I’m getting ready to join the club, and debating between the SE and LE. I’ve never had mirror blades before and wonder how easily they scratch? Anyone have issues with them getting marred/scuffed from raising/lowering the playfield? Thanks!

Pleased to finally join the club. Received my NIB LE #510 this week (game was built in July 2019). It seems like there's only a few LE's left out there, so I figured I'd better jump on it now or regret it later. I was aiming for an SE, but surprisingly, my wife pushed me to get the LE.

Anyways, I'm slowly reading my way thru the thread, trying to gather any info on common adjustments, mods, etc., so anyone wanting to cliff note the 125+ pages of posts?

I plan to spend a fair bit of time this weekend getting to play it. Very excited!

One question I had to the LE owners regarding the powder coating. My legs and lockdown bar match exactly, but the side rails are noticeably lighter. Is this normal? (see attached pics)

Thanks!

Yes, hard to photograph. The left rail pic shows it better that the right rail pic. The rails are almost a medium blue, whereas the lockbar and legs are dark purplish-blue.

Hello - Looking for some help, my game keeps blowing F103. I understand this is related to the Bride, Mummy, and auto launch solenoids. I installed Titan rubbers today, and may have bumped something? The only thing I disconnected was the Mummy mech, but I have checked it multiple times to make sure it is plugged in correctly, but it only goes one way, so I'm at a loss. The auto launch mech was loose mechanically and missing one screw, but no loose wires or plugs to be found between the three solenoids.

Thanks!

Auto launcher solenoid was the culprit! The long screws that hold the bracket to the playfield were both loose (one had vibrated all the way out), which I suspect caused the coil windings to rub thru the paper and short against the bracket. See photo for where the arc occurred. I used lock tight to secure the screws, and put a piece of electricians tape between the coil winding and the bracket. Seems to have fixed it.

Question - Since the coil winding coating was compromised causing the arc, should I ask CGC for a replacement? Is there supposed to be some sort of insulator piece in there to prevent this? If not, seems like a design flaw to me.

Thanks for you help Lloyd!

Yes! I am struggling to fix this same exact thing. I too had to bend the right rail a bit. I have my game set at 7.1 degrees, with a 0.1 degree down to the left (measured between the flippers) and still have occasion cheap drains. I've fiddled with various playfield inclinations, and still have not perfected this pain in the ass adjustment.

@Rdoyle1978..... can you post a pic?
