I could see gold plating them in a premium with the Pharoah package

My Refinery pro has dark blue.

It certainly sounds like you're getting a random switch hit. Put it in switch test mode and smack the playfielf with the palm of your hand firmly by the ramp to see if you get a vibration trigger of the pharaoh target.

Yeah I was sure he didn't mean anything by it, but I am not sure that everyone out there knows that Robert has autism so it could be taken in the wrong context.

Well, I just tried lightly tapping right flipper with 2 trapped balls.

No matter how lightly or hard I tap the upper right flipper does not move?

How on earth does Robert hold 2 balls on right flipper and then hit 5 loops in a row with upper right flipper?

Will ask around as I can't be the only one not able to do this!

You just need to adjust your gap between the middle and last switch contact so it's very close, which will make it so just as you ease up on the flipper button the upper flipper will drop.

Cool thanks mate. I’ll try that

No matter the setup, you will be able to control upper and lower flippers separately. Seeing that Robert is a seasoned tournament player, it's unlikely that he would adjust his switches. Mine are pretty tight, but I'm getting better with them with more practice. It's a very sensitive and difficult skill to master.

dood every time I see a post from you it makes my day better, and glad you got IMDN again - its a superb game.

even I can do this ! sounds like something is hosed on your machine?

No you have to hit the target, or lock the ball on the LE. Bang the game into switch test mode and just a few balls in and flip them around and watch for the bully activating.

I bet Robert could!

You don't tap the button. With the button fully pressed in, you have to slowly let it out fractionally until the upper flipper drops. Robert's skill at stage flipping is just nuts. I can do it but not even close to that level.

No, I didn't replace it. Is this a common mod? I will double check the switch but it seems fine. I am wondering how the ball gets loose during game play?

As a follow up, the roller switches have been installed for a few days and I have seen none of the errors I saw before. I also installed the Pinmonk lenses which look great.

Only one gremlin left when the ball gets stuck behind the backboard and does not reach the sarcophagus lock. After shaking the game and ball search mode a few times, it determines the ball is gone and adjusts. If the ball does shake free during game play then the game gets all screwed up with its ball count.

I don't have a premium, but maybe you can shim that little U turn piece with a washer to raise the left side just a smidge. It's probably just not at enough of an angle to encourage slow ball travel.

This was a good adrenaline game for me. Would this be considered a respectable score? I was pretty psyched for it.

With stock outlane posts that's definitely respectable.

That’s a great game for me... my high score is in the 700K range, I feel good when I’m pushing 300K

I’m a great player and usually get about 3 billion but then I wake up.

I would be very happy with that score. My highest is about 400 mil.

Hi guys,
I have two questions since i bought a HUO Imdn Pro.

There's a ball hop/rebound on the flippers bats transition from the outlanes when the ball is rolling slowly. I played an other IMDN and it was the same problem. I know how to fix that with plastic outlanes but whith metal outlanes it's harder. I tried to adjust outlanes loosening the screws but there's no enough space. Anyone have an idea? I tried Titan rubbers too.

I like the music but the singing is a bit... annoying (personnal taste, sorry Maidens fans). I would like to know if someone create a code with instrumental versions of the songs? (with pinball browser)

Thanks

Blasphemy! Dickenson has one of the best vocal ranges of any singer from any genre. He can sustain a note indefinitely. A witch must have cursed your poor ears lol.

I have been trying to do this.

It's crazy hard and not even done one!

Robert's control is amazing!

Last couple days I have been getting to Number of the Beast pretty regularly. This morning finally killed him for the first time. I think our lifetime record is something like 1-10 now.

Adjusting your flipper switches to ensure proper 2-stage operation is a normal adjustment and is in no way considered cheating or making a game easier. Just sometimes they don’t pay that much attention at the factory. My LE had one side where the top flipper fired before the bottom out of the box...

Just noticed something today, the upper left flipper on my Pro isn't going back to it's full rest position. I lifted the glass and noticed there is a squeak and a little bit of resistance in the beginning of it's throw. When coming back to rest it stops at the resistance point, short by about 5-10% of it's range. It's not much, but enough to make the left orbit a bit tighter of a shot. When I move the other flippers there is no such squeak or resistance.

Being my first table, I'm new to the maintenance aspect. Anyone run into this before and know what is the cause and fix?

Thanks!

I was also getting some squeaky noise...though in upper right flipper. See here ->

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/iron-maiden-issues/page/25#post-4647115

And...I can't find my "fix" post..but...the squeak was happening from the rubber hitting the EOS leaf switch. I put a tiny dab of superlube on the contact point and the squeak went away.

Though...it was never bad enough to stop movement...

That's pretty strange, considering the physics of flipper leaf switches. You have to touch the bottom before you touch the top switch. As for adjusting, I'm sure tournaments would have them tight, so Robert would likely want them that way on his machine for practice. I never said anything about it being cheating. I don't adjust mine because I want to get better at tight settings.

Nobody noticed annoying ball hop at flippers transition ?

Stern has changed their design. Instead of the classic stacked switches, they now use one expected closed switch and some expected open (basically a make or break switch).

Exactly. Threw me for a loop when I first saw it happening as well. Good news is it’s super simple to adjust these to your liking.

My point is that you can’t assume the factory adjustment is correct and it’s not cheating or unexpected to have them setup for clean two-stage operation. Trapping balls on the lower flippers while shooting the upper is already a difficult advanced skill, no need to cripple it further with poorly adjusted switches.

Ian, that must be a Canadian thing, "expected". I have always heard that as "normally open, normally closed". Did Jeff Teolis have something to do with this? LOL

Finally got Eddie straightened out. Forgot whose post the idea came from but thanks! It’s the only mod my sons immediately saw and screamed “Badass!”

I don't always word good!

Could have been me Before i even added my Neca figure to the machine i was thinking...... "Ohhhh yeahhh that will work"

Wonder if in future updates, they will flesh out the reward/effects for defeating the beast?

This order just doesn't work for me, the ball is coming too fast out of the big loop for me to bounce pass or live catch and I can't stage so I can't loop pass or drop catch in time. I am now trying:
Mini loop, right orbit, left ramp, right ramp, inner orbit, big loop (left spinner for deathblow)

But I am not successful yet.

But by making the easiest shots first, you're more likely to be picking up 2,3,4 way combos which soon add up to big points, especially after collecting the 5 times multiplier for combos and deathblows from the Tomb Treasure

Could you share details on how you did this? It looks fantastic

This is about getting to RTTH though, not getting points.

A tight switch is not synonymous with poorly adjusted. I can almost guarantee that PAPA adjusts them to be tight.

Why not pick up points on the way?

I just think that your 6 way requires more trapping and ball transfer:

Mini Loop - Inner Orbit, Big Loop - Left Ramp, Right Ramp - Right Orbit.

Whereas:

Right Ramp, Inner Orbit, Big Loop, Left Ramp, Right Orbit, Mini Loop only requires catching the ball from Big Loop - Left Ramp (although I normally can hit it on the fly anyway).

Yes my style is more about controlled play. I would never want to leave the hardest shot until the end and try to hit it on the fly at high speed... Thats probably the last thing I want to do and would result in failure every time. YMMV.

Forgive me, I’m a little confused on following this 6-way combo rule. Can someone correct me where i might be wrong?

+ is a super Death blow the cash in for the 6-way combo? Or is it a cash in for any # of combos?
+ does the 6-way combo have to be accomplished in 6 shots or is there a grace period if you brick a shot during the combo or hit another target?
+ is there a way to track your current combo count or deathblow value, perhaps instant info?
+ does 6-way combo light a tomb award? I assume it does.

Thanks in advance.

One thing that's interesting when you're in the combo hunt is it will not stop the ball for Tomb Treasures like it usually does. I reported it as a bug, but it's actually a feature. I had a 5 way combo and a tomb treasure lit, I hit the right orbit to get the 5 way and it rolled through, unlit the treasure and played the 5 way combo guitar clip, but didn't stop the ball. I thought that was a bug, but I know now that was so I could make the 6th combo shot and it did award the treasure, it just didn't show it to stop my flow.

Thanks for this, I have wondered why I didn't collect a tomb treasure when I should have--pretty tricky!

Does anyone know if/what the setting is to turn off the autoplunge after locking a ball on the premium/Le? Be buggered if I could find it in the menu's.
It would be nice to take a breath and sip a beer every now and then .

I don't think there is a setting for this. It would be nice to allow another skill shot this way, but it might not be a fair thing in a multiplayer game.

Rob

I hope this is not true! I dont need another skill shot award or anything, I just want a chance for a break before getting back into it.
Not sure how this would make it unfair in multiplayer?

Just joined, happy to be here! Didn’t have to tweak anything out of the box.

Plastic protectors are on the way. Gonna do up some gels too.

Edit nvm, picked up the mezel pharaoh protector

Made it to 2Min Til Midnight for the first time. An adrenaline rush for sure. Super fun game IMDN is!
