I just placed an order with flipnout! Excited to get it. Guess I should start ordering some mods.

Well my cactus canyon should be here tomorrow. Can’t wait. Also something something Lyman code something something??????

I wish there were art blades similar to the LEs available. But I guess I’ll just have to settle for flylands awesome ones.

My se+ showed up today and I got it set up and threw some games on it. Everything seems to be working perfectly. I’m happy with it. I had played one on location and didn’t like it much, it’s too loud there to hear the games and I think it’s setup is bad/or it’s just beat with tons of plays and little maintenance. Really impressed with the quality feel of it. Need to get my mods and also a MM.

Hey what’s up with the new code? I’m only joking.

I agree but it’s the best one available. I wish something similar or the LE ones were available. Until then it’s the fly lands for me.

Does anyone know which size ring this is? It’s split on the backside. Figure I’ll just get it and some other stuff from Marco’s or planetary as the shipping is fast.

Thank you for the help gentleman. I’m not at home so I couldn’t look at the manual.

Do other people’s toppers make a horrible sound when the arms move?

Mine make a loud electric whir sound. Not quite grinding. I can hear it over the factory volume setting.

Well I inspected the noise in the topper. It’s only coming from the left arm. I took the arm off but that’s just a tapered connection. Not sure if I could get inside of there and lube up whatever is making the noise. Probably going to contact CGC about it as I can’t find any parts or diagrams for Bart himself.

CGC responded to my ticket same day for my grinding topper arm. Just waiting on it to arrive in the mail.

Something weird my machine does. Every so often when I get a gunfight on the left side and it holds the ball. Right as it releases it or could it be just before or after it’s really hard to tell. It goes into ball search mode. The machine figures it out real quick when I hit a switch though. Seems it happens with one of the two right side bad guys. I’m not sure what I could even check for that. Any ideas? Seems like a software thing to me.

I saw that. Thanks again!

This is a bummer. I have Rosie’s saloon and water tower coming so ordered Mezels train stop from Marco’s as they showed it in stock. Wonder if I should return it or cut it for string clearance.

I used a round file to notch for the string on the train stop mod. Also put the tape on the top thinking that buys me a bit of space.

I also found this vulture at the local farm supply store. It looks good but im thinking I’ll paint it to look like a turkey vulture. So I might ruin it. At 7.99 it’s not much of a gamble though.

Loving the game!!!

I want a PF but I’m scared to put a deposit down and feel locked in to two years. When I can buy a used one or a distributor with an extra one. I found my CCr by finding it in stock, and buying it. Maybe I’ll still need to wait two years but I’ll feel better about it.

I read this and went and checked mine, yep opto poking out. I put a washer under the bracket on one screw. Seems to be working and doesn’t go SDTM on the orbit now. Thanks for highlighting it. I was wondering what was causing it.

CGC support is top notch!!!

Has anyone used the art of pinball drop target decals? I like the look of them in color but it might not look good since they are lighted. Curious if anyone has tried it and if they can post a pic?

There are cheaper ones, but these are the premium laminated ones.

Edited to add. Per my googling it would seem these are on the original CC. I’m still curious how they would look on the remake. The targets are illuminated which is really cool but the black outline drawings are lacking. Though you can’t look at them much anyways and the color ones may end up being too dark. If the light lit them up it would be cool but I’m doubtful.

I wish they were available to buy. Pingraffix are the closest, but I already bought the flyland ones. I like some aspects of them but not others. Choices are great.

I’m also excited about code update. Game is pretty fun without it though. Also excited about pulp fiction. I wonder which I’ll get first.

There is a setting to override the minimum volume of 8. I would love to know the history of that number and why it is set up this way, but that’s for another time.

Sounds like you have a stuck switch but I’m unsure.

Well I decided to get this mod. Also decided to rip the art blade installing it too. But I might change to the pingraffix anyways. Tempted to combine it with the Mezel mod one.

You’ll never guess what is under the game. I’m hoping I have learned my lesson and will use them more. I usually remember once the playfield is up.

Thank you

As an fyi. Back alleys website seems to be back up and they have Polly for 215, which is much more palatable than the 275 I paid elsewhere.

I added a washer under the opto bracket on that side. Angled it just enough for the ball not to hit it. I believe someone else on here bent the opto bracket. Access was easy and under the playfield. It was a several/more pages back.
