I'm not as sold on the "modern display". If I want a modern display I will play the XBox One. I do like the colored dots tho compared to the non-colored. The modern display also leads to "cheating" the development cycle with using movie clips but then games where they have to create animations makes me feel like they are slacking somewhere else in the game's development to compensate for the extra time to create animations. I really want to play both these games side by side tho. MGC should be a good chance.

Several options:
1. Move the two weights so that they do not line up with one another, try 180 degrees apart.
2. Remove one of the weights
3. Trim weights

The shaking force is a function of motor speed and off balance MR (mass times the radius i.e. the further off center that mass rotates the greater the MR and greater the force for a given motor speed)

The window should polish easy.

What are Premium owners choosing for side blades?

How many balls are installed in this game? I don't have mine yet.

That's it... I'm pulling all the bulbs and only playing in the dark. Dimples... hazing... What else do I need to worry about.

Joined the club. Purchased a game thru the Marco deal at MGC.

What do you figure this error means? Pretty sure there is no switch 35.

I'm feeling the opposite... Far easier than TWD but I'm just starting to learn the rules

Lower playfield window is plastic... If\when it gets foggy then polish it... Both sides of needed.

Never had a ball stuck on my lower playfield.

I've never had a problem with my Grandpa scoop either... In fact, I have the opposite. I hit that scoop too often.

I did have a problem with shots on the lower playfield right ramp registering. yancy had a suggestion in another thread to put a piece of plastic above the opto sensor to prevent the ball from jumping the sensor. I did this and now I get every shot registering.

Hmmm... I've never used plastic protectors but my plastic up near Herman (your 3rd pic) broke. I might have to try these now.

Yes... Remotes can be intimidating.

Yeah... It won't melt. Despite what that other thread says... It's not made of shit.

LoL.. You must have read that other thread. I made the mistake of posting in it, only to realize that was not a constructive thread.

Careful with your tone... We may have to boot you too the other thread.

Worst code ever thread where they mostly bash the game. I was mostly joking with my comment, btw.

Yep... I'm smelling trolls getting closer.

Got a new Grand Champion score today.

But I thought the Munster Madness score was more impressive.

I've been working toward a Super Jackpot champion score. Missed Doozie today. Had 7 Super Jackpots ready, playfield multiplier was way up there. I hit Kittie several times after both the 2&3 multiplier lights were lit but I drained before hitting Super Jackpot.

What is the limit on multipler? How do I know where I'm at once there 2 & 3 are lit?

But I keep adding after both those are lit?

That seems to make sense. Kitty would light and I would still have both 2x & 3x lit (may have been flashing, don't recall for sure). I'd keep hitting kitty and 2x & 3x would stay lit.

All the Premium games that I've seen are crystal clear. I had an ACDC and removed the window several times to clean it... Finally sold it with a dirty window.

30mil super Jackpot score tonight

Not easy at all. I've had bigger but was unable to cash it in.

Pinside sure had become a bunch of whiners. Like you could not see a color premium coming? Really

Regardless of what's an option... The Pinside will complain.

B&W Prem is the way to go, btw. I'm not knocking the LE either.

I betcha cannot prove it either way.

You know.... The surprise of a color Prem.

Additionnaly, PRE/LE 1.00 have these :

Fixed:
- The lower timer will no longer time down after Mystery awards Start Spot,
Start Enlarging Ray, or Start Raven.
- Skill shot timer was lasting after Grandpa Multiball started.
- Removed right spinner from list of switches that need to be fixed.

New:
- Added lower playfield ball popper lamp effect when the ball is popping out

Removed:
- Announcement of color Premium version

There is no making Pinside happier.

Complainers will complain.

Yeah... Damn Corvette. Had they announced the mid engine Corvette 10 years ago, I would have waited.

Stop trying to make sense of this. I need every manufacturers 10 year plan before I do anything.... From now on.

Premium versions have always had the same playfield as LE until the B&W Munsters Prem.

Darn...Darn...Darn

Was that evident upon release? I was not aware, I may (or may not) have bought an LE had I known or not known of that one.

Loving my B&W Prem. Don't care much for the color, personally.

Now why am I having troubles updating the code... Grrr

mostly reading. I tried to do things like I did when I updated Met or at least how I remember doing them. Then I read this: https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/How-to-Create-a-SD-Card-for-a-SPIKE-System-Pinball-Machine.pdf

Seems to be going good now.

Me to. I saw it nowhere on their 10 year plan.

My Herman plastic broke... Where can I get a replacement?

Emailed Stern support. Chas is sending me the updated parts.

Here too.

None of my scores saved.

I don't know. My scores got erased but I as kinda looking forward to it, initially. Now that I start playing it is getting old. I've probably hit 8 high scores in one game... Herman champion, Lilly champion, Grandpa champion, combo champion, spot champion, munster madness champion, etc...

Of course, I started over in skill level for some reason too so I beat the score each game instead of putting down an impressive score and working to beat it... I put down a pathetic score followed by another pathetic score and another... all of them "champion". I did not experience this before cause the game was at MGC prior to me taking it home and I had to work toward the champion scores.

I think that the Pro games got a goodie bag... I did not with my Prem.

It seems as tho early Premiums did not have a goodie bag. I am certain that I did not

Make that 7.

I pretty much play the lower since it is the quicker flipping playfield... Chances are I hit something on top as well when I concentrate on the lower.

I would like to sell mine. I want a Dialed In and don't really want to add another game. I gave my little guy the option of what to sell Met Prem or Mun Prem... He said Munsters.

He signed a Pro translite for me. I have a b&w Prem.
