![]() ![]() Especially now with the competition tilt debounce setting. But I will recommend to reengineer either the assembly (the ring), the install procedure or both. It's is highly unfortunete with no greater attention to this in production. ![]() On this particular example, it is actually not even possible to center the ring without relocating the screw and carving a new hole. And when also mounted without washers, no wonder it is hard to mount perpendicular to the bob. The ring made from a length of wire, seems to have wide tolerances. But it also seems hacked in on the line by somebody with four self carving screws and a stop watch. Not only is the current tilt assembly used by Stern costed down. I think it is cute, that Stern releases a photo from inside their game, with the tilt being off balance all over the place. ![]() I didn't upgrade my AS to the latest software yet though that is suppose to help solve it also. The instructions explain which boards they go to.īy the way, I still got a reset. The two different part numbers are that one is for one node board, and one is for another. I'm thinking that they are still trying to figure it out with the next version of the fix. I received mine and the bulletin online wiring did not match the bulletin received in with the part that was wired a little different. ![]() I would think if it was the same part, they wouldn't create a new part number. Not sure what the right answer is as I have not received my update kits yet but there are 2 different part numbers for the update kits. It is indeed the same capacitor, however. The picture in the Service Bulletin and I've seen around pinside has the capacitors wired with the 48V and ground wires on the outer pins of the connector. The picture above is has the capacitor wired to pins in the center. The game was noted for its very fast speed due to Dan Kramer's pinball building expertise and other features, such as the light-up plunger.I think there might be two different parts, just based on the pictures I've seen of both cap kits. Williams (a classic pinball manufacturer) System 11 schematics were used to develop the music and how it would work with the game, which Klyce worked with various shop hardware and software in order for the audio to match with actions that went on during a game, along with not only Metallica music in the game being included (and it being CD quality), but Hetfield himself recorded new voice-overs to be used for the machine as well.ĭuring initial tests, however, the sound quality was not good, but upon many tweaks and feedback from Dirty Donny and Krause, they were improved, and there was a good response among pinball players who got to try out the game at the Pacific Pinball Expo before it was sent to the Metallica Headquarters for the band to enjoy. He brought the game to life and fine-tuned everything to optimize its performance as "tighter than factory". Krause applied about fifteen colors of ink, including three in black light-activated fluorescent, to the backglass to make it really stand out (along with the light features being programmed by Klyce).ĭan Kramer rebuilt all the mechanical playfield devices and constructed them onto the freshly painted, metal-flaked and clearcoated playfield board. The machine was stripped and sanded down in order for work to begin to turn it into a custom Metallica machine as an end product.Īn artist known as Dirty Donny, who had done work with Robert Trujillo before, was commissioned to hand-paint the playing field. They settled on the classic pinball game of Earthshaker, due to the shaker motor that the game is well known for in pinball circles, which incites the roar of a crowd when it is activated, which they figured would work well with adding to the ambience of a Metallica concert. In order to work with the budget that they were given (which has not been publicly disclosed), Krause and Tanio Klyce (who also worked on the Hellacopters machine) dismissed using a machine with a dot matrix display due to the expense it would take to reprogram it. Due to Metallica singer/guitarist James Hetfield seeing the Hellacopters pinball game that artist Dirty Donny and Wade Krause created (which was also a one-of-a kind refurbished machine/not a mass-produced one), Hetfield wanted them to build a Metallica pinball machine for the band. ![]()
