Quoted from monte_:

Can someone show me how the spring looks on the underside of the lockbar where the pushbutton is with a picture. My pushbutton is popping out and alby states there is a spring underneath. I cant find a diagram in the manual. I found a spring on the floor next to pinball, but i am not sure it belongs underneath where the push button sits.

The spring is inside. (just buy a new one... the base of yours is probably busted)

Quoted from monte_:

I am talking about the button in the middle of the lockbar, not the shooter rod.

Sorry... I'm not sure what you're seeing on the Pinball Life link I posted... but the link should be showing you the lockdown bar button you need:

Quoted from Eskaybee:

I should mention, it's not an obvious sound quality issue. Just very subtle.

Maybe re-download & re-flash the ROMs? Possible corrupted audio files?

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Well. I guess that wasn’t such a good idea after all. Update unpack failed. Now game is dead Tried both USB ports. Gonna look for and/or buy another usb stick and try that.

Yikes! Sorry to have sent you down that road!

Regarding adjustment menus/features and reading the manual....
(I'll preface this by saying, the technical section (short of actual schematics), is very good.)

Is there some updated, generic settings menu flowchart/description guide out there??
Because to me, a lot of the settings are ambiguous and/or confusing. Example:
52 COMPETITION MODE NO
57 PLAYER COMPETITION YES
58 TEAM SCORES NO
...what do these mean? What is being adjusted? How do I use "Team Scores"? How is it Competition Mode?

In the SW:Prem manual:
41 CUSTOM MESSAGE ON
...That's it!!!???

But in older games, all the Std & Feat Adjustments were spelled out & explained much better.
Like High Roller Casino:
Adj. 29 CUSTOM MESSAGE
Set to ON, CHANGE or OFF. Default is ON.
When set to CHANGE (select the "+" Icon to change settings until "CHANGE" appears in the
display, then select the ">>" Icon to access.) This adjustment can be accessed in two (2) ways by either selecting the "S.P.I." Icon and
advancing to this Adjustment 29, or can be directly accessed by selecting the "ABCD CUST MSG" Icon in the ADJUSTMENTS MENU.
View the definition at the end of this chapter under the Custom Message entry for the operation explanation.

Or how about again in HRC, nicely spelled out:
Adj. 36 TOURNAMENT MODE
Set to NONE, IFPA, EXPO, PAPA or HOME. Default is NONE.
Tournament Mode determines the default conditions to quickly prepare a game for tournament play. When this setting is changed all
audits will be reset and all adjustments will be initiated to the particular style selected. The game will then return to Game Over
Attract Mode, as if a Factory Reset had been performed. NONE - Same as a Factory Reset conditions. IFPA - Straight 50¢ play, No
Replay, No Extra Ball, No High Scores, 2 Tilt Warnings and No Match. EXPO or PAPA - Same as IFPA settings except Free Play is enabled.
HOME - Sets game for Free Play, Extra Ball Play, No Replay, 10% Match & 30% Extra Ball.

Even as crappy as Tron's photocopied manual is visually... at least it explained stuff like this...
again in SW:Prem...
11 REPLAY BOOST YES

...but from Tron manual:
Tron:

Quoted from GeekedOnPinball:

Has anyone done a DIY lightsaber mod for star wars? I was thinking one over the shooter lane area up the side. Wondering what type of lighting they are using inside of them. I may just buy one but I really enjoy building my own when I can.

Not exactly DIY, but looks very nice: https://www.2niro-pinball.com/boutique/Light-saber-mod-p101286105

Quoted from wolffcub:

I just finished the design of the full kit and have if full installed on my machine and tested. I will sell it completely 3D printed ready to install with printed instructions. Tomorrow I will see what The average shipping costs are to send to the US and Canada and I will make an official post.
Let’s bow our heads to the sacrifices that were made to get this done. [quoted image]

There should be a way to melt down the bad pieces and make new filament to be reused.

Quoted from honkbahh:

I'm just trying to understand how things work, so I can understand current and future problems. I have no idea how coils actually operate.

Quoted from ExSquid:

Got my very first set of speaker lights from Pinlife today. Never had them in any games before. I go to install them and this screw is stripped !! UGH!!!! No idea how to go about this since it’s in such a tight spot I don’t want to ruin or break anything .

[quoted image][quoted image]

I had the same issue with the same screw on mine. I believe I ended up slowly & carefully using visegrip pliers to unscrew it a fraction of a turn at a time.
