Quoted from ASAC_Schrader:
Where did you get the kit?

I built mine out of spare parts, but needed a shiney new knocker plate.

I bought the cable here on pinside as I was too lazy to make one.

PPS has all the parts at a good price:

https://www.planetarypinball.com/pinball-CBL-KNOCKER

https://www.planetarypinball.com/pinball-01-7525

The knocker cable is also sold here in this thread by pinsider mycarlooksfast

If you dont have them, you need at least 5 of these:

The screws go in easily, you dont even need a screw gun. Just a 1/4" nut driver will do it.

Knocker installed!
It took all of 5 mins to install.
Use 3/8" gold screws.
The holes are already there!
There is NO software to enable (though it says its diabled), IT JUST WORKS!
Turn off the FAKE knocker sound in the menus...
Does it sound WAY better, YES!
Is it worth it? YES!

Agreed on all fronts, I did mine this week as well. So awesome.

Wasn't there also some issues with Lockdown bars? I vaguely remember some peoples lockdown bars being sharp that they were getting their hand cut when they'd try to nudge.
I know one of the CCr's on location near me freaks me out because of how sharp it is.

Definitely sliced the hell out of my finger today because of a sharp edge on my SE. Went to smack the side of the machine and missed. My ring finger ran along the lower edge resulting in needing 6 stitches. Thought it was sharp when I got it a couple months ago. Guess I can say I've poured both blood and sweat into this hobby now!

Where exactly on the machine? Lower edge of the lock down bar? Not something I would like to happen to anyone.

Yep lower edge right above the coin door (red line in the photo). Going to get a sanding stick to file it down. Didn't have an issue with the side rail channels but this definitely got me good.

Oof, I'm sorry you had to experience that. That certainly is not something you expect to occur when playing around of pinball.

It might be worth reaching out to CGC before you sand it down as it might help them with their QC if they have an example of what to look out for in order to improve their quality process in hopes that no one else experiences the same problem.

Plus, at the very least, I'd hope they'd send you a new one for your troubles.

I'll give that a try. I am not the original owner on it so that could impact things. Build Date was April 2022. I'll update once I hear from them.

Any advice for installing the brian Allen translite? This thing won’t go in flat. Everytime I put a side piece on, the middle bubbles inward.

I taped it with some clear removable tape along the edges from the back, still has some very slight cave-ins but looks perfect with the lights on. I couldn’t get it to sit flat for the life of me without the tape.

Why? It's not a warranty claim, they made a product that caused physical harm, CGC now has a liability issue. If they don't want to respond it something you could take to small claims court. You would think they would be falling all over themselves to make this right.

Maybe, but its the second owner.

All of you pinside attorneys would have to check on the liability of used goods.

These are insipid questions for the judges and juries here on pinside just to inflame the public I think.

But please carry on...

Or maybe run a little Emory cloth across the sharp edge and solve the problem as noted in this and other threads from other games...

Im just not "buying in" to the "Land of litigation" America has become.

To be honest, I'm not really all that concerned about the injury or liability of it at the moment. It was a freak thing that should heal just fine but yea that edge shouldn't be that sharp. Fingers crossed they'll replace it but if not I'll file it down. If that doesn't work I'm just going to buy a new one for it.

It’s called holding people accountable. Give the company the chance to make it right. Can it be fixed at home by the end user? - Sure. But CGC should be made aware to prevent further issues. Glad they gave Deegs a solution. It’s not the first time we’ve heard of cuts from this machine, however. Last thing I want is my guests or my 4 year old needing six stitches when they hang out in my game room.

That translite is sick, so much better than the original. Mine is kinda weird in the middle, it's not noticeable enough to concern me on location. Machine is still earning hard a year and a half later.

I’ve not been around for a while and in that time have possibly gotten out of control making modifications to my CCR. I’ve shared several of the mods in the past, but now that I’m done, (other than maybe a little cleanup), I thought I would put them all in a single video to make them easier to share. Nothing I added was purchased as an accessory specifically made for the game.

What you’ll see in the video:
A gold (solid pyrite) shooter knob. (Had to stick a red spring in there because of the weight and I had a hell of a time drilling a hole in that pyrite.)
Snakes on the flippers.
Several spot lights.
Train tracks and a trestle.
A little depot to cover the tacky original one on the left side of the tracks. (I bought a cheap model and ignored the assembly instructions.)
A train tunnel over the train where it starts. HO scale.
A canoe with Bart and Polly in it over the waterfall ramp that rocks when a ball goes by.
A spotlight with a color changing bulb comes on and flashes on the canoe when it moves
I made green cactus flasher covers to replace the red flasher domes.
I made a mine cart for on top of the mine using parts from the same model I used for the depot.
Added red lights to the ends of the guns on the apron that flash with the flashers for gun fights.
The topper you’re familiar with, (I guess it's the one accessory I did buy), but I printed out a western town and taped it to the back because the plexiglass was clear and it looked unfinished. (I’d love to have it, but couldn’t justify over a $1,000 to get a machine with the official topper.)
Of course, there’s the obligatory custom logo. (Took a selfie holding my Pieta six shooter and cartoonized it.)

No doubt you’ll like some mods better than others and possibly dislike a few and that’s fine. After playing the games my favorite thing is working on them and making little tweaks. I used motors from cheap disco lights to make rotating saucers for my Revenge From Mars and used another one to rock the CCR canoe. Anyway, I’d love to hear thoughts on the tweaks.

Still waiting on my ccr Le but saw your post i have an original MMR le that i ordered in stainless durring the first run of Mmr that has that same razor edge I have cut my self removing it and was going to sand it down just never got around to it but people with stainless CGC games should be aware of the possibility of a sharp edge under the lockdown this is not the case with powder coated AFmr le or MBr le both of which i own and can verify

I would guess another 5 months before the LEs are finished - and then Pulp Fiction starts at some point too.

I don't see them making many SE+ games to be honest - certainly not the 1250 number that's been floated.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade or single anyone out.

But don't a decent portion of the LE's go over sea's for non-USA LE's, it's nearing the 700's I'd be a little worried. Maybe LTG might be able to shed some light on it.

Legitimate question. Call CGC directly and ask. This is a question for the manufacturer, not the distributor, dealer, reseller, NIB flipper, etc. Get an email in writing. Don't rely on pinside hearsay. Believe me I know. For that kind of money...
