Under the glove? Also it can get tucked behind the back bumper

Quoted from EaglePin:

If you browse the picture gallery for this forum I'm guessing you'll find pictures showing a lot of different flipper colors. Here's a post I made showing a few colors after I got mine. These were low bounce Titans. I'd never played with anything except regular rubber before and ended up feeling like they were still more bouncy than I prefer so I switched back to regular red rubber. Just my preference though.

Quoted from LexiG:

Thank you both! I will definitely try this!

Quoted from awesome1:

First game back on AIQ in a week or two since I’ve been playing Godzilla mostly as work allows.
Didn’t get my high score (6.3B), but did get a couple mode records for me! [quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from C0untDeM0net:

How in the world did you get that soul gem score. Amazing

Quoted from Mileesa:

That's... what?... 4 or 5 AIQs from the recent batch with tower problems? And my Strange spinner just stopped tracking. :/

Quoted from shaub:

Im guessing he juiced up the Capt Marvel Shot Multiplier and then blew up one of the Gem Quests/Victory Laps with 2 portal locks going.
Definitely one aspect of the game Im really missing out on by owning a Pro instead of Premium.

Yup.

Quoted from AiriusTorpora:

Yeah the tower problem seems to be some sort of problem with the optos. I can reduce the scale of the problem by using tape to shield half the opto and the rejects go down in frequency, but still having problems with some fast moving super clean shots.

Don't forget mashing the green button for hard mode

Quoted from awesome1:

Too bad for the quest high scores it doesn't seem to count when you get victory laps, because 500M is about twice what I show as my best Mind gem quest. It did show 500M on screen for the Mind gem total, but I've had similar happen many times now where it doesn't beat the quest high score.

Quoted from BrandonLaw:

How is this augmented?? The launch ramp maybe too high? My machine gets weird (stops or goes a bit too high) 1/3 times from the shooter lane.

Quoted from Nacman:

I tried searching before asking....Can a player start a Gem quest without dropping the ball under the disc? I ask because sometime (seems to be increasing in frequenciy) when I get the disc to raise but no ball enters, it lowers and then I am in a Gem quest.
I know you can get a portal lock with combo shots, is that the same thing as starting a Gem quest? Or is this an opto issue?

Quoted from vikingerik:

And I'm in the club too, got mine Wednesday and been having a blast on it, even around some setup issues. Just had my best game so far, 540 million, four gems, including winning Thanos Attacks, and when I had the foresight to Change Gems right before to put Mind on Black Panther for free hits and Reality on Black Widow for the multiplier. (I think Reality's multiplier should work on Thanos Attacks shots? Didn't get to see the shot values during the game.)
My most beautiful moment was this: Iron Man MB, phase two, one ball held on each flipper. I shot Panther from the left (jackpot), Hulk from the right (jackpot), the returning ball from Panther up into the tower (super), the ball from Hulk came to the upper flipper to shoot Hawkeye, and from there into the tower for double super. The only thing better than flowing combos on this machine is doing it with two balls at the same time!
Bunch of assorted comments:
I've got both plunger problems. Autoplunger shots rattle somewhere and fail to make it around about one-third of the time. I decreased the autoplunger power to 230 which helped a bit but didn't solve it. Going lower meant clean shots wouldn't make it. I saw upthread that this happens when the ball is falling off the shooter ramp too early and too far to the left; I need to get slow-motion video to see what's happening.
My manual plunger never comes close to making it around. I think the problem is that there's a big gap between the tip of the shooter rod and where the ball rests on the autoplunger forks - the ball sits over a quarter inch beyond the tip. I think this is because the outer shooter spring is too long - has anyone tried either compressing that or replacing it with a shorter one?
I get launched balls stuck under the gauntlet frequently. Was there an official Stern fix for this?
I agree with the folks who say to turn UP the slingshot power to avoid outlane drains. That makes them often kick partway up the Thor and Panther orbits, for a slow return to gain control. It also helps in multiballs, they clear the area in front of the flippers more. Also get a few more random hits to the drops and Ant-man.
I get a lot of balls falling out of the left side of the Captain Marvel ramp, sometimes even onto the gauntlet ramp wireform, I definitely want to put in some kind of shield barrier there.
For slow returns from the Panther orbit, I've got the issue where the post there bumps the ball out towards the center. I kinda like it this way. Most of the time it goes to a flipper, and when it doesn't, I can see and react early enough to slap save. Better than hitting the slingshot I think.
Had some minor problems when a drained ball would sit at the top of the trough instead of rolling down. I think I got this fixed by sanding the edges of the trough groove, hasn't happened again since.
No problems with any of the following: disc (smooth and flush and level), subway, optos (none miswired or mislabeled as far as I can tell), or balls falling off the gauntlet ramp or getting stuck at the intersection of the gauntlet and CM wireforms.

Quoted from Antius:

I am also having some of these issues on my AIQ Premium and wondering if there was a consensus fix for them.
1) My Captain Marvel ramp has had issues. After installing the 3D printed mod to the left opening on the ramp, the ball feeds a lot smoother now. However, sometimes the ball actually gets STUCK in the wireform! Has anyone else experienced this? Am I safe to attempt to bend the wireform a bit, or should I go to Stern and request a new one?
2) Manual plunger generally never comes close to making it all the way around
3) Auto plunger sometimes launches the ball underneath the gauntlet
Thanks,
Antius

Quoted from vikingerik:

And I've got the opposite problem. My Captain Marvel ramp is too wide open at the top. Just after the standard plastic cover and just before the peak, there's a place where the wires are far apart with a huge opening, more than a quarter-inch wider than a ball. Balls fall out of here all the time, close to 25% of shots. Sometimes they even land on the gauntlet ramp wireform.
There's also a second problem area on the downslope where there's also a big enough space for a ball to fall out, and a few (maybe 5%) do.
I suppose I should talk to Stern support - do you think they would issue a replacement?

Quoted from Squeaks5635:

Been fighting a weak right flipper for a while now. adjusted eos and checked alignment. Everything was looking good but I could never hit a guantlet from right flipper and 75% of widow shots would roll back down.
Cleaned the playfield today and waxed it and that might just be the ticket. the right flipper doesn't seem to have any issues hitting either shot now and the game as a whole plays a lot smoother. All shots feel much more powerful. I can't believe the difference waxing the table made.
I feel wayyyy better now about how the game shoots.

1.)Check the plastic in front of the wire form carefully, make sure the end isn’t inside it.

Quoted from epthegeek:

Question for anybody that has installed the aluminum portal spinner from 1956PINHEAD on a pro.
I installed mine yesterday, and with the bearing parts (either all 3, or even just the bearing ring) on the shaft, the bottom of the shaft doesn’t stick out the bottom of the bushing/leveling bit to get the E-clip back on, even without the washer that it started with. I do understand that the leveling/bushing bit can be raised/lowered to adjust the height of the top of the disc - but that was just moving the whole thing up/down, the amount of shaft sticking out the bottom of the last bushing stayed the same. Is there some way to adjust the distance between the 2 bushings that I’m missing to get more of the shaft sticking out to get the washer and clip back on once you add extra thickness above the bushings?

Quoted from Da-Shaker:

Finally, I’m in the club. I’ve been wanting an Avengers Infinity Quest for awhile. My Pro model arrives next week. I’m wondering if people have some pictures of some fixed up Pro editions. I’m seeing a lot of Premium pictures, but not many Pro’s. I’m planning on adding some T-molding, speaker lights, leg lights and some other colorful mods. Would light blue be good for T-molding or yellow. Please tell me if there is any must have mods. Thanks in advanced.

Quoted from Gentax:

I have been trying for over a month and still cant reliably hit the middle loop does anyone have any tips?
The problem I'm having is that because of depth I can't visually see where I'm hitting so shots that hit the hawkeye target, shots hitting the post above the hawkeye target and shots hitting the post to the right of the ramp look visually identical to me

This may have been answered before, but suddenly my Avengers tower magnet has stopped catching the ball. The shot registers, but the ball doesn’t catch. Any advice?

Quoted from AiriusTorpora:

I am waiting on a new set of optos to see if it makes a difference. Do you have an April delivery machine from this year?

Quoted from PinMonk:

Do you have a multimeter? If you do, disconnect the magnet leads and set the multimeter to ohms and check the resistance.
If that seems ok, you can then reconnect the magnet and check to see if the magnet is being send a pulse in test mode (you have to close the coin door or pull the white peg so coils can get power) when you press the button to pulse it in test.
If you get nothing, you might have blown the magnet drive transistor and testing the mosfets on the node 9 board would be the next thing to check to see if one's bad.
Coil could have also shorted, but that's less-likely scenario.

Quoted from bigguybbr:

I ran into an odd issue while playing last night. After hitting the tower shot, it goes into the Hawkeye countdown like it normally does. However this time it paused after counting down and held the ball for a few extra seconds. It happened a few times after. It doesn’t break the game, it’s just odd. Has this happened to anyone else?

Quoted from hiker2099:

Sounds like Hawkeye level 2

Quoted from AiriusTorpora:

That is hard mode... did you hit the button to set it to hard mode, or had you made enough successful shots before all you get is hard mode?

Quoted from bigguybbr:

I was having a decent game and actually making the Hawkeye shots, so that must have been it. Cool beans.
I just switched over to titan silicone rubbers and it seems to have made things easier

Quoted from AiriusTorpora:

When I first switched to titans I noticed immediately how much more english the pinball picked up

Quoted from bigguybbr:

Especially on slings. You get a lot of spin. I think the low bounce flipper bands make trapping up 100% easier. Almost too easy

Quoted from Mileesa:

The problem with my Strange spinner on my new premium failing after a couple weeks was likely caused by the spinner post being too low and rubbing up against the mag sensor and damaging it. It came that way. For those getting a new machine I'd recommend checking that the spinner post is not doing this before playing.
