Good evening, y'all.
I'm about a month into owning a LOTR! Love it.

It's seen some action, but in pretty good shape.
The machine is still running on the 9.0 ROMs. I look forward to updating it.

I have one question. As I haven't played many of these out in the wild, is the Ring magnet normally LOUD when it initially engages the ball?
This one buzzes very loudly. Reminds me of the sound of a transformer, or power supply, starting to die.
The buzz / hum only lasts for a second or two as the magnet fires up, during the initial power draw. It does not continue the entire time the ball is being held. Am I reading the symptom right, or is this normal?

In advance, thanks for any insights.

Ring Magnet Buzzing...

Is a loud "buzz" or "hum" normal for this machine?
It happens during the initial power loading onto the magnet. The buzz goes away a second or two after ball hold, prior to the ball getting released. It's louder that the other game sounds.

Thank you much!
