Crappy scores or Crappy player , i think a bit of both.  :D :D

Yep, could be it.lol  %.% %.% %.% %.%

I need more people on here with PRO machines so i can compare scores. I am only playing 3 ball also.  &&

I think I need to add more bourban n coke, and lots of it to get a higher score.  %.% %.%

Well if an average score of 40mil makes him crap then I'm not sure there is a name for how badly I suck my average score is lucky to break 10m my 40million was a one off fluke  %.%

Has anyone else had the upper capture hole slam the ball out and down the right loop?  Normally just give it a love tap into the lanes but twice now it's slammed it out the right loop.  It must be part of the game as the gate opens I'm guessing

you can pick up a skill shot off the playfield when that happens, high risk, big rewards

AC/DC is one friggin fast game. One of the fastest dmd machines I have ever played.

If u guys think the LE is fast, give a PRO a go. I got a sore neck trying to track the ball.lol  %.% %.% %.%

The AC DC Pro is FAST, no limited numbers, no mini playfield, no band animation, no model train, no led's, just good fun to thrash

Fortunately the slings are not as trigger happy as on SRs earlier Williams machines such as BK or FP. This allows for better ball control closer to the flippers with less chance of out lane drains. Shots to the ramps and bell need to be clean and precise and nudging this machine is important to get the right bounce coming down from the thumpers.
I find that I get consistently better scores when on my own. The kids stand next to the machine and the ball almost becomes possessed and gravitates straight for the guts. ACDC requires 100% focus and concentration.
I thoroughly enjoy the multi ball on this machine - good flow of all balls and easy to keep in play for a length of time.
Consistently average 38 to 60 million but on several occasions failed to crack 20 million. When you are on a roll, this machine rocks but it can also bite you big time.

FOR ANYONE BUYING A AC/DC PRO

If u look at the underside of the playfield, basically the bottom left corner of the underside of the playfield where you would put your left hand to lift the playfield, u will find a small white sticker. On that small white sticker you will find the machines production number (not serial number but game production number) My PRO was machine number 393, my mates was 492.

Its a good way for any PRO owners to know what number of machine theres was coming down the production line. If you buy a PRO and dont mind sharing what production number your game is, feel free to post on here. I am assuming the next batch to hit Australia will be in the 600 or 700 range, or even later than that. I know someone who has 673 so Stern might be well on its way to producing 1000 plus PRO models.  ^^^

Interesting observation Cavey.
I just checked BIBLE under play field of my #056. One small sticker has C7-LE 50 in very small font.
One larger sticker on side of play field near the ball drain has "C7-00 Grinder LE Main * # 104 of 620".
I assume this is the number of LE/Premium play fields comprising of 200 LTBR, 300 BIB and 120 Premium. My #056 BIB was the 104th down this production run.
