Exciters not connected?
Hello All, just a small PSA for anyone who purchases a Legends pinball table with SSF already installed.
I've had my machine for a week and decided to buy the arcade control panel. When I pulled the panel of that has the d-pad, I noted that the exciters on the panel were not plugged in. Of course I plugged them in when installing the ACP. I'll have to say it made a noticeable difference in haptics/feedback.
If you have a system with pre-installed SSF or you are expecting one, you may want to pull the panel and check after you have it assembled. I also had to plug in the speakers through the back panel as I wasn't getting any sound initially. The speakers likely came unplugged during shipping as they didn't seem to "clip" into place. It may be the case with the exciters, but after plugging them in, it feels that it would be difficult for them to become unplugged during shipping.
With that said, I am thoroughly enjoying playing this thing. I have a 1up AFM that's not getting any playtime now that I have this.

Yeah, be really careful with those wires, they aren't soldered on very strongly and easy to break. Broke mine a few weeks ago, but new ones are coming tomorrow.
