Quoted from MrBellMan:

Joined the Dirty Harry club today! Did not get a lot of time on it, but hope too soon. Game is in decent shape, but needs to be restored/shopped out.

It has the magnet wear and the ball sticks on that area during game play. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

Quoted from tslayer71:

I'm excited to join the club! Just got my DH this week. Judging from my picture I would say my magnet is mushroomed. So the only way to remove/replace is to take everything off on top of it? You can't push it through from under the playfield? Do you need to remove everything on top of the magnet so you can pry it loose/out?

thanks,
Tslayer

Quoted from TwilightZone:

How long have you been collecting? That's very, very common especially on DH. The magnet is totally hidden so most assume it is fine and over the years it gets worse and worse.

Quoted from tslayer71:

So what does installing the decal involve doing? I take it that it won't be as straight forward as sticking it on......

Quoted from Drumheadz:

I just finished shopping a Dirty Harry and everything's great except somehow
I find the sound to be "crackling" sometimes like the level is too high and it's clipping, Any DH owner who can confirm this is normal or not?

thanks!

Quoted from Aurium:

I can't seem to find the other end for what its for? Game dosen't show any errors / Credit dots..... Could anybody help with this?

Quoted from RipleYYY:

i have some interest in a DH, can you convince me it's (really) good !?
i'm already OK with the theme, and the calls out (even if i'm native french) from Clint itself
let's admit the artwork is just OK
i need more infos about the gameplay & rules, from a player point of view, as i feel the pin is quite easy and there're no much to do on it !?
in fact, already tested (only few games) and i finish it while scoring 2B pts... the videos posted on PAPA make me feel same idea...
than, did i'm wrong about it ? tell me

Quoted from t2:

Just got a Dirty Harry. 2nd time. Does anyone sell the ramps? Are there cliffys?

Quoted from indypinhead:

DH is easy compared to RoadShow or Demolition Man.

Quoted from Rascal_H:

Anyone else get a lot of rejected balls off the right ramp? I wonder if I just need a new ramp. Not going up as smoothly as I'd like when I have good fast shot at it. Maybe it's hopping when it hits he ramp and knocked down by the roof. Happens so fast it's hard to tell.

Quoted from Stones:

Has anyone ever made decals for DH? My cab is not bad, but I would like to powder coat DH....I'm afraid if I do this.....the imperfections of the decals will stand out....

Quoted from TwilightZone:

I also found DH surprisingly challenging. When I looked at it, I thought, "Piece of cake". The ramps, wire frames and diverter really increased the time to get it done.
I also did a DM and found that one a chore. I have a RS, as well. Fortunately, that one was bought shopped. Ted looks like he would be a pain to take apart.

Quoted from indypinhead:

It's not a "mod"...but I sell plastic protectors for DH

Quoted from Stones:

If you hit the safehouse....that stops Scorpio

Quoted from Billy16:

Maybe not the best idea, or maybe a good idea, but an idea for a topper...

Quoted from swampfire:

Wait, what - there's an Alcatraz MB??? +1 on the sub.
EDIT: found this by searching... "Alcatraz MB is the other wizard mode -- sort of. It's the end of the Safehouse awards that come from rank advances (via side ramp) then a shot to the lit Safehouse."
COOL!

Quoted from Billy16:

The star of the Dirty Harry club is about to drop out of the top 100. Maybe ratings are not important, but I'd like to see DH on the first page and not in the archive. No way DH does not belong in the middle of any top 100 list. If you haven't yet rated, maybe now would be a good time to do so...

Quoted from Weed_of_Crime:

Can anyone answer this? : my DH it's almost impossible to catch the ball on the lower flippers. Is this a trait of every DH? Or do I need to make some adjustments?
Thx

Quoted from Weed_of_Crime:

Just trying to hold the ball. So that it rests on a flipper and I can aim a shot.
Seems impossible. Always rolls off

Quoted from aerobert:

Picked two of these machines up recently. However one died on me after an hours play and gives me the double D20 blink, U8 bad ram. Haven't swapped the CPU board from the other yet but I will soon enough.
It's such a great game. Love it! Even made me rewatch the DH movie series again after about 20 years.
I love the skyline backbox mod. I found it for 35 bucks from some american seller, but they wanted 37 dollars for shipping overseas. No way. Haven't found it in europe. Will have to check out how an extra spotlight looks. You mean to light up the center PF more?

Quoted from Robertstone0407:

Anyone every ordered from here. I got a cherry dirty harry and new decals would push it to collectors level. Not looking forward to putting them on

Quoted from SpinnerAddict:

Maybe someone here has had this issue and can help. I’m having issues with my gun. Sometimes it loads a ball and fire then resets but other times when I fire the ball the gun will continue to swing back and forth and never reset. If I play with the trigger it sometimes resets. I took the launcher apart, changed the switch but still does it. Any ideas?

Quoted from alimerick:

Have done this to a TAF and it is nice and clear. Currently stock DH sounds like it is over the phone now compared to others in the room. Want DH to balance with other pins in the room that have had similar done. All the games are in the basement of hand built 1958 house. Basement has boiler baseboard heat but no AC except what comes down the steps. For all the games to fit in the room, operate on the electric that is available they are all led so less heat and room still needs 3 fans in the summer. Powered subs on a bunch would not work and it is the basement. All outlets are raised, all games are on surge protected outlet strips mounted on the walls. Nothing electric on the floor. Learned this the hard way a few years ago during a hurricane when power was out. Had to run an inverter to the car and run the car for 12 hours to operate a small pump to keep the basement from flooding. Ruined the battery in the car and really did not like messing with electric rigging extension cords like this in water. But Pins First after Family and house. Have a small propane generator now that can run sump pumps etc. Of course this is the only time this basement has gotten this way since the house was built but lesson learned. Was not fun spent weeks cleaning up stuff that was stored on the other side of the basement in boxes. On the plus side was a good time to have basement entrance door replaced with one wide enough for pins to fit through without having to remove the door and trim every time.

Quoted from whitey:

I have one coming myself, color dmd,speaker upgrade,Hot Rod plating
And LEDs a must for me . Best playfield mods ?

Quoted from Scoot:

I am sure he is referring to the standup switch target next to the left ramp. I have never seen one without any damage. I have heard of people trying to add a metal backing and such, but don't think there is a solution for it other than a replacement. The gun shoots the ball with so much force on the target and ramp, that there is always some damage with the machines in the wild. Even the promo video for DH shows damage on that target.

Quoted from jk:

Almost ready to pop the playfield back into the game. I still need to order a few targets and some target foam. I can’t seem to find where this red wired connector fits. Anybody know if this connector is unused? Or what it connects to?
Also do the playfield slide assemblies need to be greased? Which kind of lubricant?

Quoted from bssbllr:

It is not, I added a drop target that is fully functioning and that plug continues to hang there with no connection.

Quoted from TateCenter:

Hello.
I just joined the club a few weeks ago and love the game. I have run into my first issue with the game. Anytime I press the left flipper button it scores 2 million points automatically. After 5 presses it gives 10 million magna force award. Also at the start of the ball the three options flash up and then disappear before a choice can be made. I have checked all the wires to flipper coil and everything looks clean. There are no errors. Having the game for only a few weeks I am not familiar with the scoring. Anyone have any idea of what shot is worth 2 million? Could it be magna force? The gun does launch the ball normally. Unfortunately I do not have the schematics yet. Still trying to find those. Thanks!
