Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my XMLE and one of the Nightcralwer popups being stuck in the up position. The coil for the release lever works in test if the popup is down, but if it's up and the bottom of the plunger is resting on the metal lever, it doesn't seem like the coil is pulling the lever in hard enough (I can hear it trying). I'm still on the original boards (never got the "rev B" board I've seen reference to). I'm thinking the next step is to try taking the whole mech off and trying to adjust the amount of overlap the release flap has on the plunger to try to minimize the friction between the two metal parts, but if someone else has already found a solution, then I'm open to suggestions. I've also noticed that the NC switches seem to be overly sensitive, since they score when dropped (new games for p1 start with 1110 points), or pop up then immediately drop in Rogue mode.

Honestly I would just call stern and have them provide some suggestions. I've had the aux board problem, but this doesn't sound like an aux board issue. I agree it does seem more mechanical, but the 1800KICKERS guys will sort it out for you.

Quoted from ChrisBardon:

Yeah, nightcrawler slams so hard back into the mech that it scores, sometimes also scoring the Magneto lock targets. Something to bring up to Stern, they may have a suggestion on how to adjust the switch.
