maybe the left right statement was confusing. my game has half push on L or Rbutton activates coresponding upper flipper full push in is lower flipper and upper. going to do some investigation I thought it was backward. either leafs out of adjustment or assembled wrong when last owner put in glow buttons

I'd say they are centered over the holes. I am the second owner of this pin so I cant say for sure if they have been removed at any time.
Quoted from Yfichelle:Hi all ;o)
My left flipper is too weak and impossible to reach the ramp... i have dismounted all the flipper assembly, verify the coil stop, verify the gap with the playfied, verify the EOS... all seems ok...
I think to replace the coil for a stronger. But with which coil ? Actually the reference is : 090-5020-30-ND
Thanks for your help.
Yannick
did you verify flipper power settings in service menu
I'm not up to speed on coil PNs
I guess from my automotive background I would swap coils side to side if problem follows it's the coil if it stays it's in the mech or solenoid elec control
I just waxed my PF I'm 2nd owner as well. half 3/4 plunge for me will make full loop up top and back to lower flippers.
before waxing ball was super erratic on plunge.
my pro has orange spring

make sure the screws for the opaque milky white cover are not hitting weights on shaker. that happened on my munsters prem. It actually smoked cabinet node 1
you can power the shaker with 12v dc from a car battery, to verify. did your kit have the anti slam capacitor? perhaps that connection got flipped and shaker is on wrong terminals
Ac/dc pro was on location at my favorite watering hole. loved the game but partially because I could be aggressive with it. I felt the ball physics were off. same issue with another one on location near me, felt like the ball was a super ball
Also not trying to derail this thread just looking for input from like minded owners.

Quoted from snappahead:Nice one. Only had it 2 days, but my best is 273 mil. The ramps are my biggest challenge too. Flight of Brickerus indeed.
got that right, I am the brick
Quoted from HighProtein:[quoted image]
In the far back middle loop to the left of the up post, see video in post before this...
Anyone have the part number for this plate?
The one that replaces worn mylar on rear loop/orbit under sarcophagus.
Sent an email to stern and got an immediate response and a warranty order number. I will update if it has a part number.
Quoted from beergut666:All I sent them to get mine was the serial number and build date of my game. This was after I'd previously been given a full sheet of mylar, cut out for all areas of the playfield once before when the issue first started with the old mylar bubbling up in the loop.
I should be all set, stern said they would ship it out. That being said I never received the wireform and herman protector for my Munsters Prem
Quoted from JonCBrand:I should be all set, stern said they would ship it out. That being said I never received the wireform and herman protector for my Munsters Prem
upper loop plate came yesterday.
Installation was a breeze, mylar peeled off in one piece just a bit of cleaning and dropped it in
Id like a left flipper start button game kill like others have
Cant tell you how many times I bump the start button
Quoted from PinMonk:Wait, your Iron Maiden doesn't have a lockdown button? Canada, always getting the short end of the stick...
[quoted image]
Canada didn't get lockdown button too bad for them.
Quoted from Billy16:Huh...mine came with two lockdown buttons. Must be a prototype, or something...
dang

Struggling to find the Part Number for the rubber bumpers that go at the top of the back box where play-field rests when in full vertical service position.
Link to seller or PN would be greatly appreciated.
Quoted from Shredso:Is this it?

I've never seen it in stock. My Aerosmith was missing one from the factory.
Thank you!!

Quoted from Whifflebat:I just noticed that my orb target on my Pro appears to be leaning to the left, making it slightly harder to hit. I assume it's been forced that way slowly over time after repeated hits. This is my first pin, so I'm pretty inexperienced even with minor adjustments. Any suggestions on how to fix this so it is more centered?
[quoted image]
Mezel mods sells what they call a target splint, it braces the target so it cant lean.
Very cheap and quick install.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Thanks bud I think that’s what I’ll go with.By the way is there any kind of market for the stock glass to sell n recoup some $.Just wondering and what would the value be on that thanks again for the help!
keep the stock glass so you can put it back in when you sell and keep the HD for new game
minimal market value for stock glass
anyone regularly get balls stuck on drop target bank. Id bet it happens 1 in 5 games for me. set my tilt bob low so I can advise the ball off the target instead of waiting for ball search.
Quoted from Thunder90:Under the playfield there is a screw that adjusts the height of the drop target bank. Pretty easy to find, but I can get you a picture if needed. Mine was the same way. Super quick fix to keep the game flowin
I'll have to check that target bank screw.
another spot im getting stuck balls is just left of the right up post. I think the stainless wear plate vs up post hole makes a nice ball rest
I also have a few GI leds flickering on my pro, have new leds on order but I'm 98% its a terminal issue. I use stabilant 22 on alot of oem terminals in the automotive field fixed tons of intermittent issues with it. ill add some drops of that and test.
Quoted from Gogdog:Just to be clear...we are all talking about this? ->
[quoted image]
I don't see how adjusting the drop target height (mine is flush with PF) would fix this...
yes thats what happens to me
Quoted from Kkoss24:What’s a lightning flipper
Its a shorter flipper, I think about 1/8" shorter.
Best ball 1 for me ever
550 mil before extra ball
304 mil HBTN
404mil playfield x champ
took 3x in HBTN
then failed the rest of game ended at 599mil
Quoted from Kkoss24:Nice!!! I’m still trying to crack 400 although I just started playing pinball this past April .Maybe tonight’s the night I graduate
I'm 2years in. have no idea why I never played before.
Quoted from RikeIsland:The left Outlane has been kicking my ass. Maybe there will be a fix for that on the next Code update. LOL
my fix was more and better nudging.
and a loose tilt bob

Quoted from jlock:Ball 1: extra ball, 3 cards, 4 modes, 600M. Final score 670M as I burned most of the rest of the game bricking ramp shots and draining. This game can be infuriating.
I feel your pain. I absolutely love to hate this pin.
Quoted from tbaum:Just got my IMDN pro and wanted to add a shaker motor to it.
Is this the one to get?
I see that pinball life also has this one which they call a 'real shaker'.
Anyone have thoughts on these?
Mine has real knocker in it, sounds great. But might be set up wrong only knocks on coin inserts.
thats awfully cheap for an OE Stern Shaker. it may be aftermarket, since it says stern reference part numbers. They are good people there id just ask if its oe.
If it is OE I'm in for a few.
Quoted from tbaum:Ah good to know! Sticking with the shaker... I've played an IMDN with it and the wife and I loved it. Glad I asked!
Let us know what pinball life says about that shaker, if its OEM that a great deal.
Quoted from tbaum:It's not an OE Stern - it's their own custom build
Thank you
I'd bet its nearly identical looks that way. who knows could be same supplier

Im going to do a deep clean on my Pro over the next few weeks, haven't been playing it much so figured it would keep me busy.
HUO but 2000 or so plays
Game has been great with zero issues aside from flickering bulbs hoping some adjustment of the bulb base will fix that.
Anything you have seen that should just be done while Im going into it?
I have coil stops, bulbs and a decent assortment of rubbers on hand.
Quoted from tktlwyr:Full/Verify update has deleted all my settings and high scores.
Thats normal.
This new code has started a fire under me. Tomorrow morning I'm going full on, cleaning, fixing loose bulb sockets and replacing rubbers as needed.
Stern crew really delivered on this code, I couldn't be happier.
Quoted from mikeking:It motivated me to fiddle around and get my ball launch adjusted again. Seems like that thing needs re-adjustment every few months.
I must be a lucky one, had mine for 10 months or so, never had to adjust launch. anytime it stopped loading the upper posts for ball lock I would clean the PF and back to perfect.
Quoted from red-line:What do you guys use to clean your pf? Novus 1/2?
Novus 1 is my go to.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:I’m having the same issue with a bulb that keeps going off and on in the left in lane closest to the flipper. It’s annoying as hell. Every time the ball hits the slings it flashes on or off. Tried pulling the spring many times so I’m gonna try the solder dab and see if that works.
Crimp bulb base and apply stabilant 22a to terminal and side posts. I've found the center solder terminal on bulbs to be the issue. The stabilant 22a is a contact enhancer. I use it on lots of automotive terminals.

take a look at the pic of bulb I posted, that groove in the solder is where the issue is.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Novice 1 on PF.I havnt cleaned any of my cabinets yet is novice 1 a good choice for tgat as well ?
I dont clean the cabinets other than just dry microfiber for dusting. so cant give any advice there.
Anyone know what length this standoff should be for center support of left wire form? This one is 1.5"
Searched manual couldn't find a spec
Seems long and preloads wireform lifting exit of ramp.
2nd owner so might be normal or someone's mixup.

Perfect thank you
Quoted from MJW:Same problem here.
get a bottle of that stabilant 22a. did all my bulbs this morning, just a drop on base and one side post. 20 games in no issues.
Its not cheap but it works. I will do all my connections for boards next time they wig out.

Quoted from Pinash:Comet warm white vs stock "natural" white, thoughts? I'm leaning towards warm for my upcoming shop job.
[quoted image]
The warm white compliments the artwork, the stock really washes it out. I vote Warm
Quoted from mattosborn:Hook it up! Even if you don’t start a tournament mode, there’s a little surprise when you press the button (on IMDN).
Ordered tournament switches for my games just now.
To verify wiring, Gray-White/Black-white is switch, yellow-red/red is for light.
Ive had an issue in 2 games where the left up post stays up until the machine goes into ball search.
I think its when you start a mode up ramp shot seems like the machine forgets to drop the up post.
I cant remember when, but I will make notes next time.

Quoted from PinMonk:Stern sells the actual figure. Terry at pinball life can order it for you.
The post with the stern part numbers is here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/up-the-irons-the-iron-maiden-pinball-official-owners-club/page/48#post-4579729
Thank you, I saw that post when I searched but just looked at the picture of the right ramp and assumed it wasn't what I was looking for.
That seems like a reasonable option.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Previous owner didn't keep the plastic? Perhaps they put it in the goodie bag. Might be worth a look if it is still stapled inside. Is the cyborg plastic still intact?
Side note I thought was amusing. When I was deep into arcade video collecting, I used to love de-converting games to original glory. Like a DK that was converted to some jamma shooter or something. I feel like buying second hand HUO pins is kinda like that these days. I have to spend an evening removing toys/mods and restoring a game to it's original factory condition and it's only a couple years old lol.
I checked all the bags, no luck. Cyborg is gone too, Ill probobly order the prem/le items.
I agree on the de-modding, some stuff I like but there are other items that just dont do it for me.
I pulled the clothed figures and guitar off the game and stored them for the next owner, (if I ever sell it which is unlikely)
Quoted from Aflacjack:Did my Maiden Pro in Illusion Tangerine [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
love that color

I have another IMDN coming from the May run. Regret selling my first one. Anyway, question is have the new runs came with the stainless protector in the outer orbit below the back target? Making my list of must haves to install before ball 1.
Quoted from DaddyManD:my son and I 3D printed the obelisk and right ramp archway! Free files on thingiverse if anyone interested. For obelisk inserted a small piece of tracing paper to dampen light.
(I made sure the devil with the diaper is visible for the enjoyment of the mod police)
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
[quoted image]
I'm going to print tomorrow even though the game isn't here yet. Thank you.
Quoted from DaddyManD:best freaking game of all time. I can’t stop adding stuff to it lol!

Quoted from pinballjah:Some new flipper button protectors I am making for IM. Made from black plexiglass, very easy install, just remove the lock down bar. Installed with two screws.
PM if interested. Thanks.

I'd be interested if they didn't require screws through cabinet art, is it possible to retain then with a thin double sided tape.

Well 2 days in and zero issues fired up my pro after work tonight and Nodes 1, 8, 9 not found.
I did a basic check of network cables no change.
Any quick ideas before I dive deeper.
I rebooted twice after checking connectors and now its good.
Im leaning towards a poor network cable. I will update as if it happens again.

And playfield is out again.
Looks like Node 1 is on its own cable and Nodes 8/9 are on another out of node 0 from back box.

Quoted from JonCBrand:I think I need to lower my upper left flipper power. Post above the drop bank is bent!! Under 100 games. Oops
[quoted image]
Post wasn't bent it was assembly error.

Quoted from jackd104:Should this game come with playfield alignment brackets? My cab has pre drilled holes for them, but no brackets. I had a lot of trouble with GZ shooting consistently due to missing brackets. Wondering if I should put some in.
Mine from the latest run does not have the alignment tabs either. I had to shift playfield all the way to the right to get a good manual plunge, even after adjusting shooter housing all the way left.
Quoted from Kkoss24:Have not got the IC yet until I hear they’re going to do something with it. Is it just achievements now ?
As far as know and what I've experienced on mine, yes just achievements. I would love to see some sort of progress carry over like TMNT has with IC.

I might have to get that for my living room.
Quoted from Kkoss24:The last free ball had to be for 30 loops. I know Tilt only says those 3 but I feel there was another.
RayDay has a Run to the Hills game play on YouTube. I feel like he picked up 4 extra balls.
Quoted from k_kush:That was weird....sitting here watching TV and my IM Premium just made a sound and it said "Slam Tilt" on the screen and then rebooted itself. No one has played for over 2 hours. There was no active game in progress and this happened while in attract mode. Weird! Any idea what may have caused that?
My games make a loud screech duck quack type noise after they reboot from auto software update.
