Iron Monger issue

[Pop Bumper Pete]

hi Pete

Nice collection their.

Just one question regarding the Iron man pinball is when the ball rolls over IRON MONGER in the middle of the playfield does it jump or bounce over, as just worried that mine doesn't site level with the playfield and it may damage the playfield at a latter date.

Over all, good game IMO and still running ver1.4, up to ver 1.8 i think.

Is the 'Iron Monger sitting above the playfeild or below it?

On mine the plastic is flush at the back of the feature, but it does drop below the playfield a bit on the side closest to the player

[wonder]

Had a few more games again last night and my ball bounces and changes direction when it goes over iron monger.Will pull glass of today and have a good look.It not series but i think i will end up with some wear marks on my play field at a latter date.

Wonder if cliffy will be making a insert for around iron monger as i can see that area been a problem as well for wear..Still play like crap but that could be because i still running 1.2,will attempt to update as well.

Will let you no what i find but still happy with game over all.

I do not think we will see a ‘Cliffy’ for this hole

From what I have seen, Cliffys tend to be for simple straight holes, ‘Iron Monger’ has a step
Also there is no post for it to fasten to

Found that the three screws holding the plastic cover were a bit higher compared to the playfield but was able to screw them down a bit more.Still got some bounce but not as bad as before.Might have to put some mylar down around those magnets.

Can see that Iron Monger hole being a problem at a later date, just have to wait and see.

Sounds like a great game guys-how fast does she play? If I could fork out that sort of coin Ironman would be the machine for me as my 1st NIB.

It is a nice and fast game, G1
There are acouple of posts that come up and stop the ball while a mode is starting but otherwise it is non-stop

Hey Wonder
Tired of shooting the right ramp, your shot not being hard enough to reach the top and the ball draining?

Go to the post at the right of the ramp, remove the sleeve and replace with 3x 3/16 inch rubbers
The ball will bounce back to the left slingshot

I think I will eventually replace the post with a minipost or something similar so it looks factory issue

There are plenty of games that if you shoot the ramp but do not make it all the way and when the ball starts back down it drains S.D.T.M.
The most simple way to fix this is what I have done on most of mine, That is between the post and the post sleeve push in a tooth pick (cocktail stick) towards the side facing the ramp entrance. This just causes the ball to catch the sleeve on the way down thus stopping a drain S.D.T.M.

Don't think you will find a cheaper fix, and the best thing about it, you can't tell its been altered.

Do up the flippers so they make the shot, or live with it - that is how it was designed!

OK, some people might not agree with me.

The ramps are so steep,it really slows the ball down,

Yes it does get a bit annoying, as you no that it going to go straight down the middle when it comes back. Haven't change mine yet but i will.

I put the shaker motor on and it feels a lot better.
