I have an LE no 088, I think it must have been built on a Wednesday when people lose excitement after having the weekend off and knowing they have to work another two days to get the weekend.
Anyway, I received this just over a week ago and the game play is so inconsistent it's actually quite depressing.

I followed Chuckworts tips on how to get the ball from the outside lanes to 'almost hit the flippers some of the time'
Worked for a short while.
Left eject, worked for a while.
So I thought It might need a few hundred games to settle in and then adjust.
This I have done and even though it still isn't consistent it's a little better.
The outlanes are ball magnets even at their minimum.
I had problems with the ramp sticking, this was due to loose hardware, tightened with lock washer but still came loose. Now Loctited in place.
Now the Telikinesis lock is super difficult, (it was ok), I have done the adjustments several times but still inconsistent.
The flipper power is on 255, I have Titan superbands. I replaced all the black rubbers for purple but I suspect clear will show the Upside down better. Why would Stern fit black rubbers when hitting all the white projector targets?

I just can't get any consistent game play. If anyone has any suggestions can you please advise.

I will revisit Chucks adjustments in another week or so, after another 100 games HUO.
Help.

Is it really just me or is this TK lock horrendous ?
I have tried the default adjustments which made it dramatically worse. Next step is the "try it and see" method.
I have also found that Chuckworts adjustments are great once done but 10 games later are all out again.
This is the most frustrating game, and adjustments I have come across so far.
The right return lane isn't too bad, bouncing to the left flipper. Apart from that the eject loop is super inconsistent and the left return lane still hits the slings, ☹️

#3404 4 years ago

Mate, I love your positive posts and I'm sure I will get there.
I think the left eject position is maybe a full through hole screw and nut so it stays secure, seems to get loose faily quickly.
The left return lane I may have to re drill the screws for the lane guide as I just cannot get it to consistently hit the flipper.
The TK lock has been adjusted to death. I think the recent post of " disable it, thank me later" is getting close.
I have 2 mates thinking about this game but there is no way they will spent the money is such a fractious game.
I will watch for your tips and updates.

AUD $14000 for such a great themed game is ok, I just think there are AUD $3000 worth of fixing it needs. Great game but so disappointing in some aspects of the LE extras.
Hopefully a manufacture or code update will nail it....

300 games in. My TK lock still sux but my plan was to spend all Sunday and adjust the crap out of it.
I love this game, however....
The left 'lite lock' tab has just dropped off ☹️
So depressing ☹️
