Quoted from P1nhead:No t nut (if wood bb) or threaded insert (if metal bb)?
It looks like the wms knocker kit comes with mache screws instead of wood.

What ltg says. If #6 ever tears out, you still have a chance to use #8.

Thanks!
Every CGC game needs a knocker with quality wiring harness (IDC be damned)! I've gotten my turnaround time pretty much next day shipping now.
Quoted from PDXFlipper:Having a weird issue with my cactus canyon. The game will intermittently prematurely end the game. The ball will go down the trough, adds up the scores and then the game seems to struggle to push a single ball out, usually pushing out two or three balls at a time. I checked all the connections and I saw the plug to the board that is connected to the trough slightly loose, rectified that, but this issue is still occurring. Have about 80 plays on the game.  Anyone else?
I have this same issue with a location game. Verified that the plunger is not mounted too high or interfering with balls in the trough. Any ideas would be welcome. Makes it hard to use for league and tournament play.
Quoted from knockerlover:Any ideas would be welcome.
Balls magnetized and not rolling down the ball trough right ? Assuming the ball trough is clean and not obstructions.

What is everyone setting their flipper strength to on CCr?
Ryan recommended to me one time to set MBr at +2 and AFMr at -1 , I I find that to be perfect.
Thanks

Has your game been delivered yet? I feel like there should be pictures if it has

It’s a good thought. I verified the balls aren’t magnetized. I was able to observe the trough 4 opto bouncing when creating some playfield vibrations with my fist. I tightened the transmit side of the trough board and it seems to have fixed that to where I at least can’t make the switch bounce anymore. Will try that for a while and see how it does.

Did you check the FAQ before asking this question?

I have mine at +2. Really changed the game once I adjusted the strength. Made the left and right ramp shots much easier.
Quoted from J_Striker:Did you check the FAQ before asking this question?
Lol.
I did. Thanks for asking. 
Was reworking some things and figured someone was going to ask for font information so I decided to go first. Now it’s there.

YES! I love this simple bit of plastic. I used it with great success on The Champion Pub. And I will get one for my CCr as soon as I get a Marco order together (might be awhile though).

Are there any downsides to turning up the flipper strength?
Quoted from LingBot:Are there any downsides to turning up the flipper strength?
More chance of airballs, dimples, broken plastics - just ensure the game plays smooth, if not then dial it back down.
Quoted from LingBot:Are there any downsides to turning up the flipper strength?
Could be an upside or downside depending on your skill level, but it will make the game easier. Also the ball will be hitting everything with more force. It's not gonna destroy your game if you are worried about that.
I turned mine up 2 points as well. I did it very shortly after receiving my game roughly 6 months ago. Another issue I encountered (even before turning them up), was flipper fade. Once you get a good 30 minute game going, or have multiple people playing, the flippers can lose strength pretty quickly. PinMonk fans helped out immensely. I highly recommend them on this title.

Spoke to the distro yesterday. It's not just Richard and his SE now. It's the LEs as well. CGC will not ship games to Canada until they get the certification approval thing. It's related to something they changed in the power supply(compared to previous games) or something to that effect.
No point incomplaining to the distributor as they can't do anything about it. They are as frustrated as all of us are.

Yes. They can’t ship any games in so far.

flipper fade on my CC SE is no where near as bad as my MMrLE..ordered the pinmonk system for that one..I feel that all new pins (Stern included) NEED cooling fans on their flipper coils... MM is basically not very enjoyable after 20-30 minutes of continuous play..CC is not nearly as bad.

I thought once the LEs were starting to be built, then inspections could be done for I'm assuming CSA, then SEs could start to ship to Canada.
Ok now that LE’s are shipping I hope CGC is concentrating on the extended code. Give me some last Lyman magic.

I'm really looking forward to hearing all the original callouts that never made it into the original game.

You realize one has nothing to do with the other, right? CGC has multiple projects underway none of which have any impact on the production line. It’s not like Josh, Sam and the software team paused their work to go help box up games for shipping …

Man. You are just so negative, rude, and depressing sometimes. Was this post really necessary? The guy is just excited and hopefully something is happening with the code.
I like coming to this thread for updates, but I dread seeing posts from you.
Hate to say it, but this thread would be way more enjoyable if you’d be a bit nicer.
Maybe you could hop off the computer and go run to the mall. You could go tell all the little kids that Santa isn’t real…seems right up your alley.
Quoted from NightTrain:negative, rude and depressing
That seems to sum up your post rather well. 
If you look through this forum you will see many instances where people have made assumptions not based in fact. The inference that CGC can now focus on the upgrade kit because the LEs are shipping implies a serial process. That’s incorrect and could lead to some bad assumptions.

Jeez...you did it again.
Quoted from alveolus:So per pps they have not received any machines beyond the initial small batch. This would seem to indicate that actual production is stalled.
Based on what? It’s not like PPS gets all their games first and then other distributors get theirs. PPS, like other large distributors, gets/will get their games in batches.
If we have evidence that no other distributor have batches scheduled, I would agree with you. But we don’t.

Your toxic and scenile dude. I never assumed shit, just wanting or imagining or hoping. Relax bro, get off Pinside for a while and go play your 100 machines or whatever it is you have.

An email just went out from PPS with an update that’s probably what he is referring to…

I presumed his post referred to a note. I was questioning the assumption that production was stalled.
Did the note from PPS mention a production delay?

Should we start running all posts through you before posting? Don't want any bad assumptions getting in here.

I got the PPS email as well. Reading between the lines it appears CGC isn't pumping out these games very fast (if at all). PPS said they received an initial allocation, but basically have no idea when the balance of their orders will be fulfilled. They did say it would probably be at least another 6 months or longer....

It is clear from the email that pps does not believe CGC is currently shipping games. It is strange to me that you seem so resistant to common sense conclusions.
Why did I have to see what invisiglass or whatever it is called looks like on a machine this past weekend, now I really want to add it. I am curious though if playing with invisiglass messes with you when you go on location to play. thoughts

It’s never been an issue for me.

I’m simply disappointed that there are so many willing to assume the worst when there are not enough facts to support a particular conclusion.
Could it be true based on what has been reported? Of course. But “not currently shipping games to PPS” <> “not shipping games”.

Op has put a lot of time in this forum and the famous FAQ and I appreciate all the hard work. The reality is he hasn’t changed and I keep seeing condescending posts like “if you read the faq you would know… etc” along with the apologist comments. Can a new CCR owners club be started? I’m certainly not up to the task so maybe we’re stuck here lol. Sorry Op

I think the utility of anti-reflective glass is situation-dependent. I only have one machine in my game room with a noticeable glare issue. The rest of my machines are fine with the lighting I have. A lot cheaper, too.

Hmm. Making assumptions without evidence is fine for Internet forum discussions. This isn’t a court of law or peer-reviewed science.
Quoted from alveolus:So per pps they have not received any machines beyond the initial small batch. This would seem to indicate that actual production is stalled. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
I stated earlier that CGC wouldn’t be shipping games until 2023 and got blasted when they shipped 20+ games in December. Technically, I guess I was wrong but really was I wrong? At least my guarantee on TZ being the next CGC game is gaining strength.

Agree with jchristian11 - never been an issue.
One thing to consider is how much light is there in either location. The darker it is, the less difference there is. Most locations I play at have lower light levels than what I generally play under at home. I don’t ever recall thinking “oh what a difference from home; I can’t see to make the shot”. And I’m going to play an order of magnitude more games at home than on location.
I have Invisiglass, Stern HD, and PDI at home. My impression is that PDI is the best of the three though maybe not better enough for the cost premium. If I didn’t already have a sheet of PDI waiting for the game I’d be fine with any of the others.
