I was expecting to hear some “ this is the way” and “ I have spoken “ callouts. Don’t recall hearing any, are they in the code?

Also, I don't think there's a high score board for the 3 first wizard mod, only This is the way.

On the fly flipping during any multiball on any machine causes airballs when they collide.

dear sir or madam,

I hereby apply for membership in your honorable society... AND I could really need your wisdom!

Does anyone know where this annoying "brrrrrrmmmmm" sound comes from? It happens when the right scoop/ u-turn is switched so the ball can go upwards to the rail. It sounds like a motor, switch or relay is stuck, or like something gets permanent current/ power where it should only get a single pulse.

All I know is it's neither the shaker, nor the cooling fan nor a sound effect from the game. Maybe some cables are misconnected?

Thank you!

Not quite sure what noise you mean but if your talking about a buzzing noise when the up/down scoop is down, check the coil plunger, it’s likely now reaching the bottom of its travel, the plunger needs to reach the end stop bracket and make sure there no give in it when energised.

I disagree prefer the stern art blades better.

Wiz mod do the best after market art blades for Mando imo, the stern ones are great though for consistency of the art style.

Hi there,

before this is getting any bigger and may cause some troubles: I have just had a call with "my" technician and he has confirmed nothing is wrong but the right scoop/ u-turn is just making a lot of noise when operating. We have checked the playfield, switches, coils etc. couldn't find anything and in the end we had both our games running at each end of the telephone and I could hear his game making the same noise mine was doing.

So, thank you, but sorry for the confusion, the issue was in my side. I just don't know yet all the sounds my new game is making!

Just curious if anyone has had any issues with horseshoe shot registering consistently? I’m assuming it’s just the rollover switch?

Sorry mate that should have read “it’s likely NOT reaching the bottom……”

The coil that energises to bring the up/down scoop in the down position has a plunger and sleeve on it, if that is not making it all the way down to the coil stop and there is play in it once energised you will get that loud buzz from the scoop.

I had the same issue with my scoop buzzing really loud to the point it was noticeable with the glass on, compared to my friends game where his is almost silent.

Mine wasn’t reaching the coil stop and had play it in, adjusting it got rid of the buzz.

Yes and yes. It happens to me probably 1 in every 20 games.

Read my post above mate, your up/down scoop should not be buzzing loud enough to hear it clearly with the glass on during gameplay.

It's all about personal preference with the blades, and my personal preference... Mirror blades. I really like how they brighten up a game and give the illusion that this world under glass has no borders.

Occasionally but not much. Must be traveling too fast to fully compress it. Doesn't happen often at all. Not worth trying to bend the switch wire (for me) but you can carefully try.

I finally "Blew up the game" (for me last night) at about 450,000. This game reminds me of TWD in that I'll have 5 crap games than a great one. Keeps you on your toes. This is no Spider-Man. There's a lot to do here.

Thank you. This was my expectation, too. but we have check the hardware, the coil is moving fine, nothing seems to be loose. but I will have a second look, since the noise is REALLY annoying...

I have also been wondering about this; mine is audible (I usually play without headphones, volume at ~7 on upgraded 5.25" speakers) and I can definitely tell when the scoop is down from the low humming. I haven't taken the time to lift the playfield and do any testing on it yet though. It's odd that something like the scoop would continually hum when other sustained solenoids (like the diverters, magnet) don't.

EDIT: Unrelated, I had my best game so far last night (~411M, so still not great). Once you start getting and using beskar (buying Heal, especially) the game really opens up. Starting to strategize mission/encounter/flamethrower stacking, etc. The challenge is definitely there for me, but it continues to be really rewarding to play.

I also dropped the beskar on the "Random" award and finally got Dank Farrik multiball going in that game-- pretty great stuff!

Got so close to finally setting up my Mando last night. Reached the final item on my checklist: install Cliffy’s ramp protectors. And then I realized I don’t have a wrench small enough to fit in the space around the lock nuts on the ramp.

Now I’m waiting for Amazon to deliver a super thin wrench set today.

This is the delay…

Remove the razorcrest and you should be able to get right in mate. Left ramp also lifts up pretty easy too if your struggling.

My scoop diverter is loud as well and I just figured it was normal. Interesting that so many of us are seeing that.

I have a 1/22 build that has ramp protectors from factory on both ramps, are these not doing the job?

Apparently not. I was told that the break can happen up beyond the factory protectors. I put on Cliffy's and they are definitely longer and nicer.

Correct, the break happens right where the factory protector ends.

Ok good to know

Yep. Those are the same “protectors” they have been using since day one. They aren’t sufficient. Eventually your ramp will crack.

You don’t even need to remove it. Remove one of the two screws and it will rotate enough to get out of your way for the right side of the ramp.

I prefer removing it after my mate snapped off one of the gold guns at the front of his by accidentally catching it with his hand, those things snap easy I’ve seen a couple broken now.

I kept the protector that came on the ship and put it back on any time I need to remove it.

Anybody having the ball fly off the metal ramp at the intersection if you hit the right scoop from the left flipper? I've had that happen a few times now.

yes, this has happend to me even so often that I have bent this rail a little down. But some caution seems appropriate, since it seems it can easily be broken. AND now the balls coming from the right rail do sometimes hit the intersection and jump of the rail SDTM. So maybe not a good advice...

Yep. Make sure metal u turn is snug to playfield (if washers on both sides) and bend the rollover switch up. That's what I did.

This protector may be available on the Cliffy store. I just got it from Cliff a couple days ago and wish I would’ve had it from the beginning. I would recommend so you avoid any damage to your plastic.

If anyone else is having this issue shoot Cliffy an email. Maybe he will come up with a solution for us.

You can also adjust the diverter and ramp to ensure they are not coming into contact with each other.

Same - the Stern “heads’ art is just ok, but the art and colors are a perfect match, and they look great once installed.

Sadly I only had a giant wrench and a hex driver. The driver's circumference was too large to fit around the nut due to its proximity to the ramp wall.

But the small wrenches arrived this morning and it's all done! Waxed up the playfield and plan to let it fully cure before polishing and testing everything tomorrow.

That happened to me, but the gun didn't actually "break." The guns are molded separately and then fit into a groove lock/key style. My guess is that they're supposed to be glued in, and mine wasn't. I used a super tiny drop of Gorilla gel glue, re-inserted the gun and it's perfect now.

Ah damn, and I just spent a freakin' eon placing Mylar there after a gazillion attempts. I'll watch for it on his store. It'll be far more durable than Mylar.

I kept the shipping plastic and rubber bands that protected the Razor Crest and re-install that whenever I have to handle the Razor Crest. It protects the guns very well.

Welp my right upper flipper stopped working. Doesn't work in test so must not be getting power. Hoping for a broken wire/solder joint.

Has anyone removed the upper playfield to take a look at the coil wiring?

Anyone ever have this issue?

Not something I feel like digging into at 7pm on a Friday night.

Carl Weathers tells me "This is NOT the way" very often...

...I should get better at pinball.

it’s got to be a soldering issue

Anyone find the shaker a little too intense, Is there a way to make it more mild?

Never had this issue before.

There's a setting for the frequency of use but not shaker strength.
