Opened up the RFM PC to attempt re-applying of thermal paste. Further research is needed to determine how to remove the heatsink safely. I put the PC back without any work done on it.

Hard to make this one consistent, it comes in waves. Note in the video that the plunger retracts much more quickly after relaunches than after initial launches. But even that doesn’t obviously relate to strong versus weak initial launches. I got weak and strong initial launches without obvious connection to how long the previous plunger extension stayed extended.

Open Problem: Ball is struggling to launch all the way (weak) on the first try. Usually fine on the 2nd attempt. Machine still playable.

Removed extra ball when replay awarded, reduced ball save to 7 seconds. Disabled extra ball awards at 50 million and 200 million

Closed Problem: Update settings for Grand Opening so that games are shorter

Game has not has the loud fan issue, will monitor the game over time to determine needed preventative maintenance. Will replace thermal paste on the CPU/heatsink soon; power supply fan will be replaced after further triage.
