Just picked up a RS, and it's insane.

It is in very clean HUO condition and I cleaned the and playfield and replaced a flipper transistor before playing. Almost every single shot forehand or backhand to the right ramp will launch either to the side or into the (very low) plastic tongue, and reject.

I turned the coil power to soft and it helped a tiny little bit. Game was very steep but I lowered it a bit, no difference.

Is there a way to raise the Tongue? Doesn't really look like it. Is this just a side-effect of a newly novused playfield and clean game?

Shots were also rejecting from the Charlie shot on the left, the plastic was a little low (I shimmied it higher) and it is getting air off the Mick track I suppose. It's a bit better now but ball still going everywhere and rejecting. Only clean shots on the game now are the orbits and the center ramp.

I don't think I've ever owned a game that was this fast and airball crazy. It reminds me of an F-14 with ski ramp bonus inserts.

Any advice or help appreciated. I've played this game many times (other machines) and it's usually a pretty smooth flowing game, but this is a mess right now.

Ill post some pics tomorrow maybe someone will see something.

Interesting. That info would be printed on back of the game and at the transformer?

This seems extremely unlikely. It’s a HUO machine domestic build.

The tilt Bob wasn’t even installed and the manual was still in the sealed bag.

Ok here’s the wiring and Diagram.

It indeed has a 115 jumper installed. But that’s correct? Or not?

I’d love to dial it back to 110 if it’s incorrect. I’m not really understanding this.

I’ll check it out.

Same place I’ve been for 10 years and my other games aren’t this ridiculous

OK...

so made game steeper. Also shoved some cardboard and a little painters tape under the tongue to raise it.

Did the same thing (well a post rubber) under the plastic above Rock Star/Charlie shot.

Not pretty, but I'm happy to say game is now playable. Actually started Rock Star for first time, and got Encore for the first time ever also.

I'm hoping the game just settles down a bit. It's basically brand new. I certainly won't be novusing the playfield again any time soon.

I honestly think the issue is that the mick track is a little "off" in that the high lip is a little lower than the lower edge. Might try sanding the high edge a little bit.

Yeah I've got some lower power coils on the way and will try that out. The game is settling down a bit as I play it more.

Yes I agree this game is much better than advertised. I don't know who did the main rules but you can tell that there is a bit of a Lyman touch; the modes are well thought out and fun to pursue, and the stackability keeps things interesting. Really enjoying the game.

People never get tired of complaining.

It's a great looking game. Doesn't look cheap to me. The molded 3D tongue is a nice touch.

Lol it interacts plenty with the ball on mine!

Aiiirrball!
