the moat the switch is not registering the ball. Anyone know off hand what switch I need to order for this area? Need to get it up and running by Friday night.

Has anyone checked if the screw(s) came loose and the switch needs to be put back on ?

He’s one of the new breed of pinball owners. Buys every NIB LE that comes out and can’t figure out how to take the lockdown bar off the playfield. So the answer to your question is no. I even told him to check for that. He’s an hour away so just want to order the switch to be on the safe side before making the trip on Friday. Thanks for the info.

Any news on the screen update for MMR?!

Cheers
Neil.

Nope.

‘It’s still in development.’

If they release it, it will likely be released as a kit. They don’t want to leave previous MMr buyers behind. Awhile back, Doug said something about how there would be no pricing advantage/disadvantage in buying an MMR today or in a year from now.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/is-there-any-new-info-on-mmr-xl-display-options#post-4399255

That is nice to hear if true

Personally I feel like if they want to release an XL version that’s fine, just remember us LE owners with a good sized consideration, especially if they already got us for the color upgrade.

I was playing my MMRLE on the weekend after not playing it for a while and when the multiball madness is displayed on the screen there is no extra balls that are launched for multi ball, do you know what could be causing this?
cheers

Balls magnetized and not rolling down the ball trough right ? New balls or :

https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/03-16809

If it's always done this, then check the plunger that kicks the ball up to the shooter lane. If the tip is sticking up a fraction of an inch too high, it won't let the balls run into place. The plunger/coil is held to a bracket that is adjustable on the end of the ball trough. Loosen the four screws and move up or down. Not too much or it won't work right.

Thanks LTG
The plunger was just sitting a little high, the ball was just getting stuck on the plunger rubber, lowered the plunger a bit and now multi ball is working great,
cheers

I've received my brand new MMR standard a few weeks back. I have noticed I am getting speaker noise out of the back box speakers the sounds like a computer fan running. Not loud but very noticeable in a quiet room. Does anyone else have this?

The speaker connector plugs onto the lower right corner of that small board in the head. I would cut the cable ties and separate the wires to that connector from the other wires. And maybe put a ferrite bead on it. A little internet searching will turn that up if you need it.

Still have a brand new and sealed in box MMR playfield from Planetary.

PM if interested.

What strategy does everyone use to maximize earning extra balls? Castle first then what? Or do you not worry about them?

I was playing tonight, and in the middle of the game I heard a metallic "tink" sound. The left flipper immediately stopped working. I lifted the playfield, and this screw with washer was sitting on the coin box. I did a look around and couldn't see any empty spaces. Does anyone know where this goes, and more importantly, if it's the cause of the dead flipper?

MMr screw 2 (resized).jpg

Yes. It’s part of the flipper. You have two and they’re identical. Look carefully at the working one and compare. You’ll find it.

Yup. Holds your flipper linkage together. Pretty important.

Same thing happened on mine. Easy fix.

See the pretty orange arrows ? They are pointing to where it goes. Allen head machine screw on this side, locknut on the other end.

Is CGC making any of these in the CE currently? Is the price the same as MBr CE? Thanks.

There is no CE of MM. Just the LE for the first 1000 people, and now the Standard Edition, which is $8k.

Thanks guys...I'll get it put back together tonight. My wife was pretty upset that I "broke" her favorite game!

Happened to me too. Do you have a shaker on the machine? That's what I attributed it to.

No shaker...except for me when the ball is headed down the outlane!

I believe there are 7 way to get extra balls to get your game to a total of 10 balls. I can only think of 6 of those ways now. These are in no particular order in how to achieve

1. Blow up 2 castles
2. Collect 10 hurry ups
3. Complete royal madness
4. Collect the super jackpot in castle multiball
5. Collect in video mode. Not sure how many of the birds you need to wack but its quite a few
6. Mystery award

I usually get mine in this order

1. Blow up 2 castles
2. Royal madness
3. 10 hurry ups
4. super jackpot collect

the rest are hard. Video mode is difficult to get to let alone get far enough in it to get the extra ball. Not sure when it comes up in mystery but I have gotten it before.

I don't seek the extra balls but they come naturally as you progress through the game. I typically always get at least 2 when I am playing a game.

You can also set replay to extra ball if you so desire

Also, with the extra balls, once BFTK ends, some of the stuff starts over, so you can get another extra ball after the 2nd castle every time.....
Also, Royal Madness is there...I have gotten 3-4 extra balls from completing Royal Madness multiple times....

I think my record is 12 extra balls in one game....

4 XB from the 2nd castle destroyed....
2 from Castle multiball...
4 from Royal Madness.....
1 from video Mode..
1 from hurry up....

Basically, there are plenty of extra balls available....

Brand new MMR play field from PPS.
