Swap a known working flasher with the suspect one first, it will be the same voltage being a flasher and might save an order perhaps?

Thanks MC I was thinking that then had to leave for work .Will try that tonight before I order for sure .
Quoted from Kkoss24:My right lightning flasher has been out .Was looking for a little help is there anything to check out before I order the part .Thanks

Swap the bulb with another to verify it's the bulb (does your "bad" bulb work in another known good flasher socket, and does a good flasher bulb from another socket work in the bad flasher socket?).
If a known good bulb doesn't work in the bad socket, you either have a bad socket or a blown transistor.

Ok thanks a bunch .Yes the left one works so when home I’ll first swap bulbs .
Quoted from Rik_:Finished up with printing and painting my undead Anubis, and decided to add some torches as well. Finally installed Piece of Mind Eddie too, love the pop bumpers make the chains rattle and the sound plays as well.

I like how you have your side blades covering the edges.I was going to get that design but with just all stone. Ended up with the hieroglyphics instead .

Thanks, the previous owner had them in there, and I dig them too. Was looking into getting Powerbladez, but disappointed that they aren't game activated.
I have to admit, growing up with music of the 70's into the 80's and seeing MTV's inception, I was never into Iron Maiden. I was familiar with them and their videos, Run to the Hills, in particular, but I never bought an album, or cassette, at that point in time. I was and still am mainly into rock, leaning a little progressive, and was into Rush, Van Halen, Def Leppard at the time. When this machine came out I pretty much blew it off as I see a lot of people did, stating the music didn't appeal to them. I played the pro at the Ann Arbor show and immediately ordered a premium based on the game itself, couldn't hear the music too well. Got and loved the premium, except for having to fix it every other day and finally sold it. Just got a pro and I think it is going to be a permanent fixture. This time around though I have really been getting into the music and can't believe I went this long without listening to Iron Maiden. I watched the Flight 666 documentary and am now a fan of the group. It's awesome to be able to just pull up and stream the next album and all the time thinking I would've really been into them as a teen and later on. I guess I'm a real life incarnation of the song Wasted Years!

You are NEVER too old to branch out your musical tastes!!
I am a co host/starter of a tunes session on a chat site that is run every Sunday evening (my time) and there are people from a few different countries that join in every week. You get the chance to hear things that you may not investigate yourself on youtube, etc and quite often i find myself thinking..."How did i not get into this before???" I must admit i've always had reasonably broad tastes in music but the past 6 years i have gone places i would never have imagined musically

Looks very cool but could be too brittle for a shooter rod handle in 3D printed plastic, especially the front piece. Nice job though!!

I 3d printed it, working on designing something to replace the pharaoh plastic on the backboard. This is the first piece of it that I test printed.

The pharaoh on the backboard is drawn in forced perspective, so it will be tough to get it looking right.
Quoted from Billy16:Well, according to the JJP fanboys GNR is now the best music pin ever and Maiden is basically a cheap home pin. That is a real bummer, as I really like Maiden--glad I now know better...
I ordered a new Iron Maiden Premium 2 hours AFTER the unveiling of GnR, LOL. I must really have issues.

I have a feeling GnR will be more of a spectacle or production and Maiden will remain a fantastic shooter. LE is on order, can't wait to have the 2 side by side!

nobody has flipped GNR yet and POTC was't exactly the most exhilarating experience.

After 2600 games on IMDN Pro, I will say it is every bit as fun to shoot as game 1, maybe more since I suck less now. The shots and goals are the perfect balance of tough and fair.

I think people are saying GnR is more of a music pin. Iron Maiden has music, but it isn't a music pin necessarily -- it's based on the comic story. Even Metallica isn't really "music" specific. GnR is all about getting the band together to play a show. That's my impression from watching them anyway. (and that's as someone who has IMDB and MET and is thinking about GnR, depending on how gameplay looks).
Quoted from PinMonk:The pharaoh on the backboard is drawn in forced perspective, so it will be tough to get it looking right.
Yeah, I played around trying to model it but it never looks quite right. Switched gears, and am now going to try to model something closer to the Powerslave cover.
I agree ,once I started to completly understand everything (and some shooting help from Danger )I started playing way longer games.Iron Maiden music was made for pinball .That GnR looks incredible With everything goin on but I highly doubt it shoots like this .Nothing wrong with liking them both ....Besides I’m looking forward to the code update .Not that this really needs much but a little tweaking will do wonders .
From what little I have seen of GnR, I feel like it's comparing apples to oranges. GnR gameplay is centered around the band and its members, while IMLB is centered around the songs, and tries to bring them to life with the gameplay.
They both rock and have great integrations with the music, but IMO entirely different themes. Dad rock lovers rejoice, we are in a golden age of music pins!
Need assistance because I’m an idiot when it comes to this stuff. So I purchased the coffin ball mod for my IM Pro and for the life of me I can’t get it plugged into the right flasher under the playfield. Can anyone show me a pic of exactly which connector to use? Right now I’m on the right flasher so it blinks when I hit the spinner. I’m presuming it needs to blink along with the red flasher in front of the sarcophagus ball. In service mode right now it flashes when I select the right spinner flash but I can’t figure out which connection coordinates with the one that says Lock Flash on it. I’ve moved it to two other connectors and still no luck. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
someone please put me out of my misery... how do you get big scores on this game? (code loopholes aside)
My best is about 990m, which isn't terrible, but most games seems to follow a similar path. Complete EDDIE, start mode, play mode (usually badly as they're almost too short as the ball bounces around so much it wastes 50% of the time), Trooper multi-ball, or another mode, repeat. All this time the little yellow inserts are building up, mummy is getting ready, that happens, then back to mode modes. What should i be combining for bigger points? Is there a way to have more time per mode to actually complete some of the objectives? What's a soul shard really mean? I've had Eddie cards, 3 in game several times so far, which sounds good. Never battled the beast though.

Pro or Premium/LE? They play differently.
Paul those scores are great compared to mine!
Last weekend I changed my outlane posts, as the left hand was killing me. I also tweaked the right flipper angle as it wasn't successful.
October 8, 1983. Iron Maiden at MSG with Quiet Riot as openers. Anybody else at that show?
It was my first concert. Couldn't believe my parents were letting me go to NYC with my friends.
We got on the train in Hazlet. Very rowdy ride. It was probably the third or fourth stop after we got on the train where we just sat there for a while. Bunch of police showed up and made everyone get off. They were checking for drugs. Word was that the freaks in the first train car were trying to smash in the engineer or conductor door, trying to kick out windows or some shit. They were annoyed the train was making stops I think it was.
Saw a few kids get tossed into police cars, loaded us back in and we were on the way.
Things get a little foggy after the lights went out and Quiet Riot came on, but it was a great show by both them and Maiden. Definitely a very cool first concert.
BTW, it is super annoying seeing Up the Irons in the title of this thread. So many cool songs and lyrics, but we have a soccer reference? Yeah, I know, kids are starving in Florida, but this bothers me.

Pharaoh replacement mod update. Done printing a test model for fitment, what's everyone's thoughts? Want to figure out a way to channel the flasher to just Eddie's eyes.

Question for pro owners-how easy is it to hit the jump ramp from the right flipper? Not sure if it's just a pitch issue (game is at 7.0 or so), but it seems like shots just barely make it to the target from the right. Shots from the left are fine though.
Quoted from monkeyboypaul:premium
Build your 2x and 3x multipliers whenever you can so your modes and multiballs are more profitable. Practice making the super jackpot shot so you can make it more reliably when needed. You can glance off the post in front of the lane it's in and make the shot. I use that most often. It's kind of like a Deadpool Snikt shot in that you want to be just off from the right of the ramp to glance the ball into the lane.
I always try to stack Mummy multiball. Also, are you getting the eddie cards consistently or just occasionally? The mummy one is super easy to get, just spam the spinner. When in Mummy, immediately try to complete both ramps so you can get another ball added.
Also, it's harder to do on the Premium/LE because the ball is easier to hit off-angle accidentally than the target is, but try not to hit it until you build up the power jackpot enough. If you keep hitting the ball, you never let the power jackpot build.

From a cradle I can't seem to make it most of the time, on the right, but if the ball has some momentum from the lane I can with a slightly later flip. Left flipper no problem.

Mine came from the factory poorly adjusted and it was a difficult shot. There was not enough of a gap between the flipper and the bushing. After adjustment I can make it consistently but not 100%. Huge difference. I'm probably at around 6.8 incline.

I have no problems hitting it when i have the ball cradled, but a moving ball it's a little harder. But i think it's fairly easy no matter what unless the ball it's just flying through the inlane. It's that dam right orbit shot is what troubles me....
