No longer need to see nedry post ever again. Ignored.

My SE is sitting in the warehouse right now. Was going to pick it up tomorrow but the only bad weather day for the week is tomorrow. Have to wait another week. I’ve worked with Kayla both times. Also very good.

In the club.

I love the art! I don't really care for the MM or AFM versions personally but I like the CC one. The FT one also looks awesome if I still had my FT. Picked up the acryllic translite and side art.

Saw these in person at Pintastic. They really pop when back lit.

On my phone I could never save Polly. I done it a bunch of times on the actual game.

Just installed 17 of 150 in my machine. Looks great.

Yes the very tip of the C is under the trim piece. The light tub behind it also does prevent lighting the edge of the art work as well. The art work on the acrylic does go right to the edge so it’s unavoidable. It doesn’t really bother me. I think it still looks amazing.

The trim piece is shorter than the seating surface of the light tub. You would be in the same boat with the translite I think.

The game has played almost flawlessly so far. I’ve only experienced a stuck closed switch on the beer mug shot. Pulled the switch and just bent it with my finger away a little bit. Playing perfect ever since. What’s a respectable beer mug shot champion score anyway? My wife has 221. I had 64 before she over took me. She crushes me on this game. This is the only game I’m not the GC on. She has 142 mill. My best is 137 mill.

Welcome to the club! We love ours.

Both keys tie-wrapped to the shooter rod are coin door keys and the keys hanging from the hook inside the coin door are back box keys. Confirmed. I haven’t cracked the bag on the manual yet because I haven’t had any problems and the menu is pretty self explanatory.

Shaker adjustments? Do I have to enable it?

I have installed a shaker. Where are the adjustments for it?

I’m just not seeing it anywhere.

Thank you

I don't know if this is new but there is a drain hole protector as well. I happened to notice that the other day.

Sometimes the ball comes out too forcefully and jumps back into the trough. I'm considering knocking the coil power down a little to see if it stops doing that. But I've never seen this. I'm hyper sensitive to it because of the problem I had on my Halloween.

I went in dry. Wet method unnecessary. The are repositionable. They went in easy. The hinge bolt hole is small. I recommend not removing the eyelet. I did on the first one and was able to recover and get it back in. Used a scalpel to make my own hole to put the hardware back in.

I picked up my game from Automated. Did not come on a pallet. Talking to the guys they said a bunch arrived on one big pallet. No issues when I got it home the game was spotless. Sorry this happened to you. I've been lucky out of 3 NIB pins, never had a scratch.

I agree my MMr and AFMr are set to a much lower volume but are way louder. I don't know what the fix could be.

You have to adjust the volume very high to be able to hear it. Where as I set MMr, AFMr to the minimum (8) and its almost too loud. I have the minimum volume option set so I can go below 8. If I set my volume high on MMr, AFMr its way too loud to tolerate. You can't go way too loud to tolerate on CCr. I'm as high as I can go on CCr and it's not quite loud enough. I could go higher but it starts to sound distorted.

Has anyone figured out the sound issue some people have? Where I have the volume way up just to hear it?

I also don't have the MMr topper or the AFMr topper. I'm able to enjoy the game just fine. I have a topper on Halloween but don't have much time to look up at the screen let alone the topper.

Finally completed High Noon for the first time! Absolutely cool. Love how the flippers go dead once completed.

I received Halloween before CCr and that game came with felt protectors in the box so I ordered a set from Marco for when CCr arrived. So I’m not having this issue. As far as the CGC remakes over originals. This is a hotly debated thing. I own 3 remakes and am completely happy with all 3. Some hardcore tournament players will argue the originals shoot better etc. I’m ok at pinball, not great. I don’t see these issues some are able to point out and quantify. I have no problem making any shots in any of my games. The flippers feel snappy to me. If in 20 years I burn something up I am unable to solder myself I’m sure there will be a solution for fixes in the future. I’m just not paying 15 to 20k for an original just so I can say I own an original. We play ours all the time. I’ve actually played all 3 in the original form. Usually they were beat so I was unable to enjoy the greatness that might have been when they were factory fresh.

So many posts I thought maybe the new DLC software update was available.

That mantis protector is so thick you are going to need longer leg bolts.

Topper is definitely cool. Got to play topper mode at Pintastic. Nice break from the action. Would have loved to get an LE but just sold out too quickly and I wasn’t paying 1250 just for a topper. My other CGCs don’t have toppers either so I’ve already forgotten about it. Playing the snot out of our game. Thoroughly happy with it as is. Added the alternative art because I was never a fan of the original translite.

I have this issue but I'm too stupid to figure out how to create a ticket. Same as others. I have MMr, and AFMr. Both set to between 6 and 8. CCr is set to 20ish to be able to hear it and not have distortion. Otherwise I love the game. It's the only game my wife wants to play now. I've checked connections, inspected wiring on the speakers etc. don't see anything obvious.

We love ours. Not selling anytime soon. Achieved high noon once and completed it. Still fun. We play it more than our other games still. It’s the only game my wife plays right now. Ours hasn’t needed anything more than a switch adjustment since we’ve had it. We are eagerly awaiting the upgrade kit.

Mine is this way also. Don't know how to make a support ticket. Anyone have a link? Didn't see it in the FAQ.

Whatever it is, we are excited to get it. We are still loving the game in its current form.

If you are not an owner or have one on order, why do you feel you need to post in the owners thread? Not a moderator but we can all just ignore you.

I’m currently having this same issue

This is the downside of having one gigantic board under the playfield. Lose one component and you are likely f-ed.

I work in troubleshooting and maintenance and I agree intermittent is the hardest to solve if it doesn’t recur. My sound issue doesn’t go away. It’s on all the time.

I’m not even sure if there is a separate sound board. I haven’t dug into it I just haven’t had time.

I've tried numerous times to enter a ticket. My password doesn't work. I've tried forgot my password and it never sends me an email. I try signing up with a new account and it says email already been used. So I have the sound issue everybody talks about but can't report it to CGC. I'm not dumping on the game or CGC. They are mostly bullet proof. My other remakes are error free. Actually never had a problem. MMr I had a troll screw get loose and damsel switch screw fell out and wouldn't register, just vibrated loose. Easily just put back together. CCr right now has the sound issue and intermittently it registers the skill shot before the ball gets to the lasso. The sound works but the quality is poor and I have to crank it up much higher than my other remakes to hear it.

JP3 jumper position. Speakers are connected through the bottom right connector.

I’ll check these out tomorrow. Would you mind sharing your settings?

Unfortunately you have to pull 2 ramps to get to it. Not sure if it’s wired NO or NC. The premature trigger leads me to believe it’s NC and goes “open” when the ball passes by. In that scenario it would make sense if you had a cold or cracked solder joint.

The skillshot issue on my game is definitely related to the switch. Put it in switch test and wiggled that right lower ramp side to side and the switch was changing state like crazy. Took a pencil and just pushed the wires forward a little bit. Now I can’t get the switch to change state while wiggling the ramp. Played several test games and the anomaly has not recurred. Not sure why that helped, but it did.

Checked sound adjustments and it appears that you only have volume and sub to tweeter fade. I gave it a little less bass but the volume is still much lower than MMr, AFMr. If I put all 3 on 8, I can barely hear CCr. I understand that these have different hardware. What do other owners have their volume set to? To make it sound like MMr, AFMr volume level I need to be on 21. Is this just the way it is? Or is this a problem?

I have reseat the J6 connector and inspected the pins. Everything looks normal. It would be nice to get a new main control board and swap it out to try and Easter egg my way out of this.

My guess for the upgrade kit will prob be about $400. Could be up to $1K though.

Ryan from CGC called me directly and explained to me that the audio issue is a non-issue. He stated that after complaints that MBr was too loud that CGC intentionally lowered the output so that volume 21 on CCr is the same as AFMr at 8. Ryan said that my ticket is closed. I said ok but would really like to play someone else’s game so I don’t feel like I’m crazy. Because I feel crazy.

It is set to the same loudness as my other games even though the number is different. It just doesn’t go any louder. You can crank the other games if you want. CCr doesn’t. This weekend I’m going to measure it using an app I found to measure decibels. I will post the numbers once I have them. I would love to meet someone nearby who has the same game and claims it’s no different than the other remakes. If it’s a problem I want to fix it. If it’s not then I’m good. It does not detract from the enjoyment of the game currently. But would like to have the ability to go louder if I want.

I don’t know if fidelity is the correct word. In audio, "fidelity" denotes how accurately a copy reproduces its source. The audio sounds clean up to about 21. This volume is close in sound level to my other remakes at 8. Based on my calibrated ears. I keep my games at 8 so 21 is sufficient. If I want to make the game louder, I cannot. 21 is the loudest it gets without the sound quality becoming distorted. Even distorted, it doesn’t get much louder. If I want to turn up my other remakes to say 9, 10, 11 whatever it gets much louder. No distortion. CCr can’t keep up. I haven’t backed up any of my claims by actually measuring it. I plan on doing that this weekend if I have time. Ryan says this is normal. Everyone’s game is the same. Others have said 8 on CCr is the same as 8 on the other remakes. 8 on my CCr can’t be heard over the coil noises coming from the game. I found an app that measures noise level. It’s probably not super accurate, but I should be able to get a good apples to apples comparison.

Someone who lives near Groton, CT have a CCr I can come over and play to see if there is a difference?

To be clear about the audio. I normally keep my games at 8 or 9. 21 on CCr sounds the same to me as 8 or 9 on my other 2 remakes. I just can’t go much higher, and when I do the sound quality degrades. If I put the other remakes at 12 it drowns out CCr. So there isn’t much volume control beyond that. I will get some db numbers this weekend. That way it’s not just up to my ears to judge. One other user on here has said 8 on CCr is the same as 8 on his other remakes. Ryan from CGC has said to me that they redid the audio for CCr and what I have is normal.

Attempted to compare the audio on the games using an app. Averages 83 to 87 on all the games regardless on volumes 8 and above for AFMr and MMr. CCr set at 8 is about 70. I don’t trust the app. Not at all accurate. MMr at 21 reads the same as it does at 8. But that is loud AF. CCr at 18 to 21 are around 83 to 87. I need something more accurate for this to work. My ears still tell me 8 on MMr is 221 on CCr. Also tough to measure as just flipper and pop bumper noises push it to 85 ish.

How is the hat affixed? Friction fit or some kind of glue? I would probably use JB weld instead of superglue on the steel shaft.

We love ours and play it all the time. It’s my wife’s favorite game. It gets played more than MMr and AFMr. I can’t wait for the new code. To answer the question. Nobody knows when the new code is coming out. Even if you had an exact date, there is no guarantee that it would actually be released by then. I check this thread periodically hoping for an update on that but usually find people bickering about delivery dates and other stuff and then dip out. This thread must set the record for the number of people in it that don’t actually own it.

Like this idea a lot. Would like to see more modes that integrate the other characters that appear on the playfield or back glass. A timed beer mug mode kind of like the TZ green target.

Probably doesn’t need a diode

Mine was out of adjustment out of the box as well. It got worse over time but not before my wife got almost 300 beer mug hits. It finally stuck shut before I pulled it tweaked it to get it work correctly. That record will never be broken. If I reset to defaults my wife would be upset about it. So it stays. Lol

The only actual issue I’ve had was a switch out of adjustment. The skillshot switch which I was able to fix myself. It would score the skillshot on plunge or sometimes even before. The switch on the lower plastic ramp where the ball drops was the culprit. The sound seems under powered to me but have been told that’s the way it’s designed. Maybe an issue with an LE specific part? My game plays fine and I was able to complete everything.

This thread has gotten real negative. Is this an owners thread or a complain about not being an owner yet thread? I typically look for gameplay, scoring, troubleshooting, common problems, mods, etc. Here it’s just CGC lack of communication and lack of delivering LE’s. I’ve had my game for quite awhile now. We have been playing the crap out of it. There are SE’s all over the place. Why can’t the constant vitriol be in a separate thread where you just complain about CGC? Then you can all marinate in your own hatred. Let the CCr owners thread be for people who own the game. And @jfh, I wouldn’t respond to these people anymore. I had a problem and Ryan just called me out of the blue to discuss it with me. They seem committed to making great quality games. I’m sure they want to sell these games as it’s their business. I have 3 remakes and they are the best built, most trouble free games I’ve ever owned. I’m sorry that you guys haven’t gotten your games yet. But come on, enough is enough.

It’s just unfortunate that that an owners thread is diluted with this crap. You are right, it’s a forum. But there is a reason there are different threads instead of one big one. I open Pinside and think oh look 100 unread posts. Maybe some cool stuff. Nope. I just don’t feel like this is the thread for I’m angry about not getting my game yet. I would start the “I want my game and I want it now” thread but I don’t want to listen to it anymore. I wish you had your game but I can’t control it if Canada has some special import rules. So I guess I will avoid this thread and wait to hear info pertinent to the actual game from another source so you guys can beat on jfh. jfh there is an ignore button for the people that are hanging on your every post and picking it apart.

Should be a CH751 which is ultra common. It opens my other games. It opens my shed. It opens cabinets at work.

Lyman coded AFM. Lyman coded MM. “The Lord of Software”. The fact that the CC code is similar in architecture to those games. I know everyone sweats Lyman. And he is great. But simplicity of these games was created by Lyman.

Are the stock flipper rubbers silicone? They look like they are just making sure. Is this the correct forum for this type of question?

I assume the “PL” on the rubber is pinball life? I’m upgrading to precision flippers and just reused what I had because they look and feel like silicone. I was about to use natural rubber as that’s all I had on hand. I just flipped them over to use the unused side until I can get an order in for some blue ones.

I suppose it’s also possible I swapped them out and forgot doing it. The other runners appear natural.

This precisely describes my exact experience. 21 is about where 8 is on my other remakes. Above 21 it starts to get distorted sounding. Ryan says this is normal but some people are saying they are leaving their games at 8. I feel like there is very little volume control. Silent to adequate. But you are right, you can’t crank it if you wanted to. I would probably rarely want to go above this it just sucks that normal sound level is almost at max volume.

JIMP

We have been playing our SE for quite awhile now. We love it. Looking forward to the future upgrade kit. Can’t wait to see/install it.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Mike/Automated. I have a good pinball buddy who would tell you the same thing. I've always gotten the games for MSRP from him. If you pay cash (bank check), instead of credit card. He passes the savings of the CC fees on to you. Ignore the prices on the website and just call. They are a family run business. Nice guy to deal with. Drove down and bought my MMr, and CCr from him. Two different times, and separated by a couple years. Same price as everybody else. Even after they were done making MMr, before Royal. The guys load it right into the truck for you. Pretty cool show room. They will turn on all the games for you and let you play whatever you want. Gave me some Stern merch just for being a customer. Not to mention he supports the shows and brings tons of games.

Have not heard of this issue. Do you have a video?

Unless he meant “I blew my kids future college fund on pinball machines”. Then it’s genius. College is a waste of money.

I would think if it’s approved in the U.S. it should be a check in the box anywhere else. If the government is going to bang you so hard on taxes, one would think you should at least get something for your money.

The topper is $1250. How can anyone think a 2.0 upgrade is going to be $250? I’ll spend the $1250 I didn’t pay for a topper on this upgrade. Maybe more.

I have this same issue. The first time I resoldered the wires at the switch and the problem was gone for awhile. The switch on the lower right ramp that selects the award. I haven’t taken the time to investigate yet. Recently it started up again. It collects the award without scrolling the awards to the right. For me it’s intermittent but happens more often then not.
