So there were 2 screws in the bottom of the machine that probably got loose during handling.
One of these was surely from the flipper assembly, the other wasn't as it was way too long. The other screw I found that waa probably from the flipper assembly was way too short (less than the 1/4"). The one that remained on the right assembly bracket had a lock washer (which is better than in the schematic).

Anyway, I can only assume that only a single screw was put on each bracket instead of two.
In any case, it was a less than 5 minutes fix to put new screws (with lock washers).

It now plays great!

Has anyone experiencing this audio noise after a while tried to install a ferrite noise suppressor? Some people with noise issue said they had good results with this on Pinside but not certain it was a case of many hours of operation or not.

Would be just interesting to see if it patches the problem for folks here. If it's a generalized problem waiting for a fix, it's always good to have a patch in the meanwhile.

Received and installed MMR LE #0221 yesterday evening!
So far, everything seems to be working very well except one thing. Note that I never owedn a pinball but played a lot of Medieval Madness in the days so I know how it feels.
After a few games, I noticed the left flipper felt a bit loose. It was hard to do the damsel. Looked at the flippers under the playfield and the problem was pretty easy to spot: a bracket in the left flipper assembly was missing screws! So the fix will be easy one I get the screws. Starburst will bring some after work this evening to fix this.
I think there's only one screw on the right bracket (instead of 2 in the schematics) and none on the left bracket.

See attached manual page. Screws #14 in the schematic for bracket #13. No screws were on the left flipper bracket, only one on the right flipper bracket (with an added lock washer like #10).


Anyway, no biggie as if it's only that, it's a very small problem. No need to enter a ticket for this as a novice at pinball maintenance like me can easily fix it.


However, I suppose it's something easy to verify during quality control since if you move the loose flipper with your hand, the coil and part of the flipper assembly moves with it, which it wouldn't do if the bracket was well fixed.
