Is the right opto on the U scoop supposed to have a red light? I have a feeling it’s not working. When I do a switch test it registers exiting the scoop but during ambushes when I hit the u turn scoop nothing happens. I hear a small sound as it exits but I assume it’s supposed to collect the hurry up?

Ok so In switch test the scoop opto registers as right ramp exit and the right ramp registers as scoop exit. So I’m guessing they were installed incorrectly. Problem is that there is nothing labeled scoop exit in the bottom of the playfield. The connector that I marked in green is labeled right ramp Exit, I’m guessing I should switch it with the connector I labeled in red?

Where did you find it?
Ok first impressions is that this game is ridiculously good.
Grigu magnet is actually cool with lighting effects
Upper playfield is super fun, love being able to get up there during modes/multiballs
Super fun to shoot with tons of shots, feels a little like twd
The u turn scoop is just awesome and super smooth
Great music and assets
Stranger things 2.0? Brian eddy is an under appreciated genius…
Quoted from Dynasty5211:Where do you purchase the Mylar? Also my Insider lights up when I use the code off my phone but doesn’t seem to monitor progress on the app. Am I doing something wrong?

Quoted from mbrave77:Not mando specific, but whats the best way to have the inlanes setup to avoid any ball bounces when going through the inlanes and hitting flipper? Its tried to make it perfectly flush and that doesnt seem to do it. Ive tried having ball guide a bit above flippers which seems to help a bit. But its never perfect
Did you change your flipper rubbers from stock?
Quoted from crujones4life:Can everyone who can reliably backhand the right ramp post what flipper strength you are set at? And if you know what angle you are at can you post that too?
Define reliably? If it’s a clean shot it will make it but it’s tight. 6.7 stock strength
Quoted from Jeffswack:Mine broke almost immediately when I received it in March. Probably came a month later. No tracking. I went to my distro and it just showed up.
Where did it break? My game came with metal protectors at the entrance from factory
Quoted from J85M:All games came with metal protectors on the ramp from factory, problem is they are a little too short and don’t actually protect the part of the ramp that gets the most impact.
Upgrade to a set of Cliffys asap mate as it’s only a matter of time before that one unlucky shot cracks your ramp.
Gotcha, thanks… just ordered though if anyone has an extra set laying around I’d buy it also since I think cliff is a few weeks backed up
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Might have been the connector for the moving Razor Crest at one time. That design was scrapped for a static Razor Crest according to Brian Eddy.
Man… If stern could surprise and add a UV kit level upgrade for this game…
Quoted from Xelz:Just installed my official rifle side armor. I found it interesting that, while it uses the original bolts at both ends of the cabinet, it doesn’t use any of the original two wood screw holes and asks you to make new holes in that gorgeous cabinet art.
I opted to just attach it with the bolts and left the wood screws off. This does make the armor a little wobbly in the middle and below the flipper buttons. I cut strips of sorbothane to wedge in these spots, which filled in the gaps and absorbed most of the hollow metal noise.
Interesting, maybe I can bend them a little so they sit flush. Definitely not drilling the holes, I never drill the holes near flippers when installing armor anyway
Really loving this game! Just two things so far that I wish they tweaked with code
1. Make the skill shot a single shot into the scoop/u turn that you have to hit on the fly, like Deadpool, and make the timer short so you have one maybe two shots at it, then another short timer to hit your second shot and qualify whatever you want. I don’t like the endless timer on the skill shot
2. Once you start an encounter, Keep the encounter music going if you fall out of the UP as long as you can re enter through the ramp or until I start another mode. Also once you start an encounter don’t show me the animation again just get me back up there ASAP
Quoted from J85M: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.
Hey man can you clarify this?
“ 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”
My scoop makes a buzz when energized I just assumed it was normal. What do I need to look for and how do I fix? Thanks
Quoted from J85M: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.
Thanks dude, I’ll take a look and see how I can adjust it. Mine is definitely loud and I can hear it even when wearing headphones
Quoted from Apinjunkie: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.
Def, though I think the LEs blades for mando are the sweetest blades out there… to bad the regular folk model is so different

So how do I go about adjusting this? It does seem like the scoop stops before the coil hits the stop. Also, The coil stop looks to have a little imperfection, maybe that’s the issue?

Ok so it’s tricky but I adjusted it. need to loosen the black screw in the scoop with an Allen wrench, pull the coil all the way down, then tighten the screw making sure that you leave a little bit of play in the scoop when the coil is all the way down. It’s not 100% silent but I can’t hear it headphones while before it was obvious
Quoted from FamDocKevin:I have an LE at home, and played a Pro for the first time on location yesterday. Maybe I was just "in the zone" when playing the Pro, but the left ramp felt MUCH easier to hit.
Is it possible there is a difference in ramp entrance setup angle or width between the Pro and LE/Premium??
No way, pitch, level, flipper rubbers, day of the week, placebo effect
Quoted from Psw757:Ok I tried this, reduces a bit but doesn’t feel as smooth as the stern shaker on my other machines.
Is that likely the shaker or how it’s coded?
Might just send it back. Never had this issue before.
It definitely shakes more than other games, typically the pinball life shaker is less intense than the official stern or other brands
Quoted from spicekabay:Congratulations! After I had finally acknowledged what J85M is saying is true, I since then fumble around with a L-shaped 3mm hex allen key having no luck even inserting it into the black screw. how did you manage this?
It’s tricky, I have this micro tool set from wiha that came very useful. I think I used a 3/32 hex bit
A5DA7986-013C-4B97-9ED5-62D9D6F9E158 (resized).jpegQuoted from torpedo2k:No good shall come from this. Only a couple hundred plays. Coil stops deteriorating rapidly. Raining particles in the cabinet.
It looks as if it it a copper/brass(?) material on the base that is chrome/galvanized plated?
Anyway, new stops on order.
[quoted image]
Normal, flippers generate small amounts of particulars after every flip. just play your game and order replacement coil stops just in case.
