Cactus Canyon (Remake - Special Edition)
Chicago Gaming Co., 2021It appears my game did not come from the factory with the finishing screw on top of the hexagonal post near Bart (see photo). I just noticed this after a few months of ownership. Anyone know the correct size and style screw that belongs in that spot? Many thanks.

I should have a plastic disc on top of that post possibly.
The originals had one...
Looks like CGC has blown through most of the original SE buyers as many distributors have them in stock now.

That is the way it is. Nothing goes there.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ballderdash:Q: What’s the hold up on the LE and SE+?
A: Parts for the toppers
Q: Can’t you ship the toppers separately?
A: No
Hehe... I’m impatiently waiting for my SE+ with a topper! Lol.
[quoted image]
Just because someone at CGC said they were waiting on topper parts doesn't mean they're not waiting on other parts as well. My guess is its not just the topper

I’ll take one SE then please and an invoice for my separate shipping charges to be billed when the topper is ready. Plenty of SE’s coming off the line. My distributor has them in stock also.

I get it, but not sure CGC will do that? My guess is they're probably waiting on topper, and other LE specific parts as well i.e. apron, ect....
Thanks Lloyd! I just found it odd that there was nothing "finishing off" the top of the post so thanks for confirming that I'm not missing anything!
I have serial number 1384 (mid March build). Great game.... pulled it in Friday because we are shuffling stuff around with the stern leaderboards coming out. It’ll go back out on location but we are having fun with it!
One thing I noticed... looks like they messed up the wiring on jackpot and combo lights on the left ramp. How do I fix this LOL.... I guess I could flip the lamp board but the board is mounted the right way... just the actual lights are reversed

Interesting! I'll check this on my machine right now............ hmmm glad I checked. Mine are all in the correct spot. But #84 bad guy arrow is inop. I'll have to start a ticket. Luckily that lamp is on a tiny board that screws into the main board.

Make sure the screws are tight on the lamp board. I had one with a loose screw that made it intermittent.
How is the mine supposed to move ? At periods during the game mine is almost closed and will move upwards after the shot it is made sometimes

I looked back at footage when I first powered on the machine and it was out then.
Does anyone else have this what appears to be a drip stain on the front of this cabinet. It looks like a run on some sort from the start button down to the bottom of the cabinet in between the leg and the lizard. It’s not a scratch. It’s entirely smooth to the touch. I’ve tried soap and water, doesn’t wash off. Appears to be a stain on the decal. Just wondering if anyone has a similar issue.

Your decal also looks like it’s bubbling from the leg. Is CGC not installing those metal or plastic spacers so the legs aren’t so tight to the cabinet?

Mine has metal protectors
So I checked mine after the comment on the metal leg protectors, which mine has from factory and there were 3 cuts in the cabinet art from the legs. I applied felt to the leg and to the metal protector and it moved the leg far enough that they no longer touch the cabinet.
No stains on mine and that's a bummer yours is on the front of the machine.

I agree about the bubbling but does anyone have the staining issue?

Yup mine too unfortunately. I just added felt myself like you suggested to keep from getting worse but unfortunately the damage was already done.

So the legs are digging into the decal even with the protector?
I've seen that with plastic leg protectors but not the metal ones. Can you tell if the metal protector has sunk into the wood a bit?

Replace the thin CGC leg protectors with the mantis ones.
They are twice as thick.
Maybe order them before you get your game.
I stock them in my shop for resto's

Yup Houston we definitely have a problem here atleast 3 of my legs are touching not wrinkling yet and can't tell if it's cut but this is definitely an issue. How was this not noticed on other CGC games? I mean this is why I usually don't do 1st runs but wtf
Quoted from MacGruber:How was this not noticed on other CGC games?
I have had all three and still have Medieval Madness. Did not have this issue on any of them. Maybe a different part supplier?
HEP pointed this replacement leg issue out in his thread and to prevent damage used the thicker Mantis leg protectors if I remember correctly.
Quoted from jchristian11:HEP pointed this replacement leg issue out in his thread and to prevent damage used the thicker Mantis leg protectors if I remember correctly.
I remembered incorrectly. HEP used a thicker screw head to attach the protector to stand-off the legs from the cabinet. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/hep-this-week-9-17-18/page/223#post-6933815

Good to know. I’ll add some felt as well. Before I set my game up.
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:Good to know. I’ll add some felt as well. Before I set my game up.
Yeah all 4 of my legs caused damage. I did felt temporary until my mantis protectors come in.
Definitely disappointing but it is what it is now. Glad the LE owners know now and hopefully CGC makes part changes to prevent this!

Not sure this is my first CGC so I can't compare but I would have a closer look if I were you I will say the matel bracket is super thin compared to my Sterns. Not good at all I've only had this on legs for 37 plays in a month!

When I sold my AFM and MB there was no damage. Also, this would have been posted in those threads too. Unfortunately this is a new problem.

Probably right that makes sense stupid things happen when you try to save a buck!
Quoted from gjm7777:Would it just make sense to proactively trace just behind the legs with an x-acto knife?
I could do that on my front decals where it touched and cut in if it shows up but wouldn't solve the problem then it would cut into the cabinet. It dug into the bottom of the back of the cabinet with no decal there
Quoted from MacGruber:Probably right that makes sense stupid things happen when you try to save a buck!
Odd that is issue is just now popping up. I wonder if something has changed with the supplier. Anyone with this issue should open a ticket with CGC and see what they say.

I opened a ticket this afternoon. I’ll report back what they say.

Please do. Sorry you are dealing with this.
Spooky had the cabinet wrinkling problem on Rick and Morty. They also have metal protectors but the problem arouse because the legs were bent in just a tad extra. Maybe this is what's going on with Chicago Gaming (legs).

Shoot, can you post a link to the product?
Thanks
Richard
I use the Stern metal leg protectors on all my 90's Bally/Williams games with no problems.
Just curious on these Mantis leg protectors, if they are even THICKER than the Stern ones. Does anybody have BOTH styles to compare the thickness? PLEASE let me know. THANKS!
Dan

One of the solutions for R&M was to put two metal protectors on each leg because they are so thin.
If the leg touches the cabinet, wrinkles will eventually appear.

This is true if you have extra sets of the thin ones in your tool box.
But if you have to order them, just get the Mantis ones. And get a couple sets for future use.
