I have X Files, Lost in Space and Mary Shelly Frankenstein. I'm a big fan of Sega's, best bang for the buck in pinball. Great themes, toys and game play. Not always the best rules but a hell of a value for the money.

Color Dmd's would be nice. LED's and speaker lights are nice though.

I put the same pinball life coils on my x files. Talk about flipper power. Turns it into a incredibly fast game. They will be going on my MSF very soon.
I am curious what side rails you have on Frank.

I finally got around to putting pinball life gnr no-fadecoils on MSF today. As previously posted, they are awesome. Well worth the money and time.

They are stronger flipper coils. With the stock coils I had far too many balls go halfway up the ramp and come flying back down. Now it's easier to make the ramp shot. And during longer games the flippers dont lose any power.

The magnet board is a huge pain in the butt. From what I have read they are tough to get working and if you want a replacement they are almost impossible to find because they only used it on 2 games. The used ones I have seen are over $300.

I think that is the board. I believe the second game was Goldeneye.

While the board is typically the issue, it could be the magnet. Is it the one listed on FB for $2300, magnet board doesn't work and there is wear on the spinning disk?

After you replaced the ROM did you go into the menu and enable free play?

Sounds like the trough opto boards are not aligned correctly, or they are loose. There is a test in the menu system to empty the ball trough. If it works successfully then the optos are working and its probably an alignment issue. It happened on mine and it turned out to be that the opto board connectors were a little loose which caused them to fire repeatedly.

Just finished installing homemade stadium lights and a pinduino in my ID4. Here is the attract more I coded.

The shortened Frankenstein word at power up is completely normal. My MSF did it and so did my DE Star Trek.

Ramp and stadium style lights for X Files are done. Next up...ramp lights for ID4.

Typically it's the trough switches. I adjust mine a little on the high side so they always register. But some Sega games, like ID4, it can be the opto for the ball eject. The design for it is different than say X Files.
