Got a question - I have LE. When I play the relay on the PCB in the head of the machine seems to fire off (click) when all the LEDS flicker during game play? Several times during a game. It seems like this is normal, but just checking.
thx.
Anyone have thoughts on this one? (LE version)
On my mini playfield in the upper right....when the ball goes up the ramp, the cherry switch on the ramp fires and lifts the gate (at this point the gate makes some high pitch vibration noise). As I put my hand on the gate it is vibrating. Note the ball does make it into the mini playfield.
When the mode is over the ball is supposed to exit via the lift gate. However, the lift gate struggles to lift to get out of the way of the ball.
Figured a bad coil; however, when I put the machine in diagnostic mode and fire the lift gate manually it lifts right away (very snappy and no vibration noise).
So what is the difference? Is there somewhere happening different in play mode vs diagnostic mode? Maybe not as much electrical power to the coil in play mode vs diagnostic mode. If this is true how do I change this?
Any ideas on this one?
thx again!
Quoted from Rickwh:I guess my IH playfield is rubbered wrong too... im second owner, but ive never had it apart. I dunno if it came from factory this way or not.
Did you find out - my guess is the factory changed it to this. My LE is identical rubbers as yours ....done the exact same way as yours.
Just found out: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/archive/35137
Here is a brand new one...with the rubbers installed like ours from the factory on the min playfield. So Stern manual was never updated. With that said...did Stern cheap out and save a few pennies and is the multiple rubbers on mini playfield better as stated in the original manual. Don't know.

UPDATE....Figured a bad coil; however, when I put the machine in diagnostic mode and fire the lift gate manually it lifts right away and drops (goes up and no vibration noise). However, in diagnostic mode it does not hold the lift gate as long - maybe the difference.
Any ideas on this one? Thinking of replacing the coil.....
thx again!
Quoted from Rickwh:I put dead foam in mine a while back and it got better. I didnt see and difference with the cliffy. There still is a bounce back every once in a while.
Hi - I have a question. (let me say in advance up to this point the many, many cliffys I have purchased have been flawless).
Installed the cliffy's. The Megatron installed fairly quickly. However, I now get my ball hung up occasionally on the lip of the cliffy - very annoying. Of course I have tried taking apart and adjust it and other stuff around it - pain in the ***. Adjusted ball guides, adjusted leg height - overall pitch of machine...nothing works...so far. (note, I have adjust and changed like 5 times now...)
So, has anyone else had this problem and what has been there solution.
Ok, Cliffy responded....mylar on its way. I guess a common problem. If that don't fix it....my plan is to cut out that section.
Quoted from northerndude:Anyone know where to find cliffy's for the TF? I cant seem to

Send cliff an email, let him know CP9999 sent you his way.
Thx

Quoted from Rickwh:Did you modify the cliffy for Megatron on the back side? Mine still gets hangup every now and again.
Put Mylar on playfield before the Cliffy. It helps get rid of the problem.
Quoted from Kawydud:I will try some white pcb's to see if I can get the purple better, otherwise I may have to double up on the led boards for those inserts.
Maybe for next person, mount the extra led boards to the left and right side and Keep the original board - so you have 2x leds per square directly lighting up the insert?
