I’m compiling a list of tweaks for Mando from info I’ve seen and on my own machine.
I’ve put a post sleeve on this one under Grogu.
I could hear the ball hitting something every now and then, and then saw on pinside about this post.
After fitting sleeve, no noise and still smooth on orbit.
I’m about to tweak the left rail as the ball doesn’t always return safely to left flipper, it sometimes clips and triggers the left sling.
The ball sometimes gets stuck on entry to the mini playfield, after checking to see if any vertical adjustment of the diverter mech I will gently bend the downward curled section up a few mm so it’s nearer to level with the mini PF when it’s horizontal.
The ball sometimes bounces back out of the diverter and back down the ramp.
I propose to fit a rubber at the end to dampen the ball.
The right ramp entry isn’t as smooth as I think it should be. This is held in place by a bolt under the playfield so you can adjust how much the flap bends and therefore the steepness of entry.
I can see wear starting on the right side of the shooter lane from ball ejaculation.
I’m fitting the Cliffy double protector to eliminate this.
When launching the ball manually with any power the ball skips half way up before entering the playfield - this is a typical
AFM thing so will need to adjust the metal platform tho I will leave this until last, once everything has settled, it’s no so much a problem, just annoying.
The main ramp left protector is too short.
Reports of a number of ramps breaking and the cause currently being investigated by Stern but I’d prefer to do something before mine breaks.
The lift up ramp diverter buzzes loudly, I currently wear headphones until I try bending the coil bracket.
To be continued ……
