Just got MBLe #566! Very happy with it. Noticed the code version on DMD Dec 2018 1.0.2. Is this the latest?
Is it the same as the one on CG website? 102.7z?

I've had my MBLE Remake #566 for about 2-1/2 weeks now and just a couple days ago, the ball started having a rough time getting up in the shooter lane. Sometimes it will try 5-6 times to get the ball up there. In fact, it even went thru a ball search just as the ball made it up there once. Happens about 1 out of 3 times.
Any ideas what tweak is needed?
Thanks!

Will check later this evening.
Thanks LLoyd

Thanks will inspect it tonight. When I looked down into the up trough it looked like another ball was moving into place before the first ball made it up.

And I got two of those clips so I must have gotten yours. LOL
Not the easiest to put on either..

Still having trouble with the ball making it up into the shooter lane. Not all the time but when it can't, it'll fire it 7-8 times before it gets it up there, hitting the top of the up trough then dropping back down.

I checked the trough and the solenoid. It's all square/tight down at the contact point. I felt inside the opening where the ball comes out to the shooter lane and there is some sort of rubber stuck on at the top exit, maybe to absorb the shock of the ball on it's exit to the shooter lane.
Maybe it's not in the right place or the up kicker is too strong?

It's not like it happens all the time but when it does, it's unforgiving. Usually happens 1 or 2 times during a two player 3 ball game with no real pattern of when it's gonna happen.

I went into the CGC menu and turned down the trough popper strength to MIN from DEFAULT. I'll see what happens from here and report.

Also curious if other MB owners have that piece of rubber on the top side exit of the up trough to deaden the ball exit...
Thanks LLoyd

Still having issues with the ball making it into the shooter lane, even on MIN setting.
Can someone else please check their MBLe and see if they too have a piece of rubber on the topside edge of the trough where ball come out of?
I'm thinking the ball is hitting this due to improper placement and falling back down.

You didn't take that out of your game just for me , did ya??? LOL

Thanks! Still frustrating me from time to time getting balls up in the shooter lane. Gonna open a ticket with CGC and see what they say.

I know there are some suggestions on here but since it is a game within warranty, I'm gonna check in with them first.

Oh cool. I did create a ticket just before I went back on Pinside and saw your response. LOL
I have tried changing the coil strength for the up kicker from MIN to +1 and it did not help.
When it hits the top of the guide there is a pretty load clack so I think it misses the rubber top.
I'll see if I can video it and post the action so you can see it by tonight.
Thanks LLoyd.

Hi Lloyd,

I heard from Arturo from CGC a few days back.

He sent me a pic of MB with apron removed and instructions identical to your WOZ pic, showing where to bend out the metal flange a tad.

I performed the bend yesterday and played (2) 3 ball games with my sweetheart last nite. She got Monsters Of Rock multiball (again!) and got Hiscore #3 (182 Million).

No issues with the ball going in the shooter lane at all during the games and multiball feed.

Thanks!

The plasma disk is an awesome toy in the new MBLE remakes for sure.
I was watching it for a while and was wondering if the patterns it generates are totally random or are they repeating? Hard to tell with the naked eye.

Will updating the FW to 1.03 wipe out the Grand Champion and other hi scores?

I updated the code to 1.03 3 days ago and now seem to be getting SDTM ejects from the scoop where I wasn't getting any before.
Anyone else? If I need to make a scoop settings change, does anyone know what the settings are to make it behave as it once did?
