Quoted from PinMonk:

Glass off. Put it in test mode for the switches and see which switch is firing from vibration by hitting the playfield with your open palm in various places. That switch or switches is/are likely your problem.

Thanks VL the orbit switch was hung up ready to roll when home tonight !!

Lmao I’m like jimmy 2 times from good fellas

#6954 3 years ago
Quoted from Rob_G:

Loops are extremely difficult to make on my game so I'm tempted to change the upper right flipper angle slightly to see if it makes any improvement. A big part of the issue is if the ball hits too high in the left loop entrance, it just bounces dead. Has anyone else had grief making loop shots on their game?
Rob

I had to adjust my upper R flipper slightly as it was just being grazed by the auto launch. And it did make the loop a lot easier to hit. The only negative is the ball will not feed to the right lower flipper when it loops around--it just clips the upper right flipper.

#6955 3 years ago

I put a lightning flipper in on that upper right to prevent clipping. Works like a charm. Loop shot is difficult but it has its moments.

Does anyone sell lightning flipper sized flippers, but no lightning design or logo? I've been wanting to put shorter flippers on some games that are non williams, but don't want to put williams lightning flippers on them.

What’s a lightning flipper

#6959 3 years ago
Quoted from Kkoss24:

What’s a lightning flipper

Its a shorter flipper, I think about 1/8" shorter.

#6960 3 years ago

Here's my upper flipper. This is how the previous owner had it and I've left it for now. It's the only Maiden I've ever played that had the flipper like this.

Pros:
+ Really easy to make the big loop. As in you really don't need to ever lift the upper left flipper.

Cons:
- Can't really shoot the mummy ball or spinner
- Much easier to shoot the outlane by accident

I actually used a white lightning flipper. It looks funky with the yellows, and I have since bought some yellow lightning flippers. But, the white one has worked so well (over a year now), I don’t dare touch it haha. Maybe I’ll trade out the others to all white. Anyone know the part# for the mininipper left flipper - wonder if that comes in white?

If you’re having a problem with either of the loop shots, try a standard black rubber. It makes a difference.

God bless you I can’t look at that yellow molding anymore !

#6973 3 years ago

Not trying to be a pain but it seems the orb captive ball is where my issue is at .While playing after hitting it that lazer like sound keeps going off and points keep adding and after that starts I can’t pick a song ball pops out into shooting lane and song is playing already goes right into gameplay screen if that makes sense ...I’m going to dive in tonight please if any help I’d appreciate it thanks

#6974 3 years ago

Joined the club finally! Traded my Comic Star Wars Premium for my IMDN Premium! Already started modding, and fixing some of the issues like the ball getting stuck behind the left ramp tomb and one of the bumpers firing its self. Nothing I couldn’t handle. I love this machine so much!

Thank you for all the tips I’ve read through. Look forward to many more

That means your orb is adjusted too sensitive. Happened all the time on the one at our regular tournament location. We always were taking it out of the tournament because the game would register a hit on one of those while the ball was still in the shooter lane, taking away the possibility of a skill shot.

Yes that sounds like it ...thank you how do I adjust that .Im guessing it’s that part underneath that holds the stem from captive ball ?

Yes. It works like a pop bumper spoon switch. Use a leaf adjustment tool to get it just right. May have to loosen and move the spoon assembly as well, it if isn't centered.

The sooon assembly seems centered ...is the adjustment on those 2 screws to the right?

Need to see the switch from the side to check the gap. Looks like the blade is twisted on the bottom blade. Could be causing intermittent unintentional contacts. Also, do you have the pencil-point version of the dish actuator post or the squared off one?

I’ll take a side pic In a bit ...but for now I tightened the 2 screws that hold mechanism up to playfield And the 2 that hold the “rod” up toward playfield (don’t know what to call that )they were loosey goosey now played 2 games all working fine ..

Been giving this game hell the past couple of weeks trying to A) get to the Beast again and B) defeat him!

So tonight I threw on my Legacy of the Beast shirt and started another run. I played 3-4 warm up games then started my attempt.

Game is set to factory settings with a pretty decent tilt level.

After Ball 1, and the 1 extra ball I earned, I had 3 EDDIE cards.

On Ball 2 I got to 2MTM, which gave me my fourth card and drained out.

Started ball 3 with the Beast ready to go. This was my second time ever battling the Beast. The first time I played terrible and only took 2-3 health away. While I didn’t defeat him, I did get him down to 6 health. Pretty ironic what my final score was too!

Is Stern service shut down? I tried calling their number and got an automated response that says due to COVID, they are not answering calls and to e-mail them. I sent them an e-mail and have not received any response in 24 hours. Anybody know the best way to get a hold of someone?

i emailed them about a 3weeks ago and still nothing. Just tried again. I'm only asking for the revised 'pointier' hex posts used on the 2 newton ball targets!

I've also failed to get any response from them recently, even with my distributor helping.

Well couple of years in from original release and still loving the fast gameplay of my tricked IMDN Pro.
I had the option of the LE at the time but just loved the cab decals of the Pro.
It’s funny cause now I’m wondering if I would have preferred the additional mechs of the Premium. It was good reading the comments made previously in this regard - Pro vs Premium.
I would like a Premium, but would miss the crazy fast gameplay of Pro - it gets totally mental, nothing like I’ve seen.
Saying that - I reckon the mechs would be very interesting

Cool, glad you’re enjoying it!
I think I need to have a go on a Premium at some stage for sure.....
I didn’t even know it had the extra — Can I play with Madness Mode —-
I had to remove the PU shooter lane protector from my one as it was messing with the gameplay. Fails to register the ball has left the shooter lane.
Still haven’t collected more than 3 eddies - need to try harder!
