Thank you.. I've tryed alot to get it there ,every 6 times it may make it once....

Mine is off route, have not done a thing to it (hey ive been busy) and it makes it to pops every time. Is your game leveled left to right and at what pitch?
Quoted from PeterG:Which Nr. Coil or color (blue, red, green)?
I put FL1-11629 (Blue) coils in. Also gets the balls up the ramps nicely. I do get an occasional fly ball, but not very often. FL1-15411 (Orange) would also probably work, but a little less powerful.

Here’s my kicker.
Could you be missing the rubber tip at the end?

If the micro switch got bent up during an over zealous cleaning, it might trigger prematurely. It’s best when it kinda triggers late during the ball roll over, giving it the full push/kick up.[quoted image]
Thanx man .., im gonna check,my coil # and make sure the switch isn't outa wack...

Is this were yours naturally sits ?
Quoted from Milltown:Is this were yours naturally sits ?
No. I pushed it out from behind the coil to show the tip

Ok cool...i was like wtf ? Mine is way off.. Haha
Quoted from PinKopf:Trying to figure out if I have a problem with mine, or just buggy software: do you guys frequently have multiball rounds end unexpectedly/jackpots seem to cancel out before shooting the cannon?
Everything works normally with mine, all switches test out going through each in the edges test. I don't think it's just losing track of balls or a normal trough switch issue and thinking I've drained, as the ball doesn't end and I've never had it think I drained improperly in single ball play. But I guess I will recheck those. I also don't think it has ever offered the pity jackpot grace period to load the cannon either when it does this... it's just boom back in single ball gameplay. Several times I've started payback time right in the middle of a multiball, I was thinking that shouldn't be happening.
Yes, I run into this all the time on multiple T2s and it seems like a software bug. I'm so fed up with it I'm currently in the preliminary stages of figuring out how to fix it... disassembling the ROM and going through the code that keeps track of number of balls in play.
Here is how it usually manifests for me: Start multiball. Now, lock the ball that is in play quickly before the game manages to get the other two balls on the field. At this moment the game becomes confused and loses track of the number of balls in play and believes that multiball is over -- if you locked the first ball in the gun, it has you take the shot to start multiball again; otherwise, it just ejects it from the lock and goes into normal single-ball play but with 3 balls on the field. Every time you drain a ball, you hear the "end of ball" music but then the game keeps going. This is super frustrating because when you get good enough at the game you start triggering it accidentally all the time by locking balls too fast and screw yourself out of your jackpot shot.

Quoted from tezting:Hi,
When I toke my T2 apart 4 years ago I forgot to take a picture of where the plastic where the glass slides under the siderails where placed. Do someone have an image or can tell me the distance?[quoted image]
Easy. Just slide the channel all the way to the back.
Quoted from Scoot:Easy. Just slide the channel all the way to the back.
Thank you!
Can someone tell me when the CPU inserts are supposed to light up in the center of the playfield. When I got my T-2 they stayed on all the time like they were part of the GI, however i had some burnt GI connectors and hacked wires. I redid everything and got rid of the hacks and now I noticed the CPU does not lit up all the time like it was. It does flash at certain times during game play. What is this light supposed to do?

hello friends how are you ... I need to consult them .. change all my T2 to LED. some give me ghosts .. few, but I have some.
I read looking for information that you have to change a room? this is true?? I tried all kinds of lamps. Bone change from one place to another and it is by sector ... example the lights of the target card under the hunter. Can somebody help me ?? thank you
I need some help.. again..
Has any one installed the "newer style lockdown bar receiver"?
My old T2 one was in very bad shape so I bought a new one. The only one I could find in EU was the new style one.
I think I had read somewhere that I could install the new style one without any issues.
But now I have tried and it does not seem to align up correclty?
Has anyone installed newer style lockdown bar receiver in a T2? And can you give advice? Or have I just wasted 110 euro

The CPU inserts are part of the GI and have a separate string (White-Green & Green). You can test the specific string in Test Mode under "Gen'l Illum"
... additional info
Just had a quick look and the manual doesn't mention the CPU string - here's a comparison between the manual and the test mode info from my machine for your reference:
Top Insert - White/Brown (manual) White/Brown (machine)
Bottom Insert - White/Green (manual) White/Orange (machine)
Left Playfield - White/Violet (manual) White/Violet (machine)
Right Playfield - White/Yellow (manual) White/Yellow (machine)
CPU - (not listed in the manual) White/Green (machine)
Not Used - White/Orange (manual)
So just check if you have all 5 strings connected to the PD board
The 3 playfield strings connect to J121 as shown below

Been meaning to drop you a message - I was looking at a post of your T2, is your Hunter Killer ship the Cinemachines Die-Cast HK one?
Here’s why my T2 had poor left speaker sound...
It was stuffed in between the speaker and the grill.

Likely the work of some dumbass (probably an operator) who doesn't know how to adjust the volume!

Have any of you had to repaint any of the bright orange keylines around your playfield inserts? If so, what brand and color did you use, and how close a match was it?
What's your record for consecutive orbits?
Hitting that 3 or 4 times back in 1992 was one of the first things to really cement my love of pinball.
Quoted from jibmums:Have any of you had to repaint any of the bright orange keylines around your playfield inserts? If so, what brand and color did you use, and how close a match was it?
You can get perfect match with createx fluorescent. I also think there Vid also talks about it in he’s playfield thread. (Might be wrong. But read about it when I had to do it)
