Cactus Canyon (Remake - Special Edition)
Chicago Gaming Co., 2021Quick question for owners. I know the beer mug is supposed to hit the glass when you make a hit on the target. However, mine has become progressively more violent and obnoxious. It hits so hard now that it actually can make your ears ring briefly! Anyone else experiencing this? It's just crazy loud now, especially during a multiball where it may get hit multiple times back to back.
"So as posted I ordered my se this past Monday, and I got word it will be delivered this… Monday! Is there side armor for this unit like I have on all my sterns or is the way it’s built in that retro Bally style make it impossible?"
Damn that's fast! Congrats. I ordered mine months ago and still haven't gotten it yet.
Quoted from cldgin2:So as posted I ordered my se this past Monday, and I got word it will be delivered this… Monday!
No offense to OP... this seems wrong in so many ways when others ordered from day one ...
Quoted from transprtr4u:No offense to OP... this seems wrong in so many ways when others ordered from day one ...
I got mine the same way over a month ago
Quoted from cldgin2:Is there side armor for this unit like I have on all my sterns or is the way it’s built in that retro Bally style make it impossible?
Not exactly sure what your question is but the side trim is attached with screws not double sided tape as with the original game.
Quoted from transprtr4u:No offense to OP... this seems wrong in so many ways when others ordered from day one ...
Understandable. Great news there are games available for those late deciders. That’s necessary if the game is going to be a hit. Also why it’s good to get games to operators early.
Perhaps disappointing if you ordered day one but it would be an unproductive logistical nightmare to try and fill orders in order of placement with a distributor model.
For every game I see delivered I’m happy for the owner and for me because it’s one step closer to my game being delivered. 
Quoted from transprtr4u:No offense to OP... this seems wrong in so many ways when others ordered from day one ...
I get that. And I feel very lucky. Its really simple and its just fat luck. My distributor had 5 on order to his location. He had four sold and one available. My timing was just pure luck. He told me, "I don't know when they will deliver yet, but I'll place a call and find out because its been awhile since we've heard" Then I got the call it was coming. Like I said, pure luck. Others who ordered from my distributor had most likely been waiting a hot minute.
Quoted from jfh:Not exactly sure what your question is but the side trim is attached with screws not double sided tape as with the original game.
I was curious of a side armor setup like the "lolly pops" on my most of my sterns, or something really cool like the dragon look ones for my Godzilla is all. The silver trim is cool, but does little to protect the cabinet from wear and tear near the flipper buttons. I know there's those "half moon" solutions or some sort of mylar, I just like the look of good n proper side armor.

Similar happened with me as well. I expressed interest and when he had an extra one available, he called me.
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Quick question for owners.
A tiny dab of clear silicone or hot glue ( or white ) on top of the foam on the mug will lower the smacking the glass noise.
LTG : )
Quoted from hiker2099:Wait, that mug is supposed to hit the glass?
I thought so. Like the leapers on Scared Stiff.
Quoted from hiker2099:I don't think mine is,
Might have something on the bottom of it's rod to limit travel.

If it’s like the frogs on Scared Stiff you can slide a mini post rubber over the metal stick on the underside of the playfield to limit travel.
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:#1529 arrived today! Built on April 21st. Set it up, leveled it, and it played pretty good right out of the box. I made a a few lighting adjustments, and went through all the menus to see the all the options. Definitely like the new menu setup. Played around 15 games and tweaked a few things. I thought the saloon popper was too strong because every time it kicked out, it would hit the right ramp post and kick back into the loop a little. I lowered that coil to -1. I thought my right flipper was a little out of alignment as well. Question here, what is the correct way to align the flippers? The alignment holes seem to be positioned so they are right above the top side of the flippers without the rubber. Is that correct? Also thought the right loop was a little inconsistent. Not sure how that shot should always play out. After making the “MARKSMAN” then “GUNSLINGER” then “GOOD SHOT”, shouldn’t the ball go into the left upper lanes area each time? Then if you complete the mode it turns into a pass though loop shot where you can combo that as many times as you can right? Sometimes a shot to that right loop kicked back into Bart awarding a hit, sometimes it hit the top gate and came back around the entry way. Not really consistent as if the ball guide was off a little. If I could change anything at this point it would be that. Otherwise, game plays great and is very fun! So happy with the experience so far. I don’t think it will be very difficult to beat though as compared to say Ruling the Universe or Battle for the Kingdom in default settings. I guess if I do, I can always adjust the difficulty in the settings but just hope it’s not too shallow. Either way, it’s a fun game to play and a good change up to all the super deep games out there.

That is 51 in 9 days or 40 games per week. Perhaps a sign that production is increasing.
Hopefully someone with a more recent build date will chime in so we can see if this is a trend.

Thanks!! Both solid suggestions

I've owned CCr SE a few weeks now, and it recently started intermittently buzzing while not being played. Every 2 minutes or so, the cabinet emits a loud buzz that lasts 4 - 5 seconds. This is my first pin, and up until a few days ago, it never buzzed while in standby mode. Any suggestions on what this could be?

Could be a ground loop in the outlet. Try running an extension from an outlet on another circuit. (Though if that’s it, I would have expected you would have heard it earlier).

Is it on a specific screen/animation when it happens?
Have you checked the backbox for any cables that might have shifted over speaker wires?

Mine arrives Tuesday now, Monday deliveries were booked. I will report serial and build date soon as it hits the door
I should also mention the packaging was top notch, they even show the pin/cabinet orientation on the outside of the box so you know where to use your dolly. Thanks to this I was able to get the game in the house while boxed easily and with minimum movement unprotected. The whole game was strapped down well and with high quality foam and cardboard protection. Maybe they finally got all their packing supplies to help get more machines out.
897BC1BB-BB14-4FE3-9BF4-37579F38EBE4 (resized).jpegOk, got all the peripherals....just need my LE 
Had the great fortune to play an LE at Pinfest today as well. Sadly, I found my time waiting in line to play the game was often 2-3x longer than the time I actually spent on 3 balls. Also didn't get a chance to hear much of anything given the Pinfest noise.
Not an ideal first date, but fun nonetheless. It's a beautiful pin and am even more excited to get one all to myself!
CCr (resized).jpgQuoted from jfh:The cup holder is very cool and well done. There will be an entry for it in FAQ modifications tomorrow.
Thank you for the kind words!
I have 8 of the original brown cup holders ready to ship. PM me if you want one. I also have 1 walnut ( lighter brown) available. And 1 olive green (someone custom ordered one for a POTC CE and I made a 2nd one). Custom colors are available.
E6716F36-670C-4A38-84F3-33AD5CA7F019 (resized).jpegI will also have a spotlight cover that should fit CC coming soon. I just need to verify fitment. Here it is installed on MM. If you are interested I’m forming a list for CC. They fit right over the existing spot light with a little 3m tape.

New gc score for me and beat high noon solidly! Got all the way back around but just needed one more Bart to try high noon again!
Bionic Bart is an amazing mode. I love the music.
Question: when the left Outlane is lit for gunfight, what happens on a drain there? (I went sdtm)

You get the ball back and automatically start a round of the gunfight.
I’m just absolutely drooling on the floor thinking of the code update and what they could do. This can be a top 10 game with a deeper code.
Anybody add a shaker to the SE ? Is it integrated a little or a lot and add in your opinion a good deal to your play experience ?
Quoted from NoQuarters:Anybody add a shaker to the SE ? Is it integrated a little or a lot and add in your opinion a good deal to your play experience ?
Yes, it's definitely worth it!

Check the backbox lighting settings. I noticed that with both of my AFMr machines.

Is CGC a 5/6/7 day work week because if they are just M-F then 57 in 5 days means we could be done with the 500 SE's in less than 3 weeks. Somewhere between the 17th and 24th of May. LE's at the beginning of June is looking very possible just like jfh said.
Quoted from NoQuarters:Anybody add a shaker to the SE ? Is it integrated a little or a lot and add in your opinion a good deal to your play experience ?
I generally detest shakers but it’s a must for Cactus Canyon. It’s incredibly well integrated.
CGC should have priced the SE+ to include a shaker because I can’t even imagine having the topper without the shaker motor.

Ok - thanks. I am usually ambivalent on shakers in general - so this is a good comment coming from you. Thanks for qualifying your response.

There have been games manufactured on Saturday so I’m assuming a 6 day work week and we are certainly seeing a noticeable uptick in the weekly rate.
A number of people have reported sharp edges in the playfield glass channel and some have accidentally cut their hands installing/removing their playfield glass. I don’t know if this is the case on all games but I’ve added an FAQ entry in the “My game is here!” section to cover the problem/solution.

I hope the wait for my SE is almost over! Hard to believe! Exciting!

me too !

It's definitely coming from the transformer. I opened a ticket with CGC. I'm assuming the part will need to be replaced.
Quoted from pinthewin:I opened a ticket with CGC.
I saw your ticket. The engineers will be looking into it.
In the mean time, maybe get an outlet checker. Then plug it into the wall outlet, and then the games service outlet. That will let you know each is wired right.

Quoted from jfh:I generally detest shakers but it’s a must for Cactus Canyon.
I’m so curious. Why? I see shakers as a must have especially for the price. I think shakers make a huge difference in terms of the feel and overall experience. I put them on every pin I can.
Quoted from Krupps4:I’m so curious. Why? I see shakers as a must have especially for the price. I think shakers make a huge difference in terms of the feel and overall experience.
I’m old school. I think shaker motors are a gimmick that generally add very little to the experience. On most other games it just feels to me that it’s used just for the sake of using it.
But the integration on Cactus Canyon, especially with the topper game play, is masterfully done. Perhaps it’s because the shaker mimics gun recoil but it just feels appropriate and real.
Quoted from NoQuarters:Anybody add a shaker to the SE ? Is it integrated a little or a lot and add in your opinion a good deal to your play experience ?
Yeah, I have a shaker in my Earthshaker (obviously!) but am not big on them in my other games, but tried one in my CCr SE, well worth it, nicely integrated into the game.
