Quoted from jk2171:Biggest reason why I sold my Premium was the damn TK lock. When it worked…it was pure pinball joy. But shooting that ramp was a drag not knowing if it would work accordingly. I tweaked, tweaked, and tweaked some more. Did all of the recommended fixes. Never worked even 80% of the time. Even Gomez acknowledged that it could be done better. They make a new run with a fixed TK lock? Sign me the f up.
Yeah, that is super frustrating. And why I hesitated buying new, even though it was a desirable theme for my family. My AVLE required constant tweaking to maintain acceptable (not even flawless) gameplay. And that’s in addition to tolerating factory design decisions that some owners were literally hacking to make the game more enjoyable. I still loved the game and played the hell out of it, but it was a battle that I never should have had to fight. Shame on Stern for that.
