Hello all

Should the ball hit the top of the right sling when coming down from the right orbit? I have it leveled 0.0 side to side and I have tried 6.5 and 7 degree slope. It seems like it was designed to hit the top of the right sling? If I shoot the left orbit, it comes around fast and goes directly to the right flipper missing the sling, but if there is a short plunge, it hits the sling.

Appreciate your help.

Thx Scott. The family is loving this game.

A new issue popped up today. I am seeing random colors throughout the playfield and the timer clocks are jumbled.

Suggestions?

Also, all the ribbon cables underneath the playfield are hot glued to the boards. I dont know if that is stock or if a precious owner did that, but it complicates things. If I needed to remove the hot glue , how would I go about doing that without destroying every light board?

Also, I am on the lasted code 1.42.

I lifted the playfied and noticed all ribbon and molex connections have hot glue on them. I started the game back up again and it was back to normal, but before the end of my game, it was showing multiple colors and the timer was not showing real numbers on either timer. I am hoping this is something central and easy to fix considering it is impacting all of the lights. When I go into light test, it will not not show all green, blue, etc....it is all mixed.

I peeled the glue off of the ribbon cables between the bonus lamp board and the ball saver display and reseated those connections. This fixed the issue for half a game and it went back to the same issue. The bonus lights are all different colors and they stay solid and the clock is not readable. Is this likely a bad ribbon cable, another spot I need to reseat?

That was it Scott. I pulled the hotglue off the first couple connectors off the gray serial cable and reseated them. Tested and it was still an issue, so I kept going to other connectors along that gray cable. Ultimately I think it was one of the 2 pin connectors powering the Bonus Lamp board, which are hard to push in based on the position, but I think that was it because now it works perfectly again.

Thx for the help. If it happens again, I know where to look right away and will likely need to put some hotglue in that spot.

FYI, my 7 year old son is a pretty good pinball player. He knows how to do dead flipper bounces, drop catches, etc. He came to me crying saying "Dad you made a horrible decision buying this game. It is too hard". Hehe. He keeps playing it though and it is making him better.

Also, if you decide to make a TNA 2 with ramps. I will camp out for that preorder.

Does anyone know if the build number is listed on the machine other than the original box? I am the 3rd owner and it would be cool to know which number machine I have.

Thx

Todd

Great, thx. The model # is 00005, which I assume is the 5th game Spooky made. The last 3 digits of my Serial Number are 397, so I am all set. Thx again.
