that's the part I need! The buy it button doesn't seem to be working. Will have to send him an email. Hopefully he still has some. I will try to find a few things to order from Marco. 1.25 for the part 10 to ship haha.

Yes, that's the way he operates...via email.

Thanks for the info they are also out of stock

#1054 5 years ago

Pm me the part numbers, pretty sure I have what you need

I just purchased a set through Bill (passionforpinball). From what I can tell my left gofer lock is also having issues, might as well replace both. He said he just ran a set last week so he has more available if anyone is interested. I found the spring on ebay for $1!! Just $3 more to ship

#1056 5 years ago

Any benefit to software 1.3 vs 1.2? I noticed my game is 1.2 not the latest 1.3. Was debating buying a chip for it, worth the 15 bucks?

http://www.actionpinball.com/parts.php?item=ROMS228
Just found this.....
Software Release - Rev 1.3
ROM date is: 04/06/98
Changes from Version 1.2:
- Improved ball search and missing ball compensation.
- Improved Hole-in-One Challenge interaction with Ripoff and Pop-A-Gofer.
- Some display and speech improvements.
Software Release - Rev 1.2
ROM date is: 02/16/98
This G11 works with all shipped versions of the sound ROMs. No update is necessary from version 1.0 sound ROMs.
Changes from version 1.0:
- Added new adjustment A2.32 (KICK DOWN MIDDLE). This adjustment (defaults to NO) turns off the kick from the Putting Green down towards the flippers. The kick will still happen at the start of Mulitball, but all other arrivals will be passed to the jet bumpers. Setting this to YES reverts to the original action.
- Improved switch handling for the Golf Cart toy.
- Changed rules slightly to light the Slam Ramp for one shot when a gofer is whacked.
- Changed Golf Stroke rules. Every hole starts at 7, the count drops by hitting gofer, making a drive shot, or putting out.
- Fixed a bug in status report.
- Some lamp and display glitches fixed.
- Improved kickback coil fire timing.
- Speech has been made a little more player-friendly.
Software Release - Rev 1.0
ROM date is: 12/01/97
This G11 works with all shipped versions of the sound ROMs.
Changes from version 0.5:
- Added German, French and Spanish translations
- Fixed german default pricing
- Fixed broken Time per Credit bookkeeping entry.
- Tournament mode rules adjusted.
- Many new lamp and display improvements.
- Improved broken switch and gofer compensation.
- Some speech improvements.
- Added Gofer test and Ordered Lamp test
- Added Hole-in-One and Daily Champions
- Fixed bug in Super Drive.
- Added difficulty preset adjustments
- Fixed ramp count bug on 5th multiball wave.
- Fixed a bug that prevented Hole in One challenge from starting off a true hole-in-one.
- More support for burn-in testing

Cliffy owns and runs "Passion for Pinball". Good deal on the spring.

I hate to keep asking questions, but you guys seem to know your stuff with the NGG so I got another one for ya. I added these felt furniture pads under my slam ramp (I trimmed them so they arnt as thick). It has made my slam ramp much quieter when dropping which gives me the impression the slam ramp was making hard contact with the play-field still. it seems to be much more smooth now and the bad locations under the screws do not seem to be making contact as I can slide a note card under them no problem now. My question is will these sand/wear on the play-field themselves? I have a piece of mylar under the slamp ramp but 2 trimmed pieces are partially on the play-field. The ramp still is low enough for the ball to launch up to the second level for the hole in one also.

Well good news, After installing the cliffy brackets both ramps work great, error codes cleared up after 2 games. I also replaced the bushing for the slam ramp and seems to be much sturdier now. All I need now is my decal kit!!

#1061 5 years ago

Out of curiosity what settings does everyone play at? I have everything set to factory settings but the A-Sound and A-Music. Didnt really notice a different tho in what that changes for sound and music? Anyone have some input?

#1062 5 years ago

Hello, so I let a project sit a little to long, and have lost my disassembling pictures. Was hoping someone had some pictures of their playfield with the ramps off. I'm scrating my head on where some plastics went. TIA

Here are some angles from the last time I took off ramps. I’m not sure they are what you need but good luck!

Bud decided to get stuck last weekend, so apparently my weekend will involve trying to clean and troubleshoot the mechanism. I’ve done a bit of looking around, and I know the gofers are really annoying to work on. Does anyone have any tips/tricks to make it easier?

If he is stuck up check the large metal post/pole that moves him up and down. The little pin in mine moved out slightly and was catching restricting his movement.

Unfortunately I know about stuck gofers all too well. I’ve rebuilt both gofers twice in the time I’ve owned my NGG. Gofers are now bullteproofed, but my machine has been down all week due to a new issue. My replacement MOU board arrives today, so we will see. NGG is a PIA to maintain. When it’s working, it’s a fun game.

#1067 5 years ago

Anyone have success repainting there goofers? I bought plastic touch up paint at the local hardware store, applied and let it dry overnight. Then put 4 coats of waterbased polyurethane over it. They held up well for about 100 games now buds starting to already show wear again around his cheeks... ugh

My right orbit (right cart path) is not qualifying a 'drive'. Spinner switch works.

Where do I start in resolving why a full shot thru the outer right orbit doesn't qualify a 'drive' shot?

Test your orbit switches. If they work, the ball may be simply missing them so they may require adjustment

Geez...I figured out why the right ramp wasn't working. The switch #5647-12693-19 (right outlane switch #27) was testing fine.

When I pushed a flex-cable magnetic tool into the right outlane, out came two screws just laying in the back of the lane. The ball must have been bouncing over them and never making contact with the switch as it rolled thru the lane up and around. I have no idea where the screws go. They've probably been there since I bought the game. I was just using the magnetic flex-cable to push on the switch and wasn't expecting to pull out two screws.

Crazy.

#1071 5 years ago

Stripped my gofers down and reassembled with this piece of plastic left over. Can’t find it in the manual. Can anyone tell me where it goes?

Well, I'm in the club. Picked up a really nice example from a good Pinside seller. Everything works and clean. Had an issue when firing it up the first time after getting it home where left GI would not light up along with a few flashers. Reseated some connectors in the back box and all is good.

Love the hole in one shot! My record is 6 in one game and have completed 12 holes so far with a high score of 82,000,000. Lots of fun.

Order the premium Cointaker LEDs today and hooked it up to my subwoofer.

Great game for guests and people that golf. Easy rules. Did I tell you I like the Hole in one shot?

Thank you! I'll likely make a repro it anyone else is in need

#1082 5 years ago

I have now put 50 plays on this game. For the $ I can't think of a better machine. I like it enough that I decided to order a ColorDMD along with the LED package. I don't see this one leaving the game room anytime soon.

#1083 5 years ago
Quoted from glasairpilot:

I've got the LCD version in NGG here.Works really well with the 'cartoony' dmd features set to (hi res) smooth lines.

The decal set from flashinstinct is a nice addition too.

#1086 5 years ago

What is your high score for this game, how many holes completed, and total number of Hole-in-One?

I tallied up 143 Million last night finishing 25 holes with 9 Hole-in-Ones. That was a five ball game, though.

2 weeks later
#1087 5 years ago

Sheesh, 143 Million!? That's a great game. How many extra balls? I think I put up around 65 million one night, can't remember how many extra balls, but more than likely only 1 or 2.

#1088 5 years ago

I've only broken 100mm once. Not easy to do. That jackpot ramp is no gimme.

#1089 5 years ago

I cant even break 50 million... I have hit 18 holes once and my score was only 35 million... 2 multi-balls and 5 hole in ones. What gives lol. All my settings are default. I am also playing 6 balls though vs factory 3.

Anyone have a lexan playfield protector?
I'm going to shop out my game and install mine this winter. Curious if I need to readjust where the slam ramp mounts on the mech to accomadate the extra thickness to preserve the protector.
I plan to put some padding under the slam ramp anyways.

#1091 5 years ago
Quoted from dudah:

I haven't used one of these, but they are about 20 mils thick, so you probably don't need to do too many adjustments.

You can check how much free-play you have currently with the slam ramp to playfield. As long as the bottom is padded and there is a little space under the ramp when it's in the down position (when you lift it), you should be OK.

After you install it, I'd check all of the roll over type switches, to see if they are actuated properly with the ball. You may need to bend the wire arms on a couple so that they are actuated.

Just making the "holes" isn't the best way to get points.

Any one have issues getting the ball to shoot up the side ramp? I think my spring is weak on the plunger. I adjusted it to make sure it was straight. The auto launcher gets up no problem and if I smash the knob is launches up no problem, only if I pull the plunger back and release it struggles to get up the ramp. Any input would be appreciated.

which cointaker kit did you get for NGG? did you have to add/substitute any of the led's? are you happy with it? mine is still incandescent and I need to update it. thanks for the info.

Your auto launch goes all the way up the side ramp? Mine doesn't. Is it supposed to?

Id say 50/50 it makes it up the ramp, sometimes in multiball it gives me a free jackpot, I guess now that I think of it I bet it shouldnt.

I did cometpinball - TWIN 2835 in sunlight/frosted for all bulbs above/under play field except flashers. I ordered 60 of the #555 and 60 of the 44's, I then ordered the 10 smd 12v 5630 to color match the 12v flashers everywhere. I left the backglass standard bulbs, I hate the led bleed look up top. I personally love this look. the twins in sunlight looks perfect and doesnt blink you.

I personally love this look. the twins in sunlight looks perfect and doesnt blink you.

This is good advice.

I went with 1 SMD warm white frosted for most playfield inserts. One color change I made that I really like: I put 1 SMD frosted greens under every "DRIVE" insert, which makes it way easier to pick out what you're supposed to be hitting. I also put red under the extra ball, and orange under multiball. I matched a few red inserts too, not sure it's necessary, and I got double flex bulbs for the sand trap, single flex for the wheel indicator.

I like to brighten up the playfield to reduce glare and help when playing in a dark room, so I added OPMAX bulbs under the slings and ball return guide (6 total bayonet base). Get them in whatever white you did you GI (I went cool, but sunlight is very nice too). I also added spotlights to the sling posts and put opmax in them. I went with 5SMD for the rest of the spots in the game.

I used natural white 2 SMDs frosted in the backbox. Looks great and take stress off the GI connector. You can get independently flashing 455s for the backbox as well from comet. I got a mix of slow and fast blinking so they don't sync up.

I left my flashers incandescent. I've played a friends JP with LED flashers that were so blindingly bright they detracted from the game. If you do go for LEDs I'd go for the weaker ones.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer
