Any chance that a Weird Al P3 machine will be available to play at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo (SFGE) in July? Thanks!

Anyone have any tips on changing out the upper flipper rubbers? I have the mech pulled out of the game and I have the 2 screws removed that hold the steel plate on top of the flipper. Is this metal plate supposed to separate from the plastic or is it glued in place? I'm afraid I'll damage something if I try to force it apart.

P3 glass is standard size BUT! Is beveled on all sides. Feels so good handling… small but nice

The shaft that the flipper pivots about is welded to that top plate. It's a tight fit through the plastic, but it can be lifted upwards while rotating to free the bat to change the rubber ring.

Just be careful not to rotate the metal plate when it is contacting the top of the plastic to avoid scratches.

You can shoot an email to [email protected] if you need further assistance.

Weird problem on my P3. All of my GI lighting, and some of my scoops' lights are out. The P3 logo is dark too. This a fuse issue you think or something else?

Contact Multimorphic tech support. Speaking for myself, I've never had such great service. Prompt, easy to follow replies with great instruction.

Making sure the module is seated properly is key when swapping modules. The one thing that will also be key to do when swapping out will be to put all the balls back into hopper from the staging area before putting the next module in. It can also prevent the module from seating all the way down properly. Enjoy Weird Al! Can't wait for mine to show up!

There's an article on the support site which explains which connectors to check if there are issues with the lights on the walls or scoops. Given the ones you have out this looks to be a disconnected connector on the back side of the board. You can probably get access to it with the upper module removed and you may well see the ribbon connector just hanging loose. Lights on the left scoops or right walls (not scoops) are on the front side of the board and you can see those through the coin door. I've had a front connector work its way loose while rocking to Scott Danesi's ROCs tracks with the bass up nice and loud.

Make sure you're powered off before removing the module or disconnecting any interconnects.

And as Mr68 suggests feel free to submit a ticket if you need more details or support.

The polycarbonate sheet over the playfield LCD reflects light. So if you use an anti-reflective sheet of cabinet glass, you might actually get double reflections (one of which will be frequency-shifted and look greenish). That said, we know some folks put anti-reflective glass in their P3s and love it. It really just depends where the light is in your room.

The LEDs for the backbox P3 and the playfield overhead "GI" all come from the same wall/scoop PD-LED board that Mocean referenced above on a single ribbon cable. So it sounds like two connectors on your PD-LED are loose. It could also be the other ends of both cables, but I'd start at the common point, which is where they come off of the PD-LED. It's on the front of the wall assembly, visible through the coin door, but you might need the chassis in service position to reach it.

Just now realizing my game came with a signed translite by weird Al ! Awesome !

I use Voodoo glass on my P3 on every stream I do. Looks great, wouldn’t play without it.

Yep. I have PDI glass in mine.

Thank you for your kind reply. My questions were not meant as a criticisms, so apologies if they came off that way. I simply think an option for front art and a shaker would be "nice-to-haves".

I was able to play a Weird Al this past weekend and was blown away. Before that, I hadn't played a P3 since the first year the original machine was shown at Expo. At the time I went away with a "that is too weird" mentality and unfortunately ignored it's development until the Weird Al announcement. The evolution since that time is amazing, and now the flippers, slings, etc all feel every bit as good as any other machine. I have been missing out. I am very happy that I took a chance and got on the Weird Al list, and can't wait to receive mine this fall!

Weird AL got a very great response at my Queen Anne's Revenge Tournament this weekend. The game held up well, no issues to be had for the entire day. This will be very good exposure for P3. People are finally giving it the recognition it deserves.

I do have an issue once in a while, where the scoop wall will get slightly stuck on the way down and stick up about 1/2" once in a great while. Also my farthest right 2 scoop wall pieces are very close (almost rubbing) on the module playfield. Wish there was a way to center them better. So far it's not an issue, as the ones that stick are not super close to the module. :/

Yeah...there was a lot of excitement and I didn't hear many complaints. I think it surprised many people. The only complaint I heard, and which I share myself, is the upper flippers are pretty hidden which makes it hard to aim upper flipper shots accurately. I wish the plastic above them was cut out a bit so you can see the flipper bat. I am not sure if brighter colored flipper rubber would help, but it's worth a try. I am sure that will be less of a concern with more practice though. I did notice the scoop staying up a little a few times, leading to airballs. But they seemed to fix themselves quickly most of the time. Other than that though, I didn't notice any issues at all, and that machine was played literally all day long. It was awesome!

I will be changing the upper flipper rubber to orange or yellow soon. We will see if that makes a difference.

I have red on all my flippers (including the upper right, and will put on my upper left when WAMONH gets here). I think it does help a bit, but once you know the flippers are there it's not a big deal either way IMO.

I heard that all Multimorphic games have team or co-op play available but i can’t find any direction on how to start it. Can someone tell me how start team or co-op play?

Hold a flipper button when pressing start to open the feature menu.

You can start a coop game by enabling team play when two or more players have been added. When using profiles, each player (for coop) must use the same profile. With this you can do 2v2 or 3v1 or whatever.

That menu also allows for Bluetooth headphone connection and per-profile setting changes.

You can also access this before launching a ball (again with flipper+start).

Thank you! I look forward to tying it out on some games.

Finally joined the club! Looking forward to nerding out with more people as Gerry and co. begin pumping these out.

Word of advice for new owners with a basement: consider removing the module / flippers / playfield monitor before lugging it down. I went down with everything still in it and it was the scariest 2 minutes of my life

Nothing can prepare you for the mass of these things. I think they might create their own gravity.

Moving these machines is no joke.

Don’t tell your friends which machine you are moving or you might not be able to find anyone to help you! Haha

Curious, I see the machine and 2 playfield modules there. Did they ship 3 playfield modules in that photo or 2?

Weird Al module shipped in the machine. The other 2 on the pallet are CCR and Heist.

Oh, I'm resigned to staying in my present house forever so I never need to move it again!

.

I don't have to bother friends to move games. Cup of coffee and my Escalera makes me fearless.

On the other hand, my friends bother me to borrow the damn thing.

I resemble that remark

this is exactly what I bought as well.

Not planning to move it to a pinball show either?

i wouldn't. This thing is a monster to move. I would never take it to a show or leave the house ever. It's also the reason my p2k never leaves.

go to home depot and hire a day labourer to move it.

I went by a friends house last night (thank you Tim ) and finally got to play a P3. Wow !! It blew all my expectations away . I had contacted Kevin (BP) a few months ago to chat about it and and I can’t thank him enough for taking the time to answer the questions I had .Tim has a vast collection of pins that I wanted to dive into but ended up only wanting to play and talk P3 .The number 1 question I had answered was “Yes,this is a physical pinball machine !” This is 100% on my radar now after I get through some incoming .To anyone here that is on the fence I highly suggest finding one to play .With MM having added they’re first licensed theme I can only imagine where this train is headed ! I hope to get on the train sooner than later .Will be following this thread .

Do people really think P3 isn't a physical pinball machine still? How that perception exists still is baffling to me.

after seeing the pics of the chic trying to fill a laundry basket with gasoline (basket had 100's of large holes in it), Humanity never surprises me on the amount of stupidity it has.

I guess that didn’t come out as I intended .What I meant was I had no clue (since never getting to play one ) how it felt to shoot . “Does it shoot more like a Stern or a Zizzle ?” As far as Captain Zero calling me stupid …I’ll just leave it alone , no need to waste a breath on someone who purposely names themself after some fantasy character .

That didn't happen.

You chose to interpret the comment that way despite it being obviously not saying that. Then you were rude. You are in the wrong mate.

I wasn't calling you stupid. But I do have people try and tell me that P3 is a virtual machine. And I have to go through the long speech on how it's real pinball with a moving playfield. Wasn't referring to you.. I was directing that, at the people who have never seen P3, totally disregard it, and swear up and down that it's a virtual pinball machine. And I have to have lengthy arguments with, and tell them they have their head up their ass.

Neo what games do you have now?! I always look at the MM shop...and then say..well I didn't buy stuff this week and buy a digital game hahahha.

Looks like my game is shipping out Friday!

I have Weird AL, CCR, Heist and Sorcerers apprentice.

NEO, no barnyard? Ranger in the ruins is a fun game as you always have the 1 more game feel.
