My buddy went to tilt to play R&M and got the ball lodged good in a spot. Tilted the game and it didn’t budge the ball. Not sure if it was fluke or not because he’s not a pinhead (but I hyped up the game so much he wanted to check it), but I wanted to upload a pic I made of where he told me it got stuck. I wish he took a real pic of it.
80B60236-48B5-486A-B0F8-4E826E27DD4F (resized).pngQuoted from Whysnow:Hopefully the guy just let Tilt know and they likely fixed it in 2 seconds rather than hope they found it on a pinside thread randomly from a pic of a friend of a friend, lol.
Heh yea I don’t think he knew to tell Tilt. He’s not really into pinball (yet). He told me that the ship eventually shook it loose but he also told me that he tilted it trying to get it loose. I’m trying to find out now what exactly happened 
I’m assuming it went into ball search when that ball never made it back home safe post tilt. He just said it took a while for the ship to shake.
Quoted from littlecammi:Unless maybe the marked area in the picture is on top of the horseshoe cover resulting from an airball (and not down in the horseshoe) and the ball was stuck between the base of the mount for the ship and the two exposed lock nuts.
it was stuck on top, says he. Definitely from an airball.
Sorry for any confusion regarding the picture. It was not my inner artists finest hour

Quoted from Zablon:I seriously doubt this. The number of 'bolted to the floor' and turn around and sell it in a few months around here is astounding....and if things continue to go downhill, there'll be a lot of people trying to cash out of pins in the short term.
Keeping my fingers crossed so i can buy up a sweet machine or two in the medium term.

Woah I just found out who did cactus canyon continued... and now I’m even more stoked for R&M. We are truly blessed to have such a great group making this machine.
Edit: as if I could get more hyped about it... apparently it is possible!
Quoted from Zablon:Free 10 foot pole with cash payments.
The cash is taped to this hockey stick thats taped to this other hockey stick.
But srsly if they need the $$ id also throw down some cash.
i imagine my order will be worked on soon anyway, right after easter /s

is it fedex freight? my recent BM66 purchase was bought on a monday and arrived on thursday, across the USA. I was amazed.
But if it is fedex freight, go watch them outside the whole time. Dude trucked my machine about 5 ft on a "DO NOT TRUCK" side before i told him he was doing it wrong, luckily it did not damage anything. Hell, I guess i learned a lesson of go watch anyone whos trucking my NIB pin.

SpookyLuke are these limited time only deals, or do you plan on continuing to manufacture these into the foreseeable future? Cuz I dont (yet) own my very own TNA but would love to have the metal work here.

Quoted from Kevlar:Is there a post somewhere about setting up the machine sound? Scott posted a little guide for TNA somewhere that I used before, but I can't find it. For those unfamiliar there's slightly more to it than most machines, there's the volume on the rear of the screen, the amp volume as well as crossover and sub level, as well as the coin door volume level.
Any answer to this? My machine is rattling and the bass is super loud compared to the callouts. Id love to tweak.
Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:I just figured this out because it was also driving me nuts.
In the cabinet there is an amplifier with about 5 knobs on it. From furthest away to closest to the coin door they are: Volume, bass, treble, x-over, and something else. It's jammed up against the side of the cabinet so it's hard to read the labels.
Anyway just leave the glass on, adjust volume on the coin door up and down as you play with each of those knobs. You get a good idea what each one does after a while, and eventually you can figure out which is which.
I couldn't even hear the Shwifty song, and then I found a good adjustment for the knobs and now it's crystal clear.
Hot damn, the hero we need.
Hey, so when I get an "update required" screen after performing an update, does this mean its a botched update and I need to redo the usb stick and try again?
edit: I used linux to format the USB with a fat partition and put the new R&M code (6.19 -- also my birthday!) on that partition.
edit: im dumb, it was a bad download, its updating now.
epthegeek I got a hilarious cycle of continual ball launching during a tilt. I will attempt to recreate it with a USB stick in this weekend.
Basically, I tilted right as i locked ball one. The game tilted, but then the ball lock screen came on, and a ball just continually loaded into the shooter lane and shot with the game in the tilted state. The ball I had in the horseshoe did not fall out. But it was auto launch, drain, auto launch, drain, over and over again.
epthegeek bug report for the horseshoe with locking for multiball.
Steps to repro (I have a video as well if you like)
1) Hit the captive ball to light lock
2) Lock the ball on ricks side, letting it fall into ricks side (does not go to mortys side). Ball one is locked.
3) With auto plunged ball, hit captive ball to light lock, morty drop target falls. Rick is lit green.
4) Hit rick drop target, moving ball to morty, and morty glows green.
5) Hit morty drop target, moving the ball to rick. Rick does not light.
6) Hit rick drop target again, where the ball is placed, but unlit. Drops the second ball.
Quoted from epthegeek:There has to be settle time after any ball movement so the game can keep track of things - so actions immediately after juggling a ball may not register as expected. I’m doing the best I can.
Makes sense. The way it manifested to me was a captive ball then immediate bounce into Rick, which caused the balls to fall.. I dont remember the setup but i was just putzing with it to try to recreate it. Ty for the info.
Quoted from epthegeek:This 4/5 step is where the problem is. When a ball moves in the ship, I have to have a large delay before I can verify where the balls are in case they roll across the top of the arc slowly (just ask Karl). So, when you hit it from Rick to Morty and then back quickly before that time has expired, the game hasn't decided for sure where the ball is yet because switches keep changing.
After pouring a fair amount of brain juice on it, I've altered the secondary logic that tracks single ball states inside the lock so now it both detects a transfer sooner (time cut in half) has an even longer delay for balls slowly rolling over the top, and will immediately re-raise any drop knocked down when it hasn't solidly located the ball yet. So in the outlined test steps (now) when you hit the non-green target after rapidly re-transferring the ball, it will immediately snap back up preventing the leak.
Dude, you rock. Ill gladly test it out in a beta 
Im a great tester and can provide good repro steps as well.
/me hopes he is picked as tribute to the beta testers.
Quoted from xfassa:I got my invoice about 2 weeks ago (#139). No word yet on pickup. Guessing butter cabinet takes longer. I am not complaining, it will be ready when its ready.
I was invoiced in full for a butter cab #131 on Jul 2, it was shipped on Jul 9 via R+L Carriers. Delivery was Jul 14.
Quoted from davisjl1979:I went butter.
I had a butter TNA for a bit and I think it looks amazing.
Id love to bolt a butter TNA to my floor.
Quoted from tarzxvf:So the international units are being built out of order? Looks like some of the 190's are out of the way as well. No complaints just curious
Gotta fill that shipping container!
Quoted from tarzxvf:What options? I know butter cabs are taking longer to ship.
My butter cab, #131 did not take any additional time to ship. I think the "taking longer to ship" for butter cabs was dismissed a while ago in this thread.

I just want to shout out to Scott "Bug Nuts" Danesi for cutting out the bug nuts from the fluorescent plastic protector he made. Its so damn hilarious to see the whole bug lit up with a different color sack. A++ move sir. I applaud you.
Yall need to do what I did, buy the plastics before your game ships, then you will have them when it arrives. Then forget for like a week, and put them on after someone else brings up bug nuts on the thread.
Quoted from FatPanda:It really keeps you from getting screwed on a fast solid shot. I would vote for putting it on by default.
Hell I didnt know it even existed until now. Ive lost many a ball down the drain cuz of this and will be turning it on this evening.

Quoted from ziz:To clarify, for me it would never happen and then all of a sudden during a game it would happen very consistently and carry over to the next game. After resetting the issue would go away entirely. This situation happened twice.
Ahh, no, it seems to happen (anecdotally) while rick is still telling me to get to the portal. But I feel like its got to be hardware. I also found 2 screws in the cabinet when i looked under the hood, but did not inspect closely. I should have.
edit: its happened 2 games back to back in the last ~20 min.
Quoted from xfassa:You are not alone. I have had it happen several times too. I am trying to replicate the conditions that cause it to happen but have been unsuccessful thus far.
I just spent 20 minutes trying to manually recreate it. Did not. The only thing I (anecdotally) remember is rick saying "get to the portal morty" when it happened. No clue if it has anything to do w it.
Quoted from pinballinreno:Please get my game mostly debugged and close to finished.
Hopefully before #317
Thanks!
I prefer my game like my meat, raw and bloody.
Quoted from epthegeek:Found. Fixed. Packing a new build for the beta testers RIGHT NOW.
Edit: If you want to avoid the bug until the next public update - set “Adventure Easy Starts” to 0, that should work around it.
the hero we need. Oh wait, we got ya!

Quoted from Rarehero:Got my #170 invoice the other day! I got schwifty. Then I had to clean the shit off the floor.
I hope you pulled down your panties first.
Also, epic avatar.
edit: damn nice collection you got there!!!!! Thats like a large selection of my dream pins!!!
Quoted from RandomGuyOffCL:I will when they stop showing up to my house hella sweaty joking about my wife’s tits in their native tongue while trying to charge me $800 for a new garage door spring!
I too have met every human who is a tradesmen and can blanket that they all behave exactly this same way. /s

Quoted from JustEverett:Did you contact spooky?
I just contacted them as per advice from this thread. Will report back once i get word from them. Im #131.
Quoted from SpookyLuke:It would seem so. Should be sorted now. There will obviously be some lag with games being in boxes or shipped. Leg manufacturer is aware and we will be increasing the protector thickness regardless. Most people are just throwing an extra set of metal protectors over the top!
Is there a recommended protector that I should get to prevent further damage?
Is there anything I can do to the existing cut in the material to prevent further damage?
Quoted from SpookyLuke:Hit me with an email and some photos and I will see how I can help!
probably a silly Q but what is your email? I only know squirrel's email

Like a pinball noob I got my topper yanked while moving my machine and the C4/C5 2 pin connector popped out the p3-roc board in the back box and now I have an empty pass through connector and a red and black wire dangling.
Can someone please eyeball this connection and tell me what color wire goes on C4 and C5 so I can fix it back up?
The P3-ROC is the one smack dab in the middle. And it’s actually the J2 as per the below image. That c4 c5 are right above the 2 pin.

Edit: thank you for the help.
