Were they wrapping the corners with the side art on these? Hope not!

Edit. I just researched this, and see that yes they were and some were cracking a bit.

Has anyone else experienced a lot of rejects on the Brides ramp? Mine with a good flip will loop behind the Bride, and stop at the apex of the wire ramp, and roll back down. Everything seems to be adjusted right back there. Frustrating.

Pitch increased to 7 degrees all good now thanks guys. Everything works great now, and I'm loving the Phantom Flip now that the game seems to have dialled it in! One small issue though. The domed lamp on top of the Creature Feature mode lamp board never lights. Is this GI for Frank? There doesn't seem to be a flasher test associated with it so I'm assuming GI. Anyway I checked wiring and connections still no joy. What should the voltage be at this socket?

Well looky here! I've bent one or two of these myself over the years no biggie! Frankie is well lit again

That's the metal cab corner protector. The leg isn't on in that pic.

Yeah they're a great insurance policy that I'm glad most companies are using on new games these days. Plus now that new games come with the leg bolts installed in the cabinet I can see how it could be confusing in the pic

Cheaper?

Yes I agree with this. We were just commenting that Stern likely switched to the plastic versions because of cost. They still work well though and I haven't cracked one yet. When I restore games I always install the metal versions and I'll never have to worry about wrinkled side art again

Will the mirror blades made for Williams games fit the remakes?

Same here and mine just trickles out. Maybe the original does this too?

Same here with the Phantom Flip at first. Now it works as designed, and I'm pretty happy with it. It actually makes needed shots a large percentage of the time.

Does anyone know which shaker is compatible with the Remakes? I have an SE.

There is a circuit board under the playfield where a bunch of the feature lights plug into. It has a socketed IC chip installed. Check that chip to make sure all the legs are straight and inserted into its respective socket hole. Mine was bent and not seated in the socket properly, and my Frankie spot light never lit at all. I straightened the chip leg very carefully, re-seated the chip and bingo.

It didn't work consistently at first, but I read here that the game has to "learn" for a while, and it eventually did after a bunch of plays. Now that sucker hits required shots very consistently for me
