Quoted from flashinstinct:

Yeah I got mine from a guy that said he had just gotten it shopped. Just to show you this is what I got when it was delivered.

That was the least of my problems. The gopher catch plates were none existent. There was dirt everywhere.

Quoted from ParaBax:

Does anyone have any tips on aligning the shooter lane and the ramp to get the ball to successfully go up to the driving range at plunge? I'm not even talking about the auto-fire, on my NGG only about 10% of the plunges will actually go up the ramp, most shots bounce back and forth along the sides of the first 6" of the ramp and come back down. I've inspected the plunger and its already aligned pretty centered on the ball. I think perhaps the gate that protects the shooter lane is altering its trajectory.

Quoted from Robl45:

noticed a couple of things while playing. Slam ramp is not going down all the time when lit, I'm thinking it appears when it rolls over the inner lane switch and the automatic plunger doesn't seem to be able to shoot the balls up the left ramp anymore or just barely gets them up there. Manual getting them up there fine. It was getting them up there fine but last night they were rolling back as they got to the top of the ramp.

Quoted from Robl45:

So I tested and the left inlane registers when I press down on the switch, and most of the time when the ball goes over but does miss sometimes. It missed once when rolling the ball when testing out of 5 tests or so and missed last night during the game. What have people done to make it more consistent?

Quoted from Alan_L:

What color is your shooter spring? My shooter will not launch a ball that will go all the way up the upper left ramp. I'm going to replace the barrel spring and shooter sleeve, but should I install a stronger (red?) spring? The manual calls for a 10-148-1 which is a medium to strong spring.
Thanks,
Alan

Quoted from jcar302:

What have you guys done for lighting to make it look right? Most games i'm content with all natural white comet 4smd or frosted, but I feel like they have given my pin a little bit of a hospital operating room type of look on the top half.
Typically I don't colorize the led's, but i'm feeling like in the case of this pin I may need to.
Do mirror blades help spread the lighting better?
Adding the decals to all the ramps has helped, but I still feel like i'm missing something.

Very nice!!! Is that the teed off gopher?!?? Spill the beans and detail your buildout! Would love to see some photos if willing to share!

Quoted from alveolus:

Bought the gopher off eBay.
Patch of outdoor turf.
Paper mache’ dirt mound. Hand-painted.
LED strip lights for illumination and an addressable strip for the color effects

I made a custom backdrop based on the backglass artwork.
The hole lights are plastic golf balls with vinyl stickers.[quoted image]

Quoted from dudah:

Very cool.
How did you get the hole # to sync up?

Quoted from micmse:

My husband and I have a NGG delivered yesterday but unfortunately we have not really been able to play because there are some issues we were not expecting. The first one we fixed with a fuse but now the ball is going into the putting green and nothing happens. After a few seconds the machine starts to do the ball searching but is never able to find the ball.
We have tested the solenoids individually and the clubhouse kicker will fire once and then won't fire again until we test a different solenoid and come back to the clubhouse kicker. Unfortunately the store we bought this from is in California and we are in Missouri add that to pinball repair "newbies" and you have a house of upset pinballers. Any words of advice?

Quoted from micmse:

Ok played a few games and now get a switch 12 error. I have checked the manual but don't see 12 labeled anywhere other than in the matrix. Can someone tell me where it is located?

Quoted from Run_dll:

Just brought home my Gofers! Proud to be a part of the club! I do have one quick question though.
I've levelled it but a full plunge doesn't make it up the left ramp to set up the Hole in One shot. It rattles off the posts at the bottom of the ramp as it tries to go up. Is this a levelling issue? I had it at 7.5 degrees and taken back down to 6.5 but it still does it. The metal bracket over the top of the plunger is loose aswell so it seems the plunger gets caught on it sometimes. Is it like this on your machines?

Quoted from GoldenBear:

This was posted 5 years ago without an answer. Mine does this occasionally, not certain if it is just after my playfield was up but anyone else have this happen?
