Looks perfect to me too!

Copying another pinsider, cant remember his name, but I think they will look good on the flashers

I played an original today at PHOF. The remake captures the best of what B/W produced, but really takes the game to another level.

Where did you get these? Thanks,

Looking forward to your friends and family’s reaction to both of these games. They’re both instant classics.

Man, the cgc Remake just makes that original look kind of sad. Almost like a foreign knock off. Lol. That poor little orange dmd, and the guns look so bad comparatively. I can't imagine paying a premium for the original any longer.

So is everyone on this thread...
Poor man has been waiting forever for his CCR, also very happy for all those people getting their CCR.
Come on approval sticker.

One thing I haven’t seen discussed much here is the hardware platform. I know CGC completely redid the operating system for CC, which is awesome. Is the hardware in-house, or PROC? Is it a CANBUS architecture, like Stern? Or something a little less distributed? Pardon me for nerding out.

Edit: the FAQ tells all. Control logic and power in the backbox, coils and LEDs under the playfield. So more of a classic pinball hardware architecture.

I don’t know Richard, I’m seein a little open space next to your soon to be arriving CCr, what’s the next pin?

Has to be ToTANr

Flasher domes from pinball life

They come in 20’s and everyone needs one or two. Who wants to buy a strip then sell off singles?

Maybe it’s sad because it is stuck next to Thunderbirds.

You may like this Homepin factory tour from a YouTuber that does various electrical engineering projects. They check out that machine while there.

I might be getting carried away with this cactus theme. Just brought this home yesterday. Family members who was moving and not taking it. Hopefully it comes fully back to life, it has been neglected a bit from the looks.

The new SE topper?

He is going to need some mighty tall ceilings to pull that off!

It looks like someone left it near a window where it could see the Michigan Winter.

I'd buy a few

So would I.

Got to play one today at Yegpin courtesy of Tommy and Nitro Pinball.
Lots of fun great display and built like a tank, trying to the callouts over 200 other pins and people was tough ... sure it's great !
Thanks Nitro for bringing one to the show.

WAIT A SECOND!

So they can get them into a Canadian pinball show but Richard is still waiting!?!?!?

Was wondering the same thing when I saw it there?

Now are the pitchforks justified?!

They have been for awhile!

Let’s host a show for thread members at Richard’s house. Problem solved. What date works for you?

I have a CC Remake SE ordered and on the way this week and wanted to get moving on this leg protector issue. This is a first NIB for me, and I'm still a relative newbie.

Question: is the #6 1/2" hex screws we are talking about like these I can find at Lowe's, or is it something else. If so, any suggestions where to buy them (ACE, other hardware stores)?

Last thing, I saw someone post that I'd have to pre-drill to use the hex screws, do I have that right?

Thanks all

Take the legs to an engineering shop or the like and get them to press them open a degree or two, whole problem solved & no need to worry about putting all that extra stress on the leg bolts.

Should we show up with my truck tomorrow, tell Tommy this CCr is going to Richard's as a loaner, till he gets his own new in box? Also where's his sticker already!

So little follow up ...
This game cannot be sold , just for promotional use...
Guessing sticker #2 is still pending.

This should avoid sticker-gate!

But still don't get the delay.

Sorry Richard you know I have been a long term advocate of you getting your game ...

Haha! All good!

I knew already there are a few in Canada on display at dealers locations. Ryan told me that when he called me a while back.

I’m sure CGC is working on it!
Gona be great when I get it!

Richard

Maybe CGC should just order legs from Stern? I just picked up a new game, and one of my leg bolts was stripped so I had to rehab the threads. In doing so I noticed that the Stern legs avoid the decals by a good 1/8"

As long as Richard displays a CCr banner and invites a guest to demo the machine I’m sure we could clear the loopholes to qualify as “promotional use” in his home.

Just having fun here. But seriously...

I’m a little surprised how much I’ve had to solder on this game for being brand new. Multiple connections have had to be fixed on mine, the switch for the flipper underneath wasn’t done very well in the 1st place. I know there is maintenance with any game, but having connections break before even 300 total games is a little concerning.

Well find out who the supplier is ... its not rocket science....this is such a trivial issue thats causing unnecessary drama for CGC

absolutely agree
1) buy a new set of legs see if it solves the problem , cost less than a dinner
2) use a set you already have from another machine
3) put them on a rock and hit them with a sledge hammer
3) take a set off another machine
4) use any of the 500 different methods available to solve the problem and stop whining people

Listen I get your roll is to defend CGC on every single issue so you don't piss off your "source" as for some reason u think your getting inside information? This particular one is pretty simple to figure out, and to be clear this isn't my issue as I won't get my LE until probably Q1 2023 so I really have no horse in this race except I'd like to hear from CGC that they've resolved, and all the customers who are affected taken care of.

Bad luck I guess. I had 1500 plays on my Cactus and never needed to solder even one connection anywhere.

Haven’t read back more than a couple of pages……….. any LE updates?

Got the drill and dremel out today, don't think I'll need to glue, nice tight fit

Once again you jump to conclusions, and are entirely wrong in your assumptions. Do I think CGC is doing nothing? Absolutely not I assume they've come up with some sort of plan or possibly plans to address this issue. I don't have those answers (not my responsibility), but clearly CGC could easily communicate the action plan to distributors and then to customers. If that means it's another 6 month delay then so be it at least customers know, and can plan accordingly. I have a lot of games, and an empty spot waiting to be filled, which is for CCRLE, but may get something else in the interim if its gonna be another 6-12 months. Instead what they do is remain silent and leave everyone in the dark, which will always be mind boggling to me so I just vent my frustration here so I can irritate u I've been a customer since the MMRLE release, which is what 8+ years, and its always been the same thing (yea I know I keep coming back). How many months ago did u say LE's would start being delivered? I was the one saying u were smoking crack, and it appears I was right.

Sometimes the best plan is to follow your instinct. Don’t let a delay rob you of your plans and enjoyments. Fill that spot with another pin and adjust your plan as options open up. You say you have lots of games, what’s the rush for another one? Only you know that answer so quench that desire and fill that empty space with something else.
