That looks great! My main beef with my SE is the chrome. Yours looks way better, and I know it looks way better in person. I will go with a more rust color (if I don’t sell/trade for an LE spot-anyone out there?), but I know you had spare extra powder-I think it’s a great look. Good job

My bad...your probably correct

I'm thinking about grabbing an armless CC topper and making it into an armless Monty Python Knight topper for MM

Perfect..if I was a distributor I would want to have plenty of product to sell when the LE’s hit the line. Whatever number of SE’s CGC initially quoted they were going to produce goes out the window when the true demand is realized. Fill all the initial SE orders then move to the next phase. I don’t see why they would do it any other way. (Other than to make a few people “happy”, which is unlikely to happen regardless).

Now that is some funny shit.

NO !

I may have shared this article from Pinball News before, but here it is again. It's an awesome look into the history of Churchill Cabinets and Bally Williams. Back in the day and now. Very interesting read.

Late response here from a newcomer. @polishedball, I think this sculpt looks awesome. Is this something you’d be willing to sell, either via mail or on ThingiVerse? I can have my artist friend paint it for me.

BTW I drank a beer that size (32 ounces) last night.

I’ll be on the hunt for it then. It’s perfect for that spot IMHO

Thanks. Here is a better idea of what it looks like up close:

I found the STL https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-jalissa-by-female-miniatures-195305

Got My CCr SE the other day and went to change the translite to the alternate one and my glass shattered. I paid $70 to have a tempered glass made/shipped and it isn't the right size. Before I guess again at the actual size, is there anyone that knows the exact measurement of a CCr SE back glass? I looked on the Planetary Pinball website, but couldn't find a replacement glass and also looked (briefly) online for Pinball Back glass, but didn't find any links...maybe someone knows who stocks the right size glass that I can order.
Thanks,

Oh man, sorry to hear.

Maybe this one ?

CCr SE
</blockquote

never mind ..... super tired

YIKES!

We didn't have figures like those when I was a kid!

It's enough to make my little green army man stand at attention!

He even dropped his grenade!

No, thanks for the help but that one is 27" wide x 23-1/2" tall and the one on the this game is going to be more like 27 x 19.

It's tempered glass, so I can't buy a piece that might be too big and cut it down...it has to be cut and then heat treated to make it tempered.

Fortunately when the original exploded it was on the ground so I didn't end up with a million pieces on top of the playfield.

Thanks

Contact CGC directly and maybe they will sell a replacement glass?

CGC doesn't do parts sales... they push you off to PPS, etc.

Everyone else can run CGC, must’ve been my turn. My head was getting too big Lloyd. Thanks for grounding me amigo.

More like Stratego I’d think. Dammit. There I go again!

Thanks. I sent them an email, but I think Flynnibus is correct as I had to order the shaker motor from Planetary pinball

Should be standard:

27" x 18 7 /8" x 1/8" thick

Clear tempered.

NO-LOGO

sanded edges

I buy it from my local glass company and have bought many at this size.

Fits perfectly.

Shop around a lot.

The place that has the tempering oven is the cheapest

No, you maybe just didn't have any idea of what the inside of that building looks like. Assembly line. Parts storage, high tech area, partially assembled games, area to box games and get ready for shipping, area for video games, area for making playfields, area for making cabinets, area for raw materials.

If you ever get a chance for a tour of the factory, do it. After so many years they kind of use space wisely and not an easy task to make changes that don't impact a bunch of other things.

That works too.

Thank you for being understanding my friend !

LTG : )

Any rumours or news about the famous Lyman code?

Nothing new. Same as what is on the FAQ.

LTG : )

I put protectors on and they just dented the decals out further. Then tried the machine head screw and added 3 washers to boss it out a bit more, but it still touches at the top of the leg. I think this will work perfectly, but just sold my se, waiting for our le to arrive.

20220722_093010 (resized).jpg

Yeah I was going to post that using plastic leg protectors *could* potentially amplify the spacing problem. I got to mine, with the hex-screw fix, just in time; just a few tiny wrinkles in the artwork, but still out of sight (within the leg section). This ! Should be put in the FAQ, or a bulletin from CGC or pinside, NOT to try and fix this problem with plastic cab protectors. Use the hex screw fix, at the least.

Maybe add a couple washers under the screw head as needed.

I added 3 small washers under the heads, it helped, but still tight on the top of the leg. I think by shaping the protector to match the factory protector should solve the problem. Hoping so,,,

why hasn't anyone just stacked the metal protectors? Seems the most direct approach. Stack to get flat uniform stand-off... and be done with it.

So I just got to my motel in Wisconsin Dells that I've been playing CGC games for 3 years and to my surprise the legs are digging in. Everyone assured me this was a new problem when I posted that I was disappointed nobody noticed on the other games. What a joke!!! Pathetic..

Mantis has wider protectors that go outside the leg.

https://mantispinball.com/product/misc-leg-protector-overlap/

These might help, but the leg might smash them too and still hurt the cabinet.

I think the screws and washers has the most merit right now.

Love how the pinside community tries to resolve this is issue but the company holding thousands and thousands of deposit dollars is not heard from ...

A mantis protector few mm thicker CGC version will solve problem.

https://mantispinball.com/product/misc-leg-protector-overlap/

Plastic protector on top of this will cover any blemish and if installed correctly no further damage will occur.

Flame suit on for the flack I am about to cop from those already affected

I agree with others and hope CGC will advise their preferred resolution soon.

They don't feel its necessary to communicate to buyers...apparently its too much effort

Hey Jim,

It will work 100% if CGC make a custom protector 2-3mm thicker.

A standard mantis with plastic protector (correctly installed) will also work.

Yes they do. And when it's all sorted out and what to do about it. You'll hear from them.

There could be a lot involved. Manufacturing defect - can who made the legs fix it. Who sold the legs ? CGC bought the legs.

With so many involved this isn't an over night fix.

Right now the main thing is open a ticket so CGC can get in touch with you when the time comes.

LTG : )

Just for the record the Bally/Williams leg design was flawed from the get go.

It is clear that CGC's supplier is using same spec'd die.

Cost effective mitigation is to install a thicker metal spacer and/or plastic protector.

Again metal would be my preference. Plastic will work though same as what Hayfarmer pictured.

These B/W legs go to way back, I had to install plastic protector on my Indy restore. photo below dates back to 26/01/2010.
The black plastic protectors worked fine to cover slight creasing of decals that were installed.

Of course the initial distress of all that hard work was painful, but I got over it.
Was no big deal, end result was fine.

I get it....it wasn't yesterday....it was 3 weeks ago

And in 3 weeks it will be 6 weeks ago.

We'll know when we know.

In non-leg news, I played a ton of Cactus Canyon last night at My Parent’s Basement in Decatur (thx @atlpb). I’m even more convinced that I made the right decision switching from Godzilla to CC SE+. The quality is just so good, and I think even my 82-year-old dad would enjoy it (he won’t play anything made after 1979 when he comes over). I’m going to put RFM and CC next to each other in the gameroom so I can tell the story of how everyone was pulled off of CC to go work on “the future of pinball”, RFM. It’s one of the greatest stories in pinball.

Rearranged the pin section last night, the CCr will fit nicely to the left of Godzilla.

Wife thought it looked crowded, but it looks perfect to me! (She is warming up to it )

Can’t wait.

I hope everyone is enjoying their games!
