MMR Support [MMR Members Only] / MMR diffuser installed

« on: March 30, 2016, 12:29:42 PM »

OK so I installed the diffuser tonight it wasn't as complex to install as the directions sound. Basically what you have to do is remove the 5 small light boards from the playfield you can keep them plugged in and let them hang then unplug all of the connectors from the top blue solenoid  driver board (I used my daughters washable markers to color code each plug ) then unplug 23 plugs along the right side of the big green board (GI and Switches) from JS28 clockwise all the way to J8. All of those plugs were color coded from the factory or at least on mine it was. Then unplug the 2 troll switches (SW74 and SW75) also unplug the Ethernet  cable and the thick green cable.  Next unscrew the screws holding the green board to the Playfield but keep them in the standoffs. Also remove the 2 steel wire bundle hangers that in the way and let them hang. Here comes the part that took a bit of patience. You need to slowly work the board up each side between the sling shot coils it's a bit tight and tedious because of all the connectors that snag so just go slow. Once that's done maneuver the diffuser sheet between the board and th PF. Once you get it lined up you hand tighten a few screws in the green board's standoffs to hold the diffuser sheet now gently work the board back between the sling coils and line the mounting screws back up with their holes. Make sure you don't trap any plugs between the board and the PF. Tighten down the board and plug everything back in. Then reinstall the small light boards with their matching diffuser piece. Overall it took me about a hour and a half (including a cigarette and cold beer break lol) it is a huge difference on the inserts. The best way I can  describe it is that it looks exactly like an incandescent bulb and gets rid of that bright spot in the middle. It doesn't make the ink look solid jet black or anything but I can read them with no issue during game play even the king inserts are readable. Here are some pics of the process

MMR Support [MMR Members Only] / Light strip above back panel lightning help needed

« on: March 14, 2016, 04:24:46 PM »

Anyone tie in a 12v lightstrip above the back panel? I'm wondering how a blacklight led strip would look lighting up the Lightning when the flashers flash but not sure where to tie into  I'd like for it to trigger with the back panel flasher but it is a board not a bulb and socket. Some of my concerns are: how will the board react to having another string of lads come after it? Will the main board sense an issue at the flasher board with more of a load on it?

MMR Support [MMR Members Only] / MMR insert text is thin and transparent

« on: January 28, 2016, 10:11:54 AM »

I just received my MMRLE yesterday and The text on the inserts  is very thin and not readable when the light is lit. I would consider this a manufacturing defect because I have definitely seen both original medieval madness and MMR's where this is not an issue at all. Reading through some pinside forum pages it seems that I am not the only one with this issue and also it seems to only be an issue on later runs of MMR.  I've submitted a ticket with CGC and am awaiting a reply. Anyone else on here have the same issue. Any ideas of what steps could be taken to resolve said issue?
