Yup. Not the best design. You can shave a little plastic off and/or rotate the actuator arm away from the playfield a bit.

Thanks Yancy. I was considering a trying to find a different screw, one with a flatter head. I don’t know what you mean in your second suggestion though.

It's hard to explain, kinda subtle. Loosen the allen screw on the pawl just enough to rotate the actuator arm. Pull the leading edge of the white plastic away from the playfield. Doesn't take much to clear the screw head. This makes the trailing edge even lower, but usually it doesn't travel far enough to hit the screw head there. Actuator will no longer be parallel to the playfield, but it doesn't matter as long as it hits the EOS switch.

then it will always be on, even when the machine is turned off.

Thanks again, you’ve explained well!

I use a power strip plugged in here with a 12v relay connected to coin door that turns power strip (plugged into service outlet) on and off with machine.

More specifically, I used the 12v power supply from board near the door that was for a bill validator (don't remember connector ID # off hand).

Mine, too, had an issue with one of the flippers. My lower left flipper was getting caught on the EOS switch below the playfield, causing it to stay in the active position. I didn’t appear to be able to shift the switch back at all, but loosening the screws that held it down (which also holds down a plate holding a spring) seemed to provide enough clearance for it to swing freely. Hoping this doesn’t cause an issue with things being somewhat loose and jiggle-able, though!

We may all have to try pressing the left flipper button when going for a Hulk shot to allow more room... kind of like going for the Camera shot on Twilight Zone.

It’s also worth checking your upper flipper is inline with the flipper marker, mine out of the box was inline with the artwork of the hulk orbit which looked right visually but made the orbit a lot tighter.

Putting my flipper in the correct place inline with the flipper marker made a night and day difference I think from a Gamma Ray Spinner champ of 7mil to 33mil.

So I’m contemplating aiq for those that own a premium/Le where does it sit within your collection? For example my current 1-7 is
TWDLE (always will be the king)
Tmnt Le
WH2O
Deadpool premium
Xmen magneto
Iron man
WOZ
I have room for 8 and the above list is bordering on 7 keepers!

i have TMNT LE, WONKA, SW Comic Premium, and Avengers Premium, JP Premium coming this weekend. I also owned Deadpool premium for a year and a half. TMNT LE is my least favorite of the bunch and Im selling it soon.(still a good game but it hasnt clicked with me). Avengers is truly awesome and the code isnt done. The shots are awesome. Id say its at the top of my list but were still in the honeymoon stage. I really love my wonka as well. Id say Avengers might end up in the top 2-3 for you. The shots are more interesting than deadpool which is saying a lot, but deadpool callouts are hard to beat!

XMEN Magneto is the weak point in that collection.

You need an Elwin game. 2yrs later and Maiden pro is easily my favourite game. Avengers premium will be set up tomorrow evening. We'll see where it stands in a few months. JP is also stellar butni need to save my money just incase there is an Elwin BTTF in the works.

what does BTTF stand for?

Back To The Future

Connection CN6 on the power distribution board (in the backbox) is +12v and unused from the factory. It powers on and off when the game is powered on and off.

I’m getting a lot of rejects off the top plastic on the Black Widow ramp. Anybody have this happening? Any suggestions?

Another titan regular flipper demolition. I was reading these posts today thinking "man, I'm glad mine isn't doing that" then went home to find this when I looked for it I'll send a direct email then Titan_Pinball

Does nobody use prefect play rubbers from pinball life? I've never had any issues with them, do ppl not like the compound or something?

Is it connected? On mine the left screw had fallen off completely and the right screw holding the plastic down was almost completely unscrewed. The plastic was kind of flopping when the ball went up.

Yikes! That flipper tip must really take a beating. If you haven't seen it already, here are a couple tips for flipper rubber and slings:

When installing flipper rubber you should always "unload" the tip. This means after the rubber is on the flipper bat, pinch the rubber and push it towards the tip of the flipper bat to slack the tip of the rubber as much as possible. Stretch it towards the tip until you see a visible gap between the tip of the flipper bat and the rubber. It will also help to rotate all of the rings once a month or so depending on the playing time.

The same method can be applied to slingshot rubber as well. I pre-stretch a little bit, then put the rubber on the sling posts and then pull 2 different sides at a time, repeatedly. The object would be to make the tension across the three posts as even as possible. Also, check the post groove for sharp corners. Star posts and metal posts can have sharp edges to the grooves that cut the “skin” of the silicone ring, and then they fail.

If anyone else has ordered Titan Silicone rubber for this game and is experiencing any issues, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected].

Thanks,
Eric

Does nobody use the black rubber Stern installs at the factory? Not seeing any wear on our factory flipper rubber after a couple hundred plays...

I've had to replace mine 3 times now, I hate to do it but I'm gonna throw a superband on the upper flipper.
they don't feel great, but can put up with a lot of punishment.

Just got my pro delivered today, from Jason at Classic Game Rooms. Just wanted to give him a shout out for an amazingly fast delivery.

Handful of games in, without code update and the spinner wasn’t registering movement. Simply unplug and replug on the connectors fixed it. I know a lot of folks have posted more serious issues, questioning QA. Just wanted to post a positive, as I see this as a simple shipping dislodgement of the connector.

Love this thing. My pre-teen son is a huge fan as well. I just hope they revisit call-outs a bit. Thanos sounds like the hulk in some cases(tilt warnings). Wouldn’t mind some more insults as well!!!!

Code just updated... guess I better see the difference.

Well, after the code update, same issue with the spinner not seeing movement. Red led Flashing 3 times underneath when I lifted the pf. Not registering movement in the strange disc test. Unplugged and replugged again and got a steady blink, registering spin and working during play.

Strange...

So after an hour of weird, intermittent response from the strange spinner, and confirming the connectors were solid, I loosened the nut to bring the sensor just a shade closer. Seemed to be working after 5 games. Hoping that I’m done...

You’ve got 7 with room for 8, definitely get an AIQ to fill up your final spot.

The theme is a huge win for me and my family but ignoring the theme it’s the shots and combo possibilities that truly make this game shine and when you start to combo and link all those shots together this game goes to another level.

Code is only .93 but is already great, if you like TWD code you will love the structure to AIQ, tonnes of depth and so many different ways to play it and approach the game.

No.1 game in my collection hands down.

I use them and have zero complaints.

Is it too late to chuck another purple flipper ring in my order?
Checking, checking...
Yes, yes it is. I got the tracking order yesterday.

My distributor: Our delivery team will call you next week to set up a delivery time.

Me: Is it already there if i can arrange to pick it up this week?

My distributor: Yes

I had a hard time finding a rental last minute but im picking up a van in 2hrs. Today is the day!!!!

I take the black rubbers off my new pins before I play a single ball. Reason: the black rubber is the source for all the black ball trails that appear on a playfield over time. None of my pins have any signs of those ball trails after applying Titan rings.

I do, zero issues so far.

I thought i was the only one who didn't immediately load the game up with mods and change all the rubbers.

I change the rubbers too because I hate cleaning the game all the time. I would definitely leave the upper flipper as regular rubber though in this case.

I always leave the posts. The flippers and slings do the most when spreading that rubber around.

Yeah I replaced my upper flipper titan with the factory rubber. Titans everywhere else holding up fine, just those direct shots I guess are brutal to this one.

Raise it up a bit with a washer under the plastic at the posts.

If it ain’t broke, leave it alone and play the game

Not just you, I’m in the no mods club too, working on my own Mjolnir and flasher set up as Thor multiball is a little lacking on lightshow, but other than that I’ve just played the hell out of it and protected the playfield from the Ant-Man rail. Upper flipper rubber is still perfect!

No mods in the game yet so still in the club, bite me yancy! You ain’t having my membership card until I mod the game.

Anyone else having issues with the Strange spinner not recognizing movement? After adjusting (see post #2827), it worked fine for that session, when I booted her up this morning, same issue: no advancing of strange during multiple spins.

I've learned that the red LED for the sensor board, blinking 3 times indicates some kind of error. A regular on/off LED indicates (I think that all is well.)

I'm at the point now, where simply by opening the coin door, disabling the power safety, seeing the 'on/off' of the board, close door - seems to correct the problem (in the middle of a game.) So I'm not even touching the PF.

I'm not against mods, just thought I was in the minority not loading it up day 1.

I had my Titan order ready to go when the game arrived, but I got a little intimidated by seeing just how much I'd have to take apart for some of the slings, so I held off. So far the black poopy trails are pretty minimal, and I don't mind wiping the game down each week.

I had no trouble taking the plastic Guardians ramps apart, for instance, but the way these metal rails bend and twist, and seeing it be so easy to get rejects and fall-offs if things aren't perfect, I'm holding off until I really need to.

Are others seeing delays in the Premiums? I keep getting told “one more week.” Have the issues with the subway set back manufacturing that much?

Do the other types of flipper rubber not disintegrate, or are they just disintegrating into harder-to-see bits?

Those glossy urethane Superband rings look good and don't ever seem to break down, but I don't like the way they play. I still have a set on my SC because that game seems to eat flipper rubber for lunch, but that's it.

They do no leave the black ball trails like the stern rubbers.

Super bands suck but last forever.

Titans are a good middle ground even though they tend to break sooner than good regular rubber and really break down quick in certain applications like noted here.

Any time with perfect play chuck? I’m curious how they compare but won’t be buying any rubbers until this stupid 25% tariff disappears.

Never tried them. Never been disappointed with Titan to try anything else.

I did see some GNR owners note that the perfect plays on their games were wearing faster than the Titans. I guess JJP uses like 3 different companies for rubbers/silicones in their games.
