Stern Tech School: Adjusting Factory Settings on King Kong Assembly

Summary

Stern Tech School guide for King Kong animatronic removal, servo clocking, and recalibration procedures.

Kyle from Stern Pinball Tech School provides a comprehensive technical guide for removing, servicing, and recalibrating the King Kong animatronic assembly used in King Kong and Avatar pinball machines. The tutorial covers mechanical disassembly, servo motor clocking procedures, calibration mark alignment, and the critical distinction between factory calibration values stored on the node board versus software calibration stored on the SD card. The video emphasizes that factory reset behavior depends on whether the assembly's physical position has been modified, requiring operator understanding of the dual-storage calibration system.
