is Phantom flip working properly on the remake?

Cool. Thanks. I owned an original years ago and the Phantom Flip worked occasionally, meaning it actually flipped when the ball went down the lane. Most times it would miss, the ball would drain and I would get a save ball. Game played but not as the so called Phantom Flip intended...

Thanks for the info.

Ok, so I have an AFMrLE. I really like it. I need to dial it in but so far, it's a great game.
I am on the fence for MB. Opinions out there, should I get one? It's not cheap but it looks so freaking sweet. I just haven't been able to pull the trigger.

Opinions from owners would be appreciated.

Thanks

My Iron Maiden has tons of dimples. It looks like bad complexion. My older W/B games have next to none.

I owned an original many years ago. I love the theme. The remake looks gorgeous just the pricing here in Canada is steep with exchange and taxes. If I could come across a resale, I'd be all in. Maybe I should just wait it out.

It's something never worked right even on the original.

Having a weird issue with my MBrLE. Whenever I turn on the game it won't start. I have to open the coin door and eject a ball into the shooter lane. All the balls get launched and it seems to be in search mode, then the game starts and plays. Once in a while it launches all the balls during the game. It also says I have a bad trough opto check wires and 12v. In test mode, all balls are properly seen in the trough. That message doesn't happen all the time. Also, if I open the coin door and then close it, game will not start. I have to do the same process to eject a ball into the shooter lane. Never seen this issue before. Any ideas? I plan to open a ticket on Monday.

Thanks

That was the firs thing I did, then I checked all the connectors on the backboard. Seems ok. So weird.

Also if I open the coin door and close it, game won't start. I have to repeat the ball eject process.

Thanks for your suggestions LGT. I checked the coin door and it's fine. I reseated the opto connectors. I don't seems to get the opto error anymore. It seems that the game may not see ball#1 in the trough (this may be why it doesn't start but doesn't say locating balls). if I eject the ball, it ejects all the balls and goes into some type of ball search test. Then the game starts. Plays for a bit and then the balls start to eject on their own. eventually it stops ejecting and I can let 3 of the 4 balls drain and continue to play until it does the same thing all over again. Makes for alot of multi-ball games. I think the opto board might be faulty but in switch test it sees all 4 balls when I drop them in one by one.

Also, in switch test mode I get continual Right Flipper Prox swtich going off. I moved it from 4 to 3 and it registers with just my finger on the playfield. I thought Eddy switches only registered with a ball. On 2/3rd setting Phantom Switch pretty much does not work at all.

Are these the 4 screws you were talking about?

Got it. Thanks. Did a slight adjustment. It plays ok for a while and then it starts just spitting balls out again. Could this be a faulty opto? What would cause the VUK to eject balls? I would think it would do it when it registers all 4 balls in the trough? maybe at one point the opto fails and the game thinks all 4 are there and starts continuously ejecting balls and maybe it comes back and registers properly and then stops? It never happens in test mode, it only happens during play. I can't see anything that might trigger it, looks completely random.

The balls are in the trough positioned properly, I watch as someone plays. Then all of a sudden it empties the trough and continues the VUK even when there are no balls there at all. Eventually it stops but there doesn't appear to be any pattern. Must be the opto. Also notice that when I open the coin door in attract mode, all the balls empty and launch from the shooter lane. Something really weird is going on.

Oh, awesome. I didn't know you worked to CGC. Thanks.

I had the same issue, light on the right side showed up in test mode but during Phantom Flip. Not sure if it was a coincidence but I updated the software and it works great now. Phantom Flip works perfect now, lights up and makes every shot.

This happened to me a few months ago. Opened a ticket and I was sent a new one.

Good luck.

I owned an original in 2005. Sold it. Bought the MBrLE before Christmas. I am liking it more than the original I previously owned. It's just so smooth. Trying to get Monsters of Rock 666 mode. Man that's hard. Game may be simple but it's not easy and by far one of the best themes ever. Not planning on selling mine any time soon. Get it you won't regret it. I sold my AFMrLE and I do miss it. If CCr is next, I am in as well.
