Quoted from Junglist:

Thanks, I was able to get the T-nut off and the teeth were completely flattened. The wood still looks in pretty good shape so perhaps it had never really bit in. So now that I've got it out and looking to just replace the T-nut and the bolt. the local hardware store doesn't have stuff like this so I want to make sure I order the right parts. I think I need the following:
One of these T-nuts - https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/4406-01118-00
Can I just tap this in with a hammer gently?

If you have a problem with the T-nut backing out, just secure it with a screw like Stern does from the factory now.

Quoted from Neal_W:

Don't trust Golem!
LotR has bad insert ghosting with LEDs, so I recommend sticking with incandescent bulbs for the inserts.

LED OCD has a Very nice solution to this situation.

I just went on a Valinor run but came up just shy.

The game is set to Factory, 3 ball, Replay with opened outlanes. There are NO scoring tier specific extra balls set on this game, only the ones that could be earned throughout the game.

I earned all of the gifts, destroyed the ring twice, completed all 3 multiballs and started There and Back Again. The last thing that you need to do is destroy the ring after everything else is completed. I had to start all 3 multiballs again to get back to Destroy the Ring. I had two started of the multiballs and was about to start the third when my last ball drained. SIGH! So close! I feel like I just gave birth.

Quoted from PinballCharlie:

DAMN! It is going to take another year or two to get that close again, lol!
You have outscored my best game by at least 2.5x - well done!

Thanks, buddy! I'll be back there in about a month after I clear my head. LOL

Quoted from Pin_Guy:

So close to Valinor again! All I need is completion of ROTK multiball but it seems like this in the one thing I consistently fail at completing.
I completed all the Gifts of the Elves, Completed TABA , Completed Two-Towers Multiball (Twice), Completed The Fellowship (Twice) which is my favorite mode BTW , and Destroyed the Ring TWICE! I did reach level 7 of ROTK but just can't seem to complete this damn mode GRRRRR....How many levels are there???
Any Pointers on this mode?

I was closer than you a few weeks back and couldn’t figure out what I was missing. I had to phone a friend after the game.

After you complete ROTK, you’ll need to Destroy the Ring again. It’s the last thing that you need to do before getting to Valinor. Basically, if completing your last multiball isn’t the 3rd of the three multiballs that you need to start to get to DTR, you’ll need to qualify and start the others to get back to DTR and then destroy the ring.

Quoted from WizardsCastle:

Having a few I was hoping someone might be able to help with...
1) Is this post with washer on top (see photo) supposed to be here? If so, it is constantly coming loose and rattling.
2) occasionally I get phantom hits on Balrog. Seems to only happen when he come out during regular gameplay, not fellowship MB. Any ideas what this could be?
3) I've had a few instances where two balls are locked for two towers MB, and the MB will start without hitting the sword ramp. Any ideas?
Thanks![quoted image]

1) It's supposed to be there. It's to eliminate a place that the ball could potentially become trapped.

2) & 3) Sounds like they're both switch issues that may need adjusting or replacing.

Quoted from RobDutch:

Also: my Balrog touches the ramp above the Gimli upkicker.. Anything I can do about that?

A picture of where and what is exactly touching may help.

Retro Refurbs ships to the US and has a repro Arwen plastic.

It’s not perfect, but it works!

Quoted from WizardsCastle:

Yes, tower shots is what I meant. Crap, I was at like 40.
As for DTR, I failed the first attempt, but then completed everything, and started DTR (and failed).
But had I finished DTR then, I would have been at Valinor?

The last thing that you have to do before you can reach Valinor is DTR.

#6511 3 years ago
Quoted from pinballjj:

You only need to complete DTR at the end after meeting all the other requirements to get to valinor
Completing it earlier just gets you an elf gift
If you get everything else done completing DTR is pretty stressful !!

This is true but if you don’t DTR earlier it means you’ve lost ball. To beat this game, you need balls! Figuratively and literally! LOL
