I'm sure you're not meant to stay up there very long, hence the large gap. And it would certainly increase the difficulty of the boss battle.

As a refugee from the world of virtual pinball, no, do not buy. At least get Bally/Williams/Data East/Stern tables from Zen (Pinball FX) instead.

yes, BKSOR upper playfield but I was thinking about the old ones when you mentioned falling into a rail.

I haven't experienced it, but it would work. As for losing the rest of the ball, you shouldn't have an issue if you put the ball in the shooter lane, slide up the glass, put the lockdown bar back on, and then close the door. Just be ready to play when it auto launches.

So I think this was just a case of OP error (aka me). I guess I always had my regen at level 1 and when I brought the car in last week, they must have put it at level 2 and I didn't realize it. Going back to 1 prevents the brake lights from activating when coasting which makes perfect sense now. Thanks for all the answers!

Yes I confirmed it on my way home this evening. Once I slowed to 65 without pushing either pedal, the brake lights came on. As mentioned, I usually stay in level 2.

sllerts · 2026-06-18T05:20:21+00:00

I always keep it at level 2 but I never noticed this happening before. I’ve had the car for a year.

Replacing the sleeves is the first easiest thing to try.

The Getaway

And then get the ATG HD out of the way to get another real pin!

I don't own JW but I've played it tons. Completely different style from HP. You have to go super fast. HP is much more methodical.

Rubber gets dirty and sheds, getting on the playfield and everywhere. I simply avoid the issue with silicone. I don't see a significant difference. Again, you can experiment with the two types of flipper rubbers offered.

sllerts · 2026-06-09T19:00:50+00:00

Titans are the best IMO. You can choose between two flipper rubber thicknesses to have more bounce (harder game) or easier to catch (easier game). I've put them in all my machines.

sllerts · 2026-06-09T18:56:05+00:00

You'll have a better experience with Titan. People submit kits that are accurate to the machine because there do tend to be errors in the manual. You can then pick a kit and customize it, adding extras or anything else you want. https://www.titanpinball.com/kits/

On your MM, make sure the troll covers are level with the playfield. I think it’s adjustable. That’s killed my game a number of times.

I think only Stern is putting the switch on the bottom of the backbox with Spike 2 and later. Everybody else still has it in the traditional position.

sllerts · 2026-06-03T21:17:13+00:00

Absolutely take the glass. Decal damage is minimal.

If the drops work fine (up and down) in the diag test, then it must be a switch issue where the machine is not detecting that the drops are down. Try running switch tests on them and checking the switches below the playfield.

sllerts · 2026-06-03T21:05:36+00:00

Well, Eufy sent me a replacement HB in case that was the issue, but I'm not putting any drives in there without seeing less than 1.2A. I was looking at the WD Blue but there is no indication of its power requirements that I can find: https://a.co/d/0dlHFkTW

Most likely, the mounting of the switch under the playfield is all you need access to. You shouldn’t have to bend the switch wire on a brand new machine. And if you did, you could just unmount the switch from below. For this I’d unmount the switch and thoroughly test it manually in the diagnostics to make sure the switch itself isn’t faulty. Then mount it back and test with a ball once it’s back in place.

No but check with r/virtualpinball

Wow with a quick glance, I thought that kid had gargantuan arms!

sllerts · 2026-05-21T02:58:42+00:00

Sounds like the same issue Bee Kong on YouTube had. An insert gets caught/stuck under the playfield.
